Fuzzy Logic-based Battery Management System for Solar-Powered Li-Ion Battery in Electric Vehicle Applications

Abstract

This paper presents the solar powered charging control of lithium-ion battery. The flyback converter is used to extract the maximum power from the solar photovoltaic (PV) array and charge the battery. This paper also presents the fuzzy logic-based battery management system to protect the batteries due to overcharging and over-discharging conditions. The proposed method is designed and developed in the MATLAB/Simulink platform. Solar PV powered battery system is tested for step change in irradiance conditions and corresponding results are measured and analyzed. The effectiveness of the fuzzy logic-based battery management system is also presented. The simulation model for BMS technique has overall efficiency of 95.1%. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, experimental verification of the proposed method is implemented in real time and compared with simulation results.
