Suppliers of Battery Management Systems (BMS) face a number of challenges with regard to test, validation, and calibration. Development cycles are continuously shortened and budgets for real prototypes are limited. High-fidelity battery models are computationally expensive and hence hard to run in real-time; the process of parameterization is time-consuming and typically requires deep know-how of the battery cells. Besides these challenges, the test system hardware often doesn't have the necessary signal accuracy, current range for balancing, or cell emulation dynamics to exactly replicate the results from the high-fidelity battery model. The combination of ETAS hardware and Maplesoft plant model provides a solution to address these challenges.
