(NEPTUNE) Intelligent Battery Management with Thermal Safety Systems for Autonomous Vehicles and Warfighters
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The proposed work will deliver an autonomous battery management system (BMS) forrechargeable batteries, packs and modules, especially lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The work willbe performed in two phases or stages: Stage-I phase will deliver a minimum viable product (MVP)or proof of concept prototype and Stage-II will demonstrate MVP under harsh environments.MVP: STAGE-I1. The team will develop and deliver a working BMS package prototype in phase-I that can beeasily integrated into existing military Li-ion battery packs such as PP-8498 portable chargerto advance BMS to a TRL 5.2. The BMS prototype will demonstrate autonomous management and control of battery packsunder a set of realistic operational loads and environments including projectile impact inlaboratory conditions.3. The team will demonstrate the battery management capability of the prototype in response tovaried user cases in accordance with machine learning principles.STAGE-IIThe team will subject the BMS prototype protected battery system to extreme environmentalabuse (heat, mechanical impact, vibration) and aggressive electrical operation to demonstrate safeoperational and autonomous management of batteries in collaboration with Naval Surface WarfareCenter, Crane Division and Naval Research Lab.
