Naval Education Ecosystem Design for Battery Pack Agnostic Intelligent Battery Management Systems

Abstract

ABSTRACT TITLE: Naval Education Ecosystem Design for Intelligent Battery Management with Thermal Safety Systems for Autonomous Warfighters The proposed work will deliver an educational module focused on introducing autonomous battery management system (BMS) for rechargeable batteries, packs and modules, especially lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. 1. The team is working on a working BMS package prototype that can be easily integrated into existing military Li-ion battery packs such as PP-8498 portable charger. 2. The BMS prototype will demonstrate autonomous management and control of battery packs under a set of realistic operational loads and environments including projectile impact in laboratory conditions. 3. The team will demonstrate the battery management capability of the prototype in response to varied user cases in accordance with machine learning principles. 4. Along with the technology development focus will be on developing educational modules for NAVY that can be incorporated in safety of shipboard Li-ion battery management systems. The team will subject the BMS prototype protected battery system to extreme environmental abuse (heat, mechanical impact, vibration) and aggressive electrical operation to demonstrate safe operational and autonomous management. The educational modules will focus on autonomy, battery safety standards, machine learning, and industrial practices.
