Integrated Intelligent Battery Management Architectures for Electric Vehicles: Dynamic Equalization, State Estimation, Reliability Design, And Charging Interface Optimization - Dr. Adrian Muller (Emerging Frontiers Library for The American Journal of Interdisciplinary Innovations and Research, 2025)
The rapid evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) has intensified the need for highly reliable, intelligent, and scalable battery management systems (BMS) capable of ensuring safety, longevity, and performance across complex operational scenarios. This research develops a comprehensive theoretical framework integrating active energy-balancing architectures, impedance-based safety diagnostics, multi-state estimation hierarchies, distributed communication reliability, and charging interface coordination. Drawing strictly from recent advances in dynamic equalization for second-life battery applications, intelligent control algorithms, master-slave BMS architectures, skew variation analysis in high-cell-count systems, and impedance-based safety monitoring, this study synthesizes an integrated design philosophy for next-generation EV battery systems. The methodology employs qualitative analytical modeling to examine interdependencies between balancing topology, state estimation accuracy, health monitoring, communication synchronization, and charging strategies. Results indicate that dynamic active balancing architectures combined with hierarchical state estimation significantly reduce state-of-charge dispersion, enhance pack uniformity, and improve safety margins. Impedance-based diagnostics contribute to early fault detection, while reliability-focused hardware design mitigates failure propagation risks. Furthermore, integration with advanced charging technologies and energy management frameworks supports lifecycle optimization and second-life deployment viability. The discussion highlights design trade-offs involving cost, computational burden, communication latency, and system scalability. The study concludes that holistic integration-rather than incremental subsystem optimization-is essential for achieving safe, intelligent, and sustainable EV battery ecosystems.
