Panel 5: Battery management technology in automotive applications

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Today´s electric vehicle batteries are expensive and prone to unexpected failure. Batteries are complex systems, and developing techniques to cost?effectively monitor and manage important performance measures while predicting battery failure remains a key technological challenge. As battery technology continues to grow very quickly, it is important to also focus on improving the performance of the battery management technology to make the battery a safe, reliable, and cost efficient solution. This panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities of the battery management technology in automotive applications.
