Episode 1 - Simulating Battery Aging for Smarter Performance

In this Tech Tip, you can learn how GT-SUITE helps engineers accurately simulate battery aging for EVs, eVTOLs, and more. If you're an engineer working on battery development, accurate aging prediction is essential. Whether you're designing a new pack or optimizing an existing one, understanding battery degradation is key to performance, safety, and longevity.

Episode 2 - Estimating State of Charge in BMS Using GT-SUITE

In this Tech Tip, learn how GT-SUITE can be used to simulate State of Charge (SoC) estimation within a Battery Management System (BMS), a key factor in ensuring safe, reliable, and long-lasting battery performance. Accurate SoC estimation helps prevent overcharging, unexpected shutdowns, range miscalculations, and early degradation. 

Episode 3 - Estimating the State of Health of a Battery Pack in BMS using GT-SUITE

Explore the second key function of a Battery Management System (BMS): estimating the State of Health (SOH) of a battery pack. While State of Charge (SOC) tells us how much energy remains,SOH provides insight into the battery's overall condition, helping determine when maintenance or replacement is needed.

Episode 4 - Simulating Cell Balancing in a Battery Management System using GT-SUITE

This Tech Tip demonstrates how GT-SUITE can be used to simulate thermal control strategies within a Battery Management System (BMS). Learn covers why maintaining optimal battery temperature is essential for performance and longevity and shows how the BMS regulates coolant flow to manage temperature under different operating conditions.

Episode 5 - Estimating State of Charge in BMS Using GT-SUITE

In this Tech Tip, learn how GT-SUITE can be used to simulate cell balancing within a Battery Management System (BMS), a key function for extending battery life and maximizing usable capacity. The video covers both passive and active balancing methods and shows how engineers can model control logic and system behavior to optimize performance and reduce battery pack degradation.

Episode 6 - Cell Protection in BMS using GT-SUITE

In the final Tech Tip of the series, discover how GT-SUITE can simulate cell protection functions within a Battery Management System (BMS), crucial for battery safety, reliability, and performance. Learn how to develop charging and discharging strategies that prevent overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating by monitoring key parameters like temperature, voltage, and current in real-world EV scenarios.
