    Battery management is a key technology to realize electric driving of new energy vehicles (electric vehicles), which is essential
    for driving safety and extending battery life.
    Vitesco Technologies has won orders worth more than €2 billion with an innovative battery management system (BMS), including battery control units
    that will provide wireless communication technology for 400V and 800V pure electric vehicle architectures.

     
    Orders for electrified products are growing rapidly
     
    According to Vitesco Technologies' financial report for the second quarter of 2022, new orders in the second quarter of 2022 were approximately EUR 3.
    7 billion, of which EUR 3 billion came from electrification-related products
    .
    This includes the announcement in May of an order of up to €1.
    7 billion for battery management systems from an international advanced OEM customer
    .

     
    From 2025, the company will also supply Renault Group with an all-in-one on-board charging system that integrates DC/DC converters and chargers, which will be used in pure electric vehicles
    .

     
    Recently, Vitesco Technologies has won several orders
    with a total value of more than 2 billion euros with its innovative battery management system.
    This innovative solution saves space by reducing complex battery cabling while increasing battery capacity or reducing battery size and weight to increase range
    .

     
    What is battery management?
     
    Battery management is an intelligent BMS solution consisting of control units, sensors, application software, etc.
    , which prevents battery overheating, ensures that all battery cells are in a balanced state of charge, and provides the longest battery life and longest life
    .
    Obviously, this is indispensable for the safety of electric vehicle driving and extending the battery life
    .

     
    The core function of the BMS is composed of two types of control units, namely the battery management controller, which is used to permanently monitor the status of the battery and module; The cell monitoring module is the second type of controller that monitors and balances the state of charge of individual battery modules
    .
    The company is said to be developing a new battery active balancing controller to additionally improve the energy efficiency
    of some batteries.

     
    3 battery management technology innovations
     
    The rapid expansion of new energy vehicles (including electric vehicles) in the world is obvious to all, and with the help of all parties in the industry chain, the penetration rate is still increasing
    year by year.
    Policy promotion and strong market demand are important driving forces for new energy vehicles, but in the final analysis, the iterative upgrading of technology is the leading force
    driving any industrial change.

     
    At a media conference, Vitesco demonstrated three technologies
    , including a high-performance main controller, an 800V silicon carbide high-voltage electric drive system, and an intelligent thermal management system.
    Among them, intelligent thermal management systems also contribute to fast high-voltage charging under DC conditions: At charging stations with a DC charging capacity of up to 350 kW, large amounts of current flow into the battery
    in a very short time.

     
    In general, the temperature rises quickly in a short period of time for fast high-voltage charging of batteries, and the intelligent thermal management system ensures the efficient operation
    of the entire charging process by limiting the temperature.
    In other words, this means that the expectations of car owners to charge 80% in just 10 minutes can be fulfilled
    .
