Abstract

A simulation environment for the design of battery man-agement systems (BMS) based on the modelling lan-guages SystemC/SystemC AMS will be presented. Models of battery cells, the temperature and current sensors, the components for balancing of the battery cells, the inte-grated circuits to monitor the cell voltages and the inter-face for the data transmission to the controller where the BMS software is running describe the hardware. The soft-ware can be integrated via an AUTOSAR RTE compliant application programming interface into the simulation. The approach allows considering the nominal as well as the faulty behaviour of components. The simulation environ-ment is integrated into the design environment COSIDE.
