Abstract

The integration of battery energy storage systems with solar photovoltaic (PV) technology plays a critical role in improving energy reliability and utilization. However, the effectiveness of such systems is highly dependent on the performance of the battery charging mechanism and management strategy. This study proposes the design and optimization of a Battery Management System (BMS) to enhance charging performance in PV-based energy systems. The proposed system integrates a PV module, a DC–DC charger controller, and a lithium-ion battery pack equipped with a BMS capable of real-time monitoring and control of key parameters, including voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge (SOC). An adaptive charging strategy is implemented to regulate charging current based on battery conditions and PV output characteristics. Experimental results under varying charging currents 1.4 A to 5.2 A demonstrate that the BMS effectively maintains voltage balance among battery cells, with deviations ranging from 0.46% to 1.63% and an average below 2%. This indicates a significant improvement in cell balancing performance compared to conventional systems without BMS. Furthermore, the proposed system enhances charging efficiency, reduces energy losses, and improves battery safety by preventing overcharge and thermal stress. The results confirm that the optimized BMS provides a reliable and efficient solution for battery charging in solar PV applications, contributing to improved system performance and extended battery lifespan.
