Design Considerations of a Lithium Ion Battery Management System (BMS) for the STSAT-3 Satellite

This paper introduces a lithium ion battery management system (BMS) for the STSAT-3 satellite. The specifications of a lithium ion battery unit are proposed to supply power to the satellite and the overall electrical and mechanical designs for a lithium ion battery management system are presented. The structural simulation results will be shown to confirm the behavior of both the BMS and the cells.
