Energies 2017,10, 1503 3. ExperimentalResults Theproposed smartLIB system is implementedas a 12-cell seriesLIB-packprototype to test the fault-detection anddiagnosis algorithms, as shownearlier. In addition, an actual loadprofile foranelectricvehicle isusedtovalidate theproposedsystemafter the fault-detectionanddiagnosis algorithms. Theoverall structureandthephysical testingsystemsetupsareshowninFigure9. Figure9.Test setupfor12-cell seriesLithium-ionbattery (LIB)andgraphical-user-interface (GUI). In order to increase the flexibility of the power system, the proposed battery-power system providesa touchscreenLCDinterface forusers toconfigure thebattery-powersystem. It consistsof parameterssuchasbattery-cell type,battery-cell ratedcapacity,maximumdischargingcurrentand battery-packgroupingtopologyfor thebatterypackduringthefirst initialization. Thisopenfeature enables thecontroller toadapt tovarious typesof thebatterycellanddifferent topologies. Thefront pageof theGUI isshowninFigure10,while theuser’sconfigurationpagecanbeseen inFigure11.
