The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) at SiliconTech, the engineering institute of Silicon University, in association with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) student chapter and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), organized a two-day Skill Enhancement Program, titled ‘Upskilling Educators: Workshop on Battery Management Systems (BMS)’ on 9 and 10 December 2025.
The objective of the workshop was to provide participants with a deep understanding of BMS concepts, including the fundamentals of Li-ion batteries, BMS architecture, and essential cell balancing techniques. The program aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation by introducing tools such as Proteus-based simulations. By the end of the workshop, participants were expected to gain the skills necessary to effectively guide students in EV- and battery-related projects, empowering them to apply these concepts in academic and industry settings.
The two-day workshop was conducted by Mr. M. Kunal, Founder & Director of Logiczap Next Gen Technologies. On the first day, the discussions centered around the basics of BMS, including Li-ion battery behavior, BMS protection mechanisms, and the responsibilities of a BMS engineer. Participants also engaged in Proteus simulations for single-cell charging and cell balancing techniques. On the second day, the workshop shifted focus to practical implementation, including voltage sensing circuits, MOSFET operation, and passive balancing strategies. Participants were actively involved in designing and simulating complete mini BMS architectures, followed by live debugging and case study discussions to solve real-world problems.
The program concluded with a vote of thanks by Dr. Pratap Ranjan Mohanty, Faculty Coordinator of IEEE at SiliconTech, who expressed gratitude to the Head of the Department, the organizing team, and the resource person, Mr. M. Kunal. The skill enhancement program provided a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, with 18 participants gaining valuable insights into BMS design, troubleshooting, and implementation. This successful initiative further strengthened the department’s commitment to upskilling educators and fostering industry-academia collaborations.
