Battery Management and Safety ~ 4-6 hours 60 days after start date 1

Estimation and control of the states of the battery are essential to extract the maximum usable energy and highest available power while maintaining safe operation in hybrid and electric vehicle systems. Battery Management and Safety reviews the modeling techniques, concepts, and algorithms used in advanced battery management systems (BMS).

Learning Objectives

  • Understand and summarize the basic components and functionality of the Battery Management System
  • Design and model battery systems
  • Choose the appropriate model complexity for a given application
  • Parameterize equivalent circuit battery models using experimental I,V,T data
  • Discuss the factors that influence battery performance and required protection schemes
  • Apply the state of the art in battery modeling and controls research
