Courses Detail Information
ECE6904J – Battery Modeling, Simulation, and Management
Instructors:
Credits: 3 Credits
Pre-requisites: Graduate Standing
Description:
The course will cover the basic modeling, simulation, and management of lithium-ion batteries, which consist of several series- and/or parallel connected elementary battery cells. The course will cover:
an overview of the battery technologies with special regard to electric vehicles and to microgrids,
various BMS functions with corresponding modeling and simulation.
the battery state concepts including the State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH) and State of Function (SOF)
the estimation the remaining energy stored in the battery, its ability to power a load, and diagnosis and prognosis considerations.
Matlab/Simulink will be used extensively to help students learn the modeling techniques such as the battery circuit equivalent models, the limitation of models, and the approaches to estimate SOC, SOH and SOF of the battery. The course has a mid-term project, a final project, and several in class short quizzes.
