What You Will Learn
How to design equivalent-circuit models for lithium-ion battery cells
Course 2 of 5 in the Algorithms for Battery Management Systems Specialization.
Syllabus
Week 1
Defining an equivalent-circuit model of a Li-ion cell
In this module, you will learn how to derive the equations of an equivalent-circuit model of a lithium-ion battery cell.
Week 2
Identifying parameters of static model
In this module, you will learn how to determine the parameter values of the static part of an equivalent-circuit model.
Week 3
Identifying parameters of dynamic model
In this module, you will learn how to determine the parameter values of the dynamic part of an equivalent-circuit model.
Week 4
Simulating battery packs in different configurations
In this module, you will learn how to generalize the capability of simulating the voltage response of a single battery cell to a profile of input current versus time to being able to simulate constant-voltage and constant-power control of a battery cell, as well as different configurations of cells built into battery packs.
Week 5
Co-simulating battery and electric-vehicle load
In this honors module, you will learn how to co-simulate a battery pack and an electric-vehicle load. This ability aids in sizing vehicle components and the battery-pack.
Week 6
Capstone project
In this final module for the course, you will modify three sample Octave programs to create functions that can simulate temperature-dependent cells, battery packs built from PCMs, and battery packs built from SCMs.
