Equivalent Circuit Cell Model Simulation

Description

In this course, you will learn the purpose of each component in an equivalent-circuit model of a lithium-ion battery cell, how to determine their parameter values from lab-test data, and how to use them to simulate cell behaviors under different load profiles. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
– State the purpose for each component in an equivalent-circuit model
– Compute approximate parameter values for a circuit model using data from a simple lab test
– Determine coulombic efficiency of a cell from lab-test data
– Use provided Octave/MATLAB script to compute open-circuit-voltage relationship for a cell from lab-test data
– Use provided Octave/MATLAB script to compute optimized values for dynamic parameters in model
– Simulate an electric vehicle to yield estimates of range and to specify drivetrain components
– Simulate battery packs to understand and predict behaviors when there is cell-to-cell variation in parameter values
