Algorithms for Battery Management Systems

In this specialization, you will learn the major functions that must be performed by a battery management system, how lithium-ion battery cells work and how to model their behaviors mathematically, and how to write algorithms (computer methods) to estimate state-of-charge, state-of-health, remaining energy, and available power, and how to balance cells in a battery pack

• Design equivalent-circuit models for lithium-ion battery cells
• Implement state-of-charge (SOC) estimators for lithium-ion battery cells
• Develop state-of-health (SOH) estimators for lithium-ion batteries
• Design balancers and power-limit estimators for battery packs

• Basic familiarity with the topic and its common terminology
• Readiness to practice through applied exercises or case-based work
