EV Battery Electrical & Thermal Simulations

Description

This course focuses on electrical and thermal simulation models of EV batteries. It gives emphasis on the thermal effects which can lead to battery degradation. Also, well designed cooling enables rapid-charging. Next, the course gives the tools for identification of cell properties. Conclusions and lessons learned from customer projects and are shown to give the participants guidelines for optimal thermal design of battery packs.

Who should attend?

This course is intended for electrical engineers who need to learn guidelines for thermal modelling of batteries or for mechanical engineers who need to learn basics of electrical modelling of batteries. Battery experts can appreciate the course for the knowledge and skills in battery simulation.

Course Objectives

The objective of the course is to give the participants a quick, yet detailed start into battery simulation. Electrical and thermal simulation models of the batteries will be illustrated by automotive examples: dynamic driving and rapid-charging. The objective is to give the participants tools and skills to develop and apply the basic calculation models on their own. Where possible, course examples will be shared with participants as Excel spreadsheets or MATLAB® scripts.
