Course contents
The course teaches students about the integration of single battery cells into larger systems and how to control these safely and optimally in the intended application. Upon successful completion, participants in the course will know the requirements for safe operation of interconnected battery cells in modules or at system level. This includes the mechanical setup, as well as electronic security measures and online measurements to check batteries ideally. Control algorithms for specific use cases, such as fast charging or system-level optimizations, for example for "peak shaving" of consumption, is critically analyzed in lectures and exercises.
1. Battery packs/modules
2. Battery systems
3. State of charge estimation
4. State of health estimation
5. Cell balancing
6. Charging routines
7. Safety measure
8. Battery applications (EV, maritime, home storage, wearables etc.)
