- Duration:
- 1 term
The course is connected to the following study programs
Recommended prerequisites
Bachelor in Renewable Energy with specialization in battery technology
Course contents
Together with ENE422 Battery Electrochemistry, the course will condense physical principles into functioning battery models. Students will benefit from a brief introduction utilizing computational environments (Matlab, Comsol) and gain experience working with these tools in the exercises. The course gives the students an understanding and the necessary toolkit to understand and model the physical effects in batteries. The approach from simplified model systems to detailed, physically based simulations provides students with a broad foundation and an in-depth understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the different types of modeling approaches.
1. Overview of battery simulations - from DFT to ECM
2. Equivalent circuit modeling
3. Model for one particle
4. Porous electrode model
5. 2D and 3D models
6. Thermal modeling of batteries
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
-
be able to use relevant calculation tools to model physical effects in batteries
-
be able to establish models for battery systems and understand the background of the models, including limitations and applications
Examination requirements
The student must have approved compulsory exercises in order to take the exam. An overview of compulsory assignments is given in Canvas at the start of the semester.
Teaching methods
Lectures and exercises
The workload for the average student is estimated at 27 hours per credit.
Evaluation
The person responsible for the course decides, in cooperation with student representative, the form of student evaluation and whether the course is to have a midway or end of course evaluation in accordance with the quality system for education, chapter 4.1.
Offered as Single Standing Module
Yes. Subject to availability or capacity.
Assessment methods and criteria
Portfolio exam. Content will be given at the start of the semester. Graded grade.
