Battery Pack Balancing and Power Estimation

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.

Course Description

In this course, you will learn how to design balancing systems and to compute remaining energy and available power for a battery pack. By the end of the course, you will be able to:-Evaluate different design choices for cell balancing and articulate their relative merits-Design component values for a simple passive balancing circuit-Use provided Octave/MATLAB simulation tools to evaluate how quickly a battery pack must be balanced-Compute remaining energy and available power using a simple cell model-Use provided Octave/MATLAB script to compute available power using a comprehensive equivalent-circuit cell model

In my opinion the best course in the whole specialization. It encompasses everything learned so far, gives a clear and easily understandable image of the importance of cell balancing and power estimation. The insight into the future of BMS is also highly valuable. I would greatly recommend this course to anyone interested in battery control algorithms.
