In this online engineering specialization, you will learn the major functions that must be performed by a battery management system, how lithium-ion battery cells work, how to model their behaviors mathematically, 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.

By completing this specialization, you will be able to:

• D​esign equivalent-circuit models for lithium-ion battery cells
• Implement state-of-charge (SOC) estimators for lithium-ion battery cells
• Implement state-of-health (SOH) estimators for lithium-ion battery cells
• Design balancers and power-limits estimators for lithium-ion battery packs

Courses

• Introduction to Battery Management Systems
• Equivalent Circuit Cell Model Simulation
• Battery State-of-Charge (SOC) Estimation
• Battery State-of-Health (SOH) Estimation
