Description: Lithium-ion batteries have become a key technology in our daily routine, from powering our portable electronics devices and electric vehicles to offering grid support and playing a crucial role in the reliable and cost-efficient grid integration of intermittent energy sources.
The objective of this two-day course is to provide the attendees with an extensive overview of Lithium-ion battery applications, such as EVs, grid support, nanosatellites or hybrid charging stations. Battery requirements for these applications as well as Li-ion batteries operation (power and energy management & mission profiles) in these applications will be thoroughly discussed. All the applications require power electronics solutions (e.g., BMS, chargers, power converters etc.) in order to assure Li-ion battery pack safety, high efficiency, and reliable operation. Power electronics play three important roles in tattery applications: charge/discharge management, battery cell balancing, and safety protection. In consequence, this course will provide extensive state-of-the-art on power electronics solutions with a special emphasis on battery management systems
Exemplifications of some of the discussed topics will be made through exercises in Matlab/Simulink.
