Smart Battery I: Hardware and System Design (2024)

Organizer: Prof. Remus Teodorescu, Aalborg University.

Lecturers:  Prof. Remus Teodorescu, Aalborg University

ECTS: 2.0

Date/Time: 25-26 November 2024

Deadline: 04 November 2024

Place: AAU Energy, Pontoppidanstraede, Aalborg, Denmark

Max no. of participants: 30

Description: Lithium-ion batteries have a wide range of applications. The improvement in their energy and power densities have greatly enhanced the growth of e-mobility. Higher penetration of electric vehicles can happen faster with safer, more reliable and intelligent ali-ion energy storage systems.

This two-day course develops the concept of ‘Smart Batteries (SB)’ for Li-ion cells. Smart battery integrates power electronics and intelligent control to the cells. This is done by using a half-bridge circuit connected across the cell terminals. The course introduces the operation of the SB with the integrated half bridge circuit.

The course gives a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art battery management systems, chargers/charging methods. This discussion evolves into the advantages of the SB in making smart BMS and energy efficient charging methods and lifetime improvement. The design of the SB, optimal device selection, PCB design for different geometries of the cells (prismatic, pouch and cylindrical ) will be discussed. The SB also has intelligent control and the course introduces the communication architecture and controller selection for the SB management systems. Simulation exercises in Simulink/Plecs/LTSpice will be used as tools to understand and appreciate the SB concept and hardware architecture. 

• Day 1: Power Electronics in Li-ion battery systems – Remus Teodorescu, Abhijit Kulkarni (8 hours)
• Day 2: Smart Battery Design, Abhijit Kulkarni, Renata Oliveira de Sousa(8 hours)
  
  

Note: the course language is English.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
