Welcome to Equivalent Circuit Cell Model Simulation!
This course is the second in a specialization that investigates
the proper management and control of battery packs, usually comprising many cells
To be able to estimate SOC, SOH, available power and
energy, we require a mathematical description (or “model”)
of how battery cells work
An additional benefit is that we can use model to develop
programs to simulate operation of battery cells and packs
Models describing battery and its load can be co-simulated to determine how they
will operate together, which can be very helpful to evaluate system design

a cell’s voltage responds to a change in its input current
The laboratory tests needed to gather data required to find
unknown parameter values in these equations
How to analyze these data to find the parameter values
How to write code to simulate battery cells and packs
How to simulate a representative battery load (honors)
