Particle Swarm Optimization Based Battery Parameter Identification

Flow chart and ECM model

Parameter identification of a battery Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The ECM includes a series resistance R0​, an RC branch with R1 and C1, and a polynomial OCV-SOC relationship. The equations that describe the Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) are given: The flow diagram takes you through the parameter optimization process. The … Read more

Tesla Fast Charge Thermal Model

Tesla fast charge thermal model building on open source data and a siemens model

Building on the Tesla fast charge thermal model that was discussed in the Siemens post: Race to the clouds: Battery thermal behavior simulation of a Tesla Model 3. This article looks at the cooling system and impact of a change in cooling direction. Starting with the model and the original Fast Charge Scenario. Fast Charge … Read more

Battery Cell Modelling

first order equivalent circuit model

The need for modelling The primary reason why one is interested in having a model of a battery is it allows us to make informed decisions, optimise or control a battery to deliver on its intended applications. For instance, we may be interested in knowing how different material choices, electrode compositions or cell packaging, will … Read more
