Battery Design and Management

Batteries store and deliver energy that powers many electrified technologies, from electric vehicles and renewable energy systems to portable electronics. In this course, you’ll learn how to model, design, and manage batteries to ensure safe and reliable operation in real-world systems. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll design battery pack configurations to meet specific voltage and energy requirements and analyze how pack architecture affects system performance. You’ll also implement key components of a battery management system used to monitor and protect batteries. You’ll develop algorithms for safe charging, estimate the state of charge, and implement cell balancing to maintain safe and efficient battery operation. You’ll receive a free Simulink and Simscape license to model battery systems, test management strategies, and evaluate system behavior before hardware is built. By the end of the course, you’ll develop practical skills in battery modeling and management that engineers use to design and optimize the energy storage systems powering today’s electrified technologies.
