Internship | Physics-Based Battery Management Algorithm Development

About this position

Battery packs are currently driving the energy transition in the mobility sector. A battery pack consist of many individual battery cells connected in series or parallel. To ensure proper functioning and safety of all the individual cells, packs are monitored by a Battery Management System (BMS). A BMS is an embedded system which measures voltage, current and temperature to estimate battery metrics such as the state-of-charge. Such estimations are based on ‘empirical’ models (such as equivalent circuit models) that represent the battery. These models face limitations while predicting internal battery states, critical for predicting battery degradation (i.e., ageing) and extending its useful lifetime. In this assignment, you will be developing BMS algorithms based on a modelling approach that uses physics to capture the internal battery states to increase the useful lifetime of a battery.
