Table of contents
The course is connected to the following study programs
Recommended previous knowledge
Bachelor in Renewable Energy with specialization in battery technology
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- be able to use relevant calculation tools to model physical effects in batteries
- be able to establish models for battery systems and understand the background of the models, including limitations and applications
Contents
Together with ENE422 Battery Electrochemistry, the course will condense physical principles into functioning battery models. Students will benefit from a brief introduction utilizing computational environments (Matlab, Comsol) and gain experience working with these tools in the exercises. The course gives the students an understanding and the necessary toolkit to understand and model the physical effects in batteries. The approach from simplified model systems to detailed, physically based simulations provides students with a broad foundation and an in-depth understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the different types of modeling approaches.
1. Overview of battery simulations - from DFT to ECM
2. Equivalent circuit modeling
3. Model for one particle
4. Porous electrode model
5. 2D and 3D models
6. Thermal modeling of batteries
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures and exercises
The workload for the average student is estimated at 27 hours per credit.
