Short Abstract:

Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems (EESSs) are vital components in various applications, including electric mobility, portable devices and tools, as well as stationary applications. Optimal control of EESSs requires a sophisticated electronic system, typically called a Battery Management System, which monitors the EESSs, estimates its internal state variables, and identifies the best control actions.

This course aims to provide PhD students with the knowledge and skills to make informed use of EESSs in their research field. It is divided into three modules: an introduction to different types of EESSs and their applications, a description of commonly used models [1], and a focus on Battery Management Systems and their main functions [2, 3].
