Intended learning outcomes
An overarching goal is to be able to solve systems engineering problems for battery systems. After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- Describe and perform basic calculations for battery systems' construction, function, safety, and reliability.
- Mathematically model, parameterize, and simulate batteries.
- Implement and evaluate battery management system functions.
Course content
- Introduction of battery cells and battery systems.
- Physical principles of battery function, with a focus on Li-ion cells.
- Basic properties and characterization of battery cells.
- Standardized cell tests for performance evaluation.
- Mathematical modeling of cells with a focus on circuit-equivalent models.
- Parameterization of battery models for adaptation to measurement data.
- Simulation of battery models in typical operating conditions.
- Charging strategies.
- Fundamental functions of the battery management system (BMS).
- State-of-charge (SOC) estimation.
- Cell balancing.
- Aging phenomena, battery health, and sustainability.
- Voltage and power limitations.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, lessons, laboratory work, and a written examination.
Examination
| TEN1 | Written Examination | 4 credits | U, 3, 4, 5 |
| LAB1 | Laboratory Work | 2 credits | U, G |
Grades for examination modules are decided in accordance with the assessment criteria presented at the start of the course.

About teaching and examination language
The teaching language is presented in the Overview tab for each course. The examination language relates to the teaching language as follows:
- If teaching language is “Swedish”, the course as a whole could be given in Swedish, or partly in English. Examination language is Swedish, but parts of the examination can be in English.
- If teaching language is “English”, the course as a whole is taught in English. Examination language is English.
- If teaching language is “Swedish/English”, the course as a whole will be taught in English if students without prior knowledge of the Swedish language participate. Examination language is Swedish or English depending on teaching language.
Other
The course is conducted in such a way that there are equal opportunities with regard to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age.
The planning and implementation of a course should correspond to the course syllabus. The course evaluation should therefore be conducted with the course syllabus as a starting point.
The course is campus-based at the location specified for the course, unless otherwise stated under “Teaching and working methods”. Please note, in a campus-based course occasional remote sessions could be included.
