Define the components and geometry of a battery module. Visualize the module geometry. Change the simulation strategy. Automatically build the battery module in Simscape. Simulate the battery module in a simple test harness. Published: 20 Sep 2022
A 12-cell battery stack module with active balancing. Electrification is the key for lower emission vehicles, but requires a smart management of the energy source—the Li-Ion battery. If not managed properly, a battery pack can become unreliable, and drastically reduce the safety of the automobile.
The battery pack consists of two battery modules, which are combinations of cells in series and parallel. You will learn how to train, validate, deploy a neural network to predict Battery Pack temperature. Battery pack model for thermal management tasks, with modules of cells in series and parallel.
Open batteryExamplesProjectSetup.prj to get started up the project path. The project shortcut buttons in the toolstrip open these three examples. All examples have a battery-module custom component that is based on Simscape Electrical Battery (Table-Based) block for modeling battery behavior.
Battery manufacturers attempt to provide stacks with identical cells, but this is not physically possible. Even small differences lead to different charge or discharge levels, with the weakest cell in the stack disproportionately affecting overall stack performance.
The battery management system can communicate with an external host or battery charger using USB communication or asynchronous serial communication such as RS232 or RS485.
