Description

The Model-Based Design Curriculum is a series of self-paced learning modules aimed at developing a basic understanding of Model-Based Design within the context of hybrid electric vehicles. In this course, Model-Based Design is defined as a method for developing mathematical models for physical systems and controllers in complex systems such as a vehicle powertrain. The intent of this course is to build understanding of complex systems through the development of basic models that can be modified to incorporate more complex behaviors. Battery Systems is the second course in the series.  It provides an introduction to batteries, and discusses dynamic battery modeling, battery safety, state-of-charge and state-of-health estimations, and power management techniques.

The content of this course is designed for  sophomore or higher college engineering students. The models developed in this module are built using MATLAB and Simulink release 2012b.
