Battery Pack Design Solution for Battery EVs in Simscape

Battery pack model for thermal management tasks, with modules of cells in series and parallel.

This repository shows use of Simscape to model an electric vehicle battery pack. There are three examples:

1. Battery Pack Thermal Management

Shows how to model an automotive battery pack for thermal management tasks.

2. Full Vehicle Thermal Management

Shows a BEV full vehicle thermal management with a detailed battery model.

3. Workflow from Module Design to Full Pack

Demonstrates a workflow to go from a detailed battery module design to a real-time pack plant model

4. Battery Management System for State of Charge estimation

Shows how to use Kalman Filters (EKF) and predict battery state of charge.

5. Battery Temperature estimation using Neural Networks

Shows how to use Neural Networks to eliminate a sensor in the battery pack. Demonstrates a workflow to generate training data for neural networks, train the network, validate it and use for time-series prediciton, and code generation for hardware deployment.

Open batteryExamplesProjectSetup.prj to get started up the project path. The project shortcut buttons in the toolstrip open these three examples.
