• Vehicular application
– Electrification improves energy
usage – hybrids
• use ICE at 35% instead of 10-
20% efficiency
• Reuse deceleration energy for
acceleration
– Pure renewable fuel/energy
• System view
– Charging, static vs dynamic
Battery and Propulsion – Compatability, AC current loading

Information
Energy
• Voltage equalization,
which is to fill up energy
and maximize capacity
and life by ”removing”
unbalanced weak links
• Active/passive –
taking/wasting energy

• power_battery, power_pattery_temperature
• State of the art model for concept development and
evaluation
Testing batteries
Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation
• Electrochemical dynamic
response
– Respons is related to ion-
current/diffusion rate in the cell
– Slower response for weaker
batteries
• Characterization
– LF dubbed diffusion
– MF charge transfer
– HF migration
• Batteries with faded capacity
suffer from low charge
transfer and slow active Li-
ion diffusion.
