This book shows you how to use physics-based models of battery cells in a computationally efficient way for optimal battery-pack management and control to maximize battery-pack performance and extend life. You'll understand the state of the art in physics-based methods for battery management and know where improvements beyond present state-of-art can still be made. With a strong emphasis on software and control aspects, the book also shows you how to overcome the primary roadblocks to implementing physics-based method for battery management: the computational-complexity roadblock, the parameter-identification roadblock, and the control-optimization roadblock.
