Research within Batteries

In the Batteries research group, we focus on activities at both battery cell level and battery system level.

The research activities at cell level are related to:

Electrical and thermal performance characterization of battery cells in a wide range of environmental and loading conditions, emulating real-life usage
Life time testing (accelerated or real-time) of battery cells using synthetic and/or real-life mission profiles
Development and parametrization of accurate electrical and thermal battery cell models based on experimental data and data-sheet.
Battery lifetime prediction based on battery performance-degradation models and machine learning techniques
State estimation (SOC, SOH, SOP) of battery cells using battery models and/or data-driven methods
Battery post-mortem analysis and aging mechanisms identification

The research activities at system level are related to:

Designing and prototyping of smart batteries with extended lifetime and fault tolerance
Diagnostics of EV batteries in both first-life and second-life
Optimized power and energy management strategies for batteries used in hybrid energy systems
Development of mission profiles for battery increased-performance and long-lifetime
