About Introduction to Battery Management Systems course
This course may also be credited toward ECEA 5730 in the CU Boulder Electrical Engineering Master of Science program. This course will provide you with a solid foundation in lithium-ion cell terminology and function, as well as the battery management system requirements needed for the remainder of the specialization. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: - List the major functions provided by a battery management system and state their purpose - Match battery terminology with a list of definitions - Identify the major components of a lithium-ion cell and their purpose - Understand how a battery management system "measures" current, temperature, and insulation, and how it controls contactors - Identify the electronic components that can provide protection and state the minimum set of protection required - Calculate the stored energy in a battery pack - List the manufacturing steps involved in the various types of lithium-ion cells and the possible failure modes
