Fundamentals of Battery Management Systems

This advanced bootcamp provides technical professionals with the skills to evaluate, model, and implement Battery Management Systems (BMS) for EV and stationary storage platforms. Participants will explore fault detection, state estimation, balancing algorithms, and pack-level integration — all anchored with project-based learning in Simulink.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Explain the link between cell behavior and BMS control needs
  2. Simulate SoC, SoH, and balancing using MATLAB/Simulink
  3. Design safety logic and evaluate embedded architecture

Future course dates coming soon!
