This course introduces principles, mathematical models and implementation of electrochemical energy conversion and storage. The principle of electrochemistry is introduced, including components of an electrolytic cell, Nernst’s equation, thermodynamics and electro kinetics. The basic of power conversion is introduced, including power electronics switches, converters and their control. The applications to batteries, solar cells and other emerging energy generation technologies are explored. Battery modeling, battery management system (BMS) and balancing technology for Li-ion battery are also introduced.

CILO-1: Apply the fundamental electrochemistry theorems to analyze the energy conversion process for implementing energy storage. CILO-2: Develop power conversion system and its control system that meet desired power conversion requirements while respecting realistic constraints. CILO-3: Identify and analyze the modeling of battery and its management system design. CILO-4: Develop and simulate battery model by using simulation tools.
