Electric Vehicles (EVs) have gained acceptance as low or zero emission means of transportation. This thesis deals with the design of a battery cell testing platform and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery modeling for EVs. A novel regenerative cell testing platform is developed for cell cycling applications. A 300 W - 5 V cell cycler consisting of a buck and a boost converter is designed.
Furthermore, a novel battery modeling approach is proposed to accurately predict the battery performance by dynamically updating the model parameters based on the battery temperature and State of Charge (SOC). The comparison between the experimental and the model simulation results of an automotive cell under real-world drive-cycle illustrates 96.5% accuracy of the model. In addition, the model can be utilized to assess the long-term impact of battery impedance on performance of EVs under real-world drive-cycles.
