This thesis investigates novel algorithms for enabling the use of first-principle electrochemical models for battery monitoring and control in advanced battery management systems (BMSs). Specifically, the fast solution and state estimation of a high-fidelity spatially resolved thermal-electrochemical lithium-ion battery model commonly referred to as the pseudo two-dimensional (P2D) model are investigated. The partial-differential algebraic equations (PDAEs) constituting the model are spatially discretised using Chebyshev orthogonal collocation enabling fast and accurate simulations up to high C-rates. This implementation of the P2D model is then used in combination with an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm modified for differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) to estimate the states of the model, e.g. lithium concentrations, overpotential. The state estimation algorithm is able to rapidly recover the model states from current, voltage and temperature measurements. Results show that the error on the state estimate falls below 1% in less than 200s despite a 30% error on battery initial state-of-charge (SoC) and additive measurement noise with 10mV and 0.5°C standard deviations. The parameter accuracy of such first-principle models is of utmost importance for the trustworthy estimation of internal battery electrochemical states. Therefore, the identifiability of the simpler single particle (SP) electrochemical model is investigated both in principle and in practice. Grouping parameters and partially non-dimensionalising the SP model equations in order to understand the maximum expected degrees of freedom in the problem reveals that there are only six unique parameters in the SP model. The structural identifiability is then examined by asking whether the transfer function of the linearised SP model is unique. It is found that the model is unique provided that the electrode open circuit voltage curves have a non-zero gradient, the parameters are ordered, and that the behaviour of the kinetics of each electrode is lumped together into a single parameter which is the charge transfer resistance. The practical estimation of the SP model parameters from frequency-domain experimental data obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is then investigated and shows that estimation at a single SoC is insufficient to obtain satisfactory results and EIS data at multiple SoCs must be combined.
