Cost modeling of lithium‐ion battery cells for automotive applications

Modeling Automotive Battery Diagnostics

A utomotive electrical systems are becoming increasingly complex as more and more electrical and electronic equipment is incorporated into new vehicles. With this trend, the growing demand for electrical power is placing greater demands on the automobile’s primary source of electrical energy storage — the lead-acid battery. Whether the vehicle relies on an internal combustion engine, is a hybri...

An Acausal Li-Ion Battery Pack Model for Automotive Applications

In this work, a novel acausal and reconfigurable battery pack model is presented. The model structure adopted for the battery cell is based on an equivalent circuit representation. The circuit elements are modified to take account of both hysteresis and diffusion limitation. The latter is known to be a nonlinear function of large operating currents or long operating times. It is shown that the ...

Inventory System Modeling: A case of an Automotive Battery Manufacturer

Production systems necessarily feature both detail complexity, the effect of having many variables, and dynamic complexity, the effect of time and spatial separation, non-linearity, and counter-intuitive relationships between cause and effect. This paper presents a system dynamics modeling of a Nigerian automotive battery production organisation. Policy runs of the system simulation were done t...

Bidirectional single fiber low-cost optoelectronic interconnect for automotive applications

Current trends in vehicular technology reflect an increase in the number of electronic modules, leading to more complicated and expensive wiring. The use of optic fibers offers a low-cost alternative to traditional copper-wire harnesses. This paper presents a bidirectional, alignment-tolerant optoelectronic interconnect for automotive applications. The proposed interconnect offers a low manufac...
