Course Content
This course covers the development of battery technologies and battery chemistries such as LFP, Li-Ion, and NMC. It examines charge-discharge curves, impedance characteristics, life estimation (SoC/SoH), and safety aspects. The course introduces Battery Management System (BMS) components, STM (Arm)-based microcontrollers, and communication protocols (I2C/UART). It also includes practical project applications for voltage/temperature sensing, cell balancing, and current/voltage protection using the STM BMS evaluation board.
Objectives of the Course
The objective of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of basic battery chemistries, operational characteristics, and safety aspects. The course aims to teach the architecture of Battery Management Systems (BMS) and the hardware/software development processes of STM-based microcontrollers, enabling students to develop cell balancing, protection algorithms, and embedded coding practices on BMS evaluation boards for real-time battery management projects.
