ELE521 Electrical Energy Storage Systems

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course covers different types of electrical energy storage systems. It provides a broad understanding of the operating principles and the sizing techniques based on Ragone relation. Topics covered include energy and power analysis, secondary batteries with a focus on lithium-ion batteries, conventional supercapacitors, hybrid supercapacitors, modelling techniques, and state of charge and state of health estimation methods. Hybrid systems that combine two or more energy storage systems will be also discussed.

Prerequisite: ELE302 Electrical Circuits II or ELE300 Electric Circuits or ELE305 Introduction to Electrical Engineering
