Final Year Project

Project Title

State of Charge (SoC) Estimation of Lithium-ion Batteries Using Machine Learning

Description

As the dependence upon batteries increased significantly, reliance on battery management systems increased as well. These battery management systems, for quite a while, have been under research to have better prognostics and predictions. Our project is an important component of these battery management systems. Better SoC estimations lead to a better state of health estimations which in return lead to better estimation of the remaining useful lifetime of the batteries. (Group Project-Interdisciplinary)
