Battery Management, Connection and Control

Certificate Description:

This certificate will allow participants to dive deep into power conversion systems that connect storage systems to smart grids and consumers, learning how to choose the right type of converter while assessing overall system performance with respect to energy efficiency. It also introduces battery management systems and the critical parameters that we can control, the use of battery testing and operation simulation in order to predict real-world in-service behavior.

Certificate consists of the following courses:

1. Introduction to Power Electronic Converters
2. Power conversion and efficiency in battery systems
3. Power Electronics and Grid connection
4. Battery Management Systems
5. Battery Testing
6. Modelling, simulation and control

Certificate outcomes:

• Expertly discuss the role of power conversion systems

• Distinguish and assess the type of power converters for battery applications

• Understand and explain the importance and function of battery management systems in the control and operation of batteries

• Describe different battery testing procedures and the relevant characteristics that can be determined

Understand how we can simulate battery operation in order to predict in-service behavior
