Battery State-of-Charge (SOC) Estimation

This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5732, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. In this course, you will learn how to implement different state-of-charge estimation methods and to evaluate their relative merits. By the end of the course, you will be able to: - Implement simple voltage-based and current-based state-of-charge estimators and understand their limitations - Explain the purpose of each step in the sequential-probabilistic-inference solution - Execute provided Octave/MATLAB script for a linear Kalman filter and evaluate results - Execute provided Octave/MATLAB script for state-of-charge estimation using an extended Kalman filter on lab-test data and evaluate results - Execute provided Octave/MATLAB script for state-of-charge estimation using a sigma-point Kalman filter on lab-test data and evaluate results - Implement method to detect and discard faulty voltage-sensor measurements

Excellent course, would be happy if those sigma points were explained too. But still got the main idea of sigma point and the steps to execute them.

The concepts taught were absolutely crucial for the later parts of this specialization and they were explained properly.

Using computer models to simulate battery behavior and estimate SOH was a skill I did not have before this course. It was taught in a gradual pace that was comfortable.
