Practical Battery Design and Control

Covering what real-world battery engineers need to know, this book pulls together in one resource the many calculations and practical considerations that a battery engineer faces daily. It gives you the basics, including battery chemistry, design, impedance, charging, and manufacturing, as well as alternative energy solutions like supercapacitors, energy harvesting, and fuel cells. The book goes on to provide a detailed view of the field's newest frontiers, such as Si anode, Li metal anode, and new artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning possibilities, and equips you with the practical knowledge with intuitive explanations you need to solve real-world battery problems and challenges. This is a great resource for battery engineers and managers looking to expand their knowledge to broader areas and better collaborate with other experts; new battery engineers who would like to learn the solutions to the potential real problems related to their day-to-day job; software and system designers who need essential and practical battery knowledge to use a battery or collaborate on a project.
