Responsibilities
Successful Integration of Cell Lifetime Model for Cell Hardware-in-Loop (CHIL) Testing
Quantify the errors between the advanced controls vs actual cell response
Import the Lifetime Model and build a Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) environment with a cell plant model to validate Lifetime Model outputs
Code-generate and build Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) with embedded Lifetime Models, and run tests to estimate the cell’s State of Health (SOH) in real time
The candidate should understand how the vehicle’s SOH is estimated using the Lifetime Model and how to validate it within a Model-in-the-Loop framework, ensuring successful integration with the battery tester
The candidate will gain hands-on experience in rigorous model validation through testing of lithium-ion cells
The candidate will also learn how to compile embedded controls from Simulink and develop test protocols that integrate real-time SOH calculations during fast-charge cell tests
