Battery

I’ve completed the “Introduction to Battery-Management Systems” course offered by the University of Colorado Boulder on Coursera, taught by Gregory Plett, earning an 85.87% grade. This intermediate-level course introduces the fundamentals of battery-management systems (BMS), focusing on the design and operation of systems that monitor and control batteries in electric vehicles and renewable energy applications. It is designed for learners with basic knowledge of electrical engineering or physics, offering practical insights into battery technology.
The course covers key topics such as battery chemistry, modeling, state estimation, and BMS design. Major content includes understanding lithium-ion battery behavior, developing equivalent-circuit models, implementing state-of-charge and state-of-health estimation algorithms, and ensuring battery safety and efficiency. The curriculum features video lectures, mathematical exercises, MATLAB simulations, and quizzes, with a final project applying BMS concepts to a practical scenario.
I learned to model battery performance, estimate critical parameters like charge levels, and design systems to optimize battery lifespan and safety. The course enhanced my technical skills in using MATLAB for simulations and deepened my understanding of energy storage systems.
While focused on battery technology, these skills are applicable to image processing and high-quality image/video production. MATLAB proficiency enables me to develop algorithms for image enhancement or video stabilization, automating repetitive tasks like color correction. Analytical modeling techniques help optimize power usage in portable filming equipment, ensuring reliable performance during extended shoots, which supports efficient, high-quality visual production.
