Analysis of a stand alone battery-converter device from a simulative systems engineering perspective

Abstract

A design analysis method for the concept of a modular battery pack based on physical modeling is presented, particularly for a prototype still under development. The originality of this work is threefold: A system engineering framework that aims to provide a process for design-based analysis. The construction of a modular battery system model and a focused examination on the technological implications of its design. This is achieved by a reliable assessment of the primary system components, the battery and dc-to-dc converter, proving consistency with recent insights from experiments and literature. The process is not limited to a specific design but can be applied to any battery system and serves as a starting point for further design optimization.
