Strategies to Extend the Lifespan of Automotive Batteries through Battery Modeling and System Simulation: The MOBICUS Project

This paper deals with the Mobicus project which aims at developing empirical Li-ion battery aging models and using them to define the best management strategies in order to extend the battery lifetime for a given application in a usage scenario. A complete case study based on a PHEV vehicle is presented. This study implements various simulators using a calibrated empirical aging model, a battery module prototype and a complex test environment able to reproduce the thermal and electrical scenario associated with the different management strategies of the battery.
