Battery Analysis using Kinetic Battery Model with Voltage Response

Chemical storage batteries have particularities, the capacity is not constant and it varies with different loads, also the voltage can rise without charging the battery soon after the load is disconnected. This paper discusses the behavior of batteries throughout the Kinetic Battery Model. The kinetic battery model was used in this case to model a Lithium-ion battery but can be applied also in Lead-Acid Batteries or Ni-Mh technology. These energy storage systems have a strong growth trend especially in distribution systems and electric vehicle applications.
