Battery Management via System Reconfiguration

IEEE Vehicular Technology Chapter Presentation Battery Management via System Reconfiguration Dr. Liang He, University of Michigan, USA Abstract: Batteries are widely used in various systems such as electric vehicles, aircraft, and mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. Efficient battery management protocols are highly demanded for system optimization, because of the non-linear battery properties and the limited energy storage capacity. In this seminar, some recent exploration in battery management with a CPS approach will be presented, to improve battery management in the
