Modelling and Simulation of Faults in a Battery System

MathWorks will demonstrate how to model and simulate faults in battery systems. They will
showcase:

• How to inject faults in a battery model including additional resistance fault, internal short fault, and exothermic reactions.
• How to characterise the thermal runaway behaviour of a battery cell by simulating an accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) test.
• How the battery management system (BMS) responds under fault conditions.
• How to conduct a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) per industry safety standards while leveraging simulation results

Attendees will learn how to:

• Inject and simulate faults in a battery model
• Characterise the thermal runaway behaviour of a battery cell
• Detect fault conditions using an executable flow chart
• Conduct a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) of a battery management system (BMS) while leveraging simulation results
