Lithium-Ion Battery Modeling: When Physics Joins Hands with Machine Learning

AbstractLithium-ion batteries impact numerous aspects of contemporary life and industry. They power billions of consumer electronics devices, and enable electrified transportation and the adoption of renewable energy to drive the world towards a decarbonized energy future. Dynamic modeling is of critical importance to ensure their operational safety, performance, and longevity. However, lithium-ion batteries involve a complex mix of electrochemical reactions and related phenomena, making it a substantial challenge to develop accurate and computationally efficient models. This talk will present our recent research results to overcome the challenge, and highlight the promise of integrating physics with machine learning to build battery models which have low complexity, high predictive accuracy, and broad applicability. The talk will further give an outlook into the future of battery modeling by showing some potential opportunities and challenges.About the speakerDr. Huazhen Fang is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kansas, where he joined in 2014 and has led the Information &amp; Smart Systems Laboratory. He received his Ph.D., M.Sc., and B.Eng. from the University of California, San Diego (Mechanical Engineering, 2014), University of Saskatchewan, Canada (Mechanical Engineering, 2009), and Northwestern Polytechnic University, China (Computer Science, 2006), respectively. His research interests lie in modeling, control, and estimation theory with application to energy management and robotics. He has received the 2019 National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Award and at the University of Kansas, the 2018 and 2019 Miller Scholar Award for Research Excellence and the 2016 Wesley G. Cramer Outstanding Mechanical Engineering Faculty Award. He currently serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Control Systems Letters, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, Information Sciences, and on the IEEE Control Systems Society Conference Editorial Board.
