Overview
What you will study
The Batteries course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology is carried out mainly through lectures and a larger project. The project includes experimental and calculation tasks, and a smaller literature study which is presented orally and in a written report. The final grade is based on a written exam and the project.
For a passing grade, after completing the course, students must be able to:
- Describe the principle of operation, performance measures and characterisation methods for batteries.
- Explain and calculate how operating conditions, material choice and design affect the battery's properties.
- Discuss application areas and system aspects, compare and evaluate different battery technologies, and to inform about the technology.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Basic principles of electrochemical energy storage.
- Different types of batteries.
- Materials, design, properties and performance of different types of batteries.
- Modelling of battery characteristics.
- Experimental characterisation of batteries.
- Manufacturing of batteries.
- Battery control.
- Use of batteries for electromobility, in the power grid and for portable applications.
- System integration, socio-economic aspects, safety, recycling, circularity and sustainability.
