[MITEI Seed] Digital twins for efficient and reliable EV battery management: adaptive fast charging and fault prognostics

Description

Addressing cell-to-cell variability in battery packs is a key challenge for ensuring efficient and reliable electric vehicle (EV) operation. This project aims to develop digital twins (DTs) that accurately capture the inherent and evolving variability of cells within battery packs during EV operations. These DTs will enable an adaptive approach to optimize fast charging protocols and improve fault prognostics by managing cell-to-cell variability in real time. By making EVs more practical and appealing, this project will support the broader adoption of EVs, ultimately contributing to a long-term reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
