At the end of the day, these are all controls problems, just like aerospace ,chemical, biomechanical, etc engineering controls problems. It just take a bit of leg work to get unfamiliar systems into the right system dynamics models so that one can implement generalized control theories (PID...

More or less. This is a post graduate university research project.

Looking at this, it seems that the current is passively controlled by whatever the voltage is over time, given a certain state of initial charge? And of course the voltage of the charging circuit would be controlled by typical boost or buck converter switching logic?

Good questions. This is likely a Li-Ion chemistry. Capacity is an open variable. We will likely collaborate with a battery company design custom batteries for the final product. The power scale is on the order of megawatts and will be coupled to an IC engine so it will be a true hybrid. This...

I understand what you are saying here. For a battery, there is probably a way to compute equivalent resistance, or impedance I imagine. It sounds like researching more about such concepts might lead me down the road I am interest (or contractually obligated) to go down.

I am currently in the research phase. Sorry if I ask anything that sounds remedial but I have 2 aerospace engineering degrees and no electric engineering degrees so I am taking some time to get my bearings on this subject matter. The information provided so far has given me something to think...

Hi. This is my first post. Thanks to all who give it a look. I am working on an application that has very stringent power output requirements. There is a rechargeable battery that I am trying to manage through a bi-directional boost/buck converter as is typical of many modern-day electric...
