The document summarizes a two-branch parallel RC circuit Simulink model of a lithium polymer battery. The model parameters depend on temperature and state of charge, which are represented using 2D lookup tables. User-defined functions calculate open circuit voltage and internal resistance. A dedicated block autonomously detects charge/discharge transitions and resets the current integrator. Comparisons to experimental data show maximum errors of 3% for dynamic responses and 5% for static discharging responses.

2. The paper discusses the Simulink model of lithium polymer battery. Model
parameters are temperature and state of charge dependent. This model is two
branch (parallel R-C) model. 2-D Look-up table method is used to represent the
relation between model branch parameters and state of charge. Matlab user
defined function is used to calculate the open circuit voltage and internal dc
resistance. One whole block is dedicated to state of charge calculation. This block
is able to autonomously detect the transition from charge to discharge and vice
versa. Also if charging or discharging current stops flowing, it resets the current
integrator initial condition to the last state of charge calculated. Comparison
between experimental and model results showed about 3% maximum error in
dynamic (interval test) response and 5% error in static response of battery
discharging (until 10% state of charge is left in the battery).
