The document discusses the modeling and validation of lithium-ion batteries, focusing on the estimation of the initial state of charge (SOC) using experimental data and a second-order equivalent circuit model. It details the use of MATLAB Simulink for simulation and compares simulated results with measured data, achieving maximum relative errors of 0.015V and 2% for terminal voltage and SOC, respectively. The study emphasizes the importance of accurate battery management systems for effective application in various industries.
