The document discusses a reduced-order model for a lithium metal oxide cell that simplifies a complex 1D electrochemical model comprising ten coupled partial differential equations into a more manageable form with linear ordinary differential equations. This model reduction facilitates on-board control and allows for easier parameter estimation while maintaining physical relevance. Methods such as volume averaging and profile-based approximations are employed to achieve this simplification, which is essential for predicting cell voltage and internal field profiles during various charge and discharge cycles.
