The use of electrochemical energy storage systems in automotive applications also involves new
requirements for modeling these systems especially in terms of model depth and model quality.
Currently mainly simple application-oriented models are used to describe the physical behavior
of batteries. This book provides a step beyond of state-of-the-art modeling showing various
different approaches covering following aspects: system safety misuse behavior (crash thermal
runaway) battery state estimation and electrochemical modeling with the needed analysis (pre
post mortem). All this different approaches are developed to support the overall integration
process from a multidisciplinary point-of-view and depict their further enhancements to this
process.
