Information

This model represents the charge/discharge mechanism of a battery.

This model two parameters η_CHA and η_DIS that represent the efficiency during the charge and discharge of the battery.

The model given the power P that should be provide or taken from the battery and compute the actual power flowing through the battery as

The actual power is then used to compute the variation of the state of charge SOC. The state of charge is the state variable of this model and is a real value between 0 and 1.

d SOC / dt = P_actual

Note:The input power P has to be controlled in order to avoid the state of charge SOC exceeding the range between 0 and 1.
