• Real-Time Estimation of 2-D Temperature Distribution in Lithium-Ion Pouch Cells

  IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification · 2021 · 41 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  Thermal management is an integral part of battery management systems due to the effect of temperature on safety, lifetime, and efficiency of batteries. Therefore, a reliable real-time estimation algorithm is required to estimate the temperature distribution in battery cells based on available measurements. Temperature estimation in pouch-type cells is especially challenging due to the nonuniform distribution along length and breadth. Motivated by this issue, we study effective sensor placement a…

• A Machine Learning Approach toward Cyber-Physical Security of Battery Systems

  Journal of Dynamic Systems Measurement and Control · 2024-06-10 · 5 citations

  articleSenior author

  Abstract Modern battery systems exhibit a cyber-physical nature due to the extensive use of communication technologies in battery management. This makes modern cyber-physical battery systems vulnerable to cyber threats where an adversary can manipulate sensing and actuation signals to satisfy certain malicious objectives. In this work, we present a machine learning-based approach to enable resilience to adversarial attacks by detecting and estimating the attack and subsequently taking corrective…

• An Input-to-State Safety Approach Toward Thermal Fault-Tolerant Battery Cells

  IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology · 2024-01-01 · 4 citations

  articleSenior author

  Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells remain susceptible to various forms of failures that originate from several sources, including thermal abuse conditions. Many of these failures often result in thermal anomalies leading to runaway conditions. In order to address such critical issue, extensive research has been conducted on safer battery materials and mechanical designs. However, battery control systems can also play a crucial role in such endeavor. In this work, we focus on this issue and propo…

• Energy- and Safety-Aware Operation of Battery-Powered Autonomous Robots in Agriculture

  IEEE Transactions on AgriFood Electronics · 2024-02-02 · 4 citations

  articleSenior author

  To improve food security and environmental sustainability amid the global crisis of climate change and nutrition quality requirements as well as low-cost agricultural needs and electricity issues, particularly in developing countries like India, it is essential to combine autonomy and newer energy storage methods with traditional agriculture. Existing field robotic mechanisms, path planning methods, and battery energy management systems are designed independent of each other. To ensure energy ef…
