First Principle Based Four Dimensional Battery Degradation Model (4DM)
The First Principle Based Four Dimensional Battery Degradation Model (4DM) is computer simulation model for battery dynamics studies under different degradation and operating conditions. The 4DM is designed based on the physics of operation of the battery, i.e., the...
Co-Estimation Algorithm
Real-time estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is a crucial need in the growing fields of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and smart grid applications. The SOC estimation accuracy depends on the accuracy of the model used to describe...
High Temperature Embedded/Integrated Sensors for Remote Monitoring of Reactor and Fuel Cycle Systems (HiTEIS)
More than 10,000 sensors and detectors are usually adopted in a typical nuclear power plant (NPP) unit for measurements and controls of nuclear and non-nuclear processes, radiation monitoring, and other special applications including vibration measurements, hydrogen concentration monitoring, water conductivity and boric acid concentration measurement, or failed fuel detection, etc.In this project, we develop, test and validate high temperature (> 600°C) embedded/integrated sensors (HiTEIS) for wireless monitoring of temperature, vibration, water level, pressure and structural integrity.

Big Data based Adaptive Range Estimation
The remaining driving range of an electric vehicle (EV) is a complex function of various types of data with different formats that need to be extracted and collected from different sources using big data analytics. In this project, we Incorporate and analyze the ancillary power consumed mainly by the heating, ventilating, and air conditioner (HVAC) system in calculating the driving range of the vehicle using big data analysis techniques.
