**Field(s) of activity for the internship**

**Topic of the internship: Space Li-Ion Cell and Battery Modelling and Simulations**
The aim of this opportunity is to perform battery simulations using our independent battery model in close cooperation with the energy storage engineers and the power management engineers in the team. Different mission scenario including the launch phase, failure cases, abusive conditions as well as end of life performance shall be simulated.
A further task will be to advance the battery models of the Energy Storage Section. Existing models shall be refined and optimized and new models for new cell types or battery configurations may have to be developed. These model developments will be supported by experimental testing at our own test facility.
You will draw up test plans and work closely with all the Section members and the test facility team to implement the tests.
The data will be assessed and the models built based on the experimental results.
During your internship, you will work on the following core activities:

- Simulation of Li-ion space batteries performance during different space mission scenarios;
- Refinement of cell and battery models and related documentation;
- Definition and testing of battery cells and batteries;
- Evaluation of test results and extraction of test parameters;
- Writing a comprehensive report and presenting the work at the end of the project.
The scope of work could be expanded to cover the following:

- Developing new Li-Ion cell model;
- Li-ion battery abuse testing in space-relevant conditions.
