1. Identification of Lithium-Ion Battery Parameter Variations Across Cells using Artificial IntelligenceTine Lubej, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: This thesis focuses on improving the simulation, estimation, and accuracy of parameter identification in lithium-ion battery models. The key objective was to enhance a previously developed program by transitioning it to an object-oriented design, making it more efficient, user-friendly, and modular. Additionally, efforts were made to optimize the parameter estimation process by upgrading the cost function used during simulations and integrating real-world battery measurement data, specifically for the LGM50 battery type.
The first step in the thesis involved reworking the codebase to an object-oriented structure, which improved not only the code’s clarity but also its extensibility and efficiency. With this change, the program was better suited for future improvements and became more accessible for other users through simplified installation procedures. This was accompanied by the implementation of unit testing to ensure the reliability of the code.
Experiments were conducted across a range of discharge rates (from 0.05C to 1C) to evaluate the performance of the model under different conditions. These tests helped to identify trends in how the model responded to changes in operational parameters. Additionally, a dynamic pulse test was performed, which allowed for more precise estimation of the parameters. The results of these tests demonstrated the robustness of the methodology, especially under dynamic conditions.
A major innovation introduced in this thesis was the development of a new cost function, which led to noticeable improvements in parameter estimation accuracy, particularly under high discharge rates and when estimating multiple parameters simultaneously. This new cost function proved especially effective in more complex scenarios, where the original cost function struggled to maintain the same level of accuracy.
The program’s capabilities were further extended by incorporating real experimental data. Using a constant discharge profile for the LGM50 battery, the results showed some challenges when dealing with real-world data, particularly due to issues in measurement or data preprocessing. Nonetheless, the model consistently produced solutions, although the accuracy was influenced by the quality of the input data.
The thesis concludes by highlighting the success of the improvements made, both in terms of the program’s structure and the precision of its estimations. However, it also emphasizes the importance of improving the quality of real-world data to fully leverage the model’s potential in practical applications. This work lays a foundation for future developments in battery modeling, providing a framework that is adaptable for further research and practical use.

2. Simulated and experimental HDEMG signals of biceps brachii muscle for analysis of motor unit mergingAleš Holobar, Jakob Škarabot, Dario Farina, 2024, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: This dataset contains a collection of simulated and experimental surface HDEMG recordings of the biceps brachii muscle during the isometric elbow flexion. Simulated data contains 50 recordings: 5 subjects and 5 excitation levels, each with and without added noise. Experimental data contains 16 recordings: 2 subjects with 4 excitation levels and 2 repetitions of each level. Synthetic data was simulated using the cylindrical volume conductor model [1] and the motor unit recruitment and firing modulation model proposed in [2]. Each recording is 20 seconds in length with 90 HDEMG channels sampled at 2048 Hz and is stored as a 2D matrix of raw EMG values in Matlab’s MAT format. Experimental surface EMG data was recorded on two volunteers during isometric contractions at constant force level. Each recording is 25 seconds in length with 64 HDEMG channels sampled at 2048 Hz and is also stored as a 2D matrix of raw EMG values in Matlab’s MAT format. The dataset is approximately 1.5 GB in size.

3. Vapor-liquid equilibrium of binary CO2-organic solvent systems (ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, para-xylene)Željko Knez, Mojca Škerget, Ljiljana Ilić, Christoph Lütge, 2008, original scientific article Abstract: High pressure vapor-liquid phase equilibrium data (P-T-x-y) for the binary mixtures of organic solvent (ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene) with CO2 have been measured at temperatures 313.2, 333.2, 353.2 K and pressures from 1 to 14 MPa using a static-analytic method. For the systemsethanol-CO2 and tetrahydrofuran-CO2, the experimental data at 313.2 and333.2 K are in a good agreement with literature data. The experimental results have been correlated by the Peng-Robinson equation of state in combination with van der Waals one fluid mixing rule with two adjustable parameters.
