NOVEL APPROACHES TO FAST OCV CHARACTERIZATION AND IMPROVED CAPACITY ESTIMATION IN LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
… we explore the idea of discharge and charge capacity of batteries. A traditional low-rate-OCV test consists of constant-current charging which results in a voltage drop based on the internal resistance and charging/discharging current. This thesis presents an approach to counteract this …

Secrets of the Aluminati: Bottleneck Assessment within an Aluminum Rolling Mill
This work demonstrates how heuristic-based capacity estimation techniques were used to determine the utilization of the preheat process of Commonwealth Rolled Products (CRP), an aluminum rolling mill. CRP wished to evaluate its processes to determine whether its present capacity was compatible with …
