A perturbation approach for consistent initialization of index-1 explicit differential-algebraic equations arising from battery model simulations

Estimation of consistent initial conditions is very crucial for the successful solution of differential–algebraic equation (DAE) systems that arise in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper, an efficient perturbation approach for initialization of DAE systems of index-1 is proposed and implemented for DAE models governing batteries. In addition, different existing solvers are compared for consistent initialization of DAE systems. The proposed approach does not necessarily
