Abstract:

In this study, the Li-ion batteries temperature increase during the discharge process was measured empirically and evaluated using numerical simulation. Moreover, the battery packs cooling using the water, air and water-nano composition fluids such as water-alumina, water-copper oxide, and water-gold was studied through numerical simulation. Accordingly, the battery cooling was simulated by CFD method and the results were compared with water and air coolants. The results indicated the significant effect of nanofluid on the battery packs cooling under the same conditions. The batteries mean temperature with 5C discharge rate with the cooling process with water-alumina was decreased to 305.31 K after 300-sec discharge (Initial temperature: 300 K). The mean temperature of batteries under the cooling process with water-copper oxide and water-gold nanofluid was decreased to 307.09 and 301.14 K, respectively. However, the temperature of the battery packs was respectively decreased to 362 and 313 K using air and water-fluid cooling. Another important point is that lithium-ion batteries are subject to spontaneous discharge at 60%, which confirms the results of the present research. In air cooling method, the discharge rate of batteries reached 61.5%, while other nanofluids (water, water-copper oxide, and water-alumina) decreased the discharge rate by 57% and water-gold nanofluid dropped the discharge rate to 53%.

Field Synergy Analysis and Optimization of the Thermal Behavior of Lithium Ion Battery Packs

In this study, a three dimensional (3D) modeling has been built for a lithium ion battery pack using the field synergy principle to obtain a better thermal distribution. In the model, the thermal behavior of the battery pack was studied by reducing the maximum temperature, improving the temperature uniformity and considering the difference between the maximum and maximum temperature of the batt...

Control of Film Growth in Lithium Ion Battery Packs via Switches

Recent advances in lithium ion battery modeling suggest degradation may be reduced by permitting unequal but controlled charging of individual cells, delayed until immediately prior to discharge. Hence, this paper compares anode-side film formation for a standard equalization scheme versus unequal charging through switches controlled by deterministic dynamic programming (DDP) and DDP-inspired a...

Online Reliable Peak Charge/Discharge Power Estimation of Series-Connected Lithium-Ion Battery Packs

The accurate peak power estimation of a battery pack is essential to the power-train control of electric vehicles (EVs). It helps to evaluate the maximum charge and discharge capability of the battery system, and thus to optimally control the power-train system to meet the requirement of acceleration, gradient climbing and regenerative braking while achieving a high energy efficiency. A novel o...

A Novel State of Charge Estimation Algorithm for Lithium-Ion Battery Packs of Electric Vehicles

This paper focuses on state of charge (SOC) estimation for the battery packs of electric vehicles (EVs). By modeling a battery based on the equivalent circuit model (ECM), the adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) method can be applied to estimate the battery cell SOC. By adaptively setting different weighed coefficients, a battery pack SOC estimation algorithm is established based on the sing...
