Analysis of Thermal Performance of Various Battery Packs and Materials Used in Electric Vehicles: A Review

Abstract

Electric powered vehicle popularity gives us better option for reducing the hydrocarbon emissions for the clean environment and will help to minimizing the troposphere of ozone degradation. Evs that are powered by batteries are becoming more commonplace worldwide. A strong Battery Management System (BMS) is essential for the reliable and safe operation of batteries, which have been widely used in many large power applications, including EVs and hybrid EVs. Their optimal plan and the management are significant for safe and beneficial tasks. This review paper examined with about the oldest kind of battery-latest powered battery (Pb-acid battery) and the most recent innovation of battery, lithium-ion battery. The present paper deals about the recent improvement in three important areas like Battery pack shape, different battery material and thermal behaviour which covered main challenges for EVs operation.
