“…The wire mesh plates with high voidage values are preferred over the aluminum foams for a better filling of the pores during the phase change of the PCM. Zhang et al [91] study the influence of different concentrations of aluminum nitrite (AlN)-based CPCMs. The measurements showed that increasing the AlN mass fraction improved thermal conductivity from 1.48 W/mK to 4.331 W/mK at 50 • C, as well as the tensile strength, bending strength and impact strength.…”

In the current context of transition from the powertrains of cars equipped with internal combustion engines to powertrains based on electricity, there is a need to intensify studies and research related to the command-and-control systems of electric vehicles. One of the important systems in the construction of an electric vehicle is the thermal management system of the battery with the role of optimizing the operation of the battery in terms of performance and life. The article aims to critically analyze the studies and research conducted so far related to the type, design and operating principles of battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) used in the construction of various shaped Li-ion batteries, with focus on cooling technologies. The advantages and disadvantages of the individual components, as well as of the proposed BTM solutions, are extensively investigated, with regard also to the adaptability of these systems to the different Li-ion battery shapes. The information thus synthesized provides the necessary and important information and proposes future directions in research to those interested in this topic to be used to increase the efficiency of the thermal management systems of the battery (and with it the global efficiency of the electric vehicle).

“…Based on experiments performed by Rao [10], enhancing the thermal conductivity will enhance heat transfer rate from cell to PCM, which allows it to absorb and release heat in lesser time. In addition, experiments performed by Huang [11], Zhanga and Pradeep [12,13] indicates composite phase change materials perform in a better way due to their enhancement in thermal properties which are suitable for most working conditions.…”

Similar to an IC (Internal combustion) engine which requires cooling to operate at optimum temperature for better efficiency; electric vehicles do require a similar system. There are various methods used in the current market for thermal management of batteries, of these our paper focuses on phase change materials (PCM). This cooling strategy can store an enormous amount of heat produced inside a battery because of its high latent heat capability. A 3D model of the battery using the multi-scale multi-dimension model (MSMD) for battery simulation and Solidification/melting models were used to showcase the melting of PCM due to the heat generated from a cell. ANSYS fluent was used to carry out the simulations. These computations are carried out at different C-rate to find the time taken for a battery to discharge and to find the impact of C-rate on PCM performance. Besides, temperature data for the cell was recorded before and after PCM was involved to compare the temperature difference between various PCM's.

“…[10] PCM can absorb or release a large amount of latent heat during the melting or solidification process, thereby keeping the temperature of battery pack relatively constant. [11] The PCM-based passive BTMS was first proposed by Al Hallaj et al [12] Their simulation results showed that PCM can effectively store the heat generated by the battery and maintain the uniform temperature distribution. Chen et al [13] numerically compared the performance of air cooling and PCM cooling on the battery thermal states and cycle life.…”

To ensure the normal operation of a battery pack, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is required to control the temperature of batteries. Herein, the method using an artificial neural network (ANN) combined with a genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to optimize the thermal performance of air phase change material (PCM) cooling based BTMS. The ANN is applied to describe the relationship between BTMS parameters (inlet air velocity, inlet air temperature, PCM thickness, battery unit spacing, and discharge rate) and battery pack thermal characteristics. The results show that the PCM thickness and battery unit spacing have little effect on the battery temperature. Then, the optimal parameter combinations of BTMS are solved by GA with the goal of minimizing the maximum temperature. The maximum relative error between simulation and prediction is 0.484 °C, which is only 1.3835% of the simulated value. The optimal parameter combinations help to slow down the temperature rise of the battery pack and delay the phase transition of PCM. The results indicate that the developed model can accurately describe the relationship between the BTMS parameters and battery temperature, which provides a time‐saving and efficient method for the optimal design of BTMS.
