Abstract:Modular design of battery pack for electric vehichle (EV) is an important things to consider. Because in modular battery pack, cost to manufacture can be reduced also easiness in handling. Modular battery pack also meant to be easily swapped between every modules. In this paper were presented the thermal analysis of modular battery pack that generate heat during charging or discharging process. Heat flux generated by the batteries will affect its surrounding thus increase the temperature of the batteries. Ther… Show more
“…The simulation of the conjugate heat transfer has been simplified by employing an equivalent thermal conductivity of cell that consists of various materials. It has been found that the maximum temperature and the temperature deviation of curved duct were lower than those of straight duct.J Raharjo et al [17]investigate the heat power generated by the cells, the effect on surrounding air, and heat generated by the current flow in the circuit. Simulation result were showing that the the thermal behavior of the module battery can be secured under its maximal operating condition.…”
Renewable Energies have the capability to cut down the severe impacts of energy and environmental crisis. The lithium-ion battery is introduced in this sector as a solution with a promising role in storage sector on the grounds of high mass and volumetric energy density. Researchers have developed a battery thermal management system using phase change materials to improve electric vehicle performance. The simulation results showed that PCM cooling can reduce battery temperature fluctuations and increase efficiency. The study suggests that PCM cooling can significantly improve the performance of electric vehicles, despite the constraints of battery life, price, durability, and safety.

“…Some studies have performed thermal analysis for electric vehicle batteries using simulation. For example, Raharjo et al [30] conducted a thermal analysis of modular battery by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to understand its thermal behavior, prevent overheating, and maintain battery life. Divakaran et al [31] performed finite element simulation to analyze 18,650 lithium-ion batteries' thermal behavior under two conditions: with and without cooling systems.…”
Temperature management for battery packs installed in electric vehicles is crucial to ensure that the battery works properly. For lithium-ion battery cells, the optimal operating temperature is in the range of 25 to 40 °C with a maximum temperature difference among battery cells of 5 °C. This work aimed to optimize lithium-ion battery packing design for electric vehicles to meet the optimal operating temperature using an air-cooling system by modifying the number of cooling fans and the inlet air temperature. A numerical model of 74 V and 2.31 kWh battery packing was simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method. The results showed that the temperature difference between the battery cells decreased with the increasing number of cooling fans; likewise, the mean temperature inside the battery pack decreased with the decreasing inlet air temperature. The optimization showed that the configuration of three cooling fans with 25 °C inlet air temperature gave the best performance with low power required. Even though the maximum temperature difference was still 15 °C, the configuration kept all battery cells inside the optimum temperature range. This finding is helpful to develop a standardized battery packing module and for engineers in designing low-cost battery packing for electric vehicles.
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.
