“…Generally, BTMS can be categorized into internal and external systems and according to the used cooling medium. External systems remove the generated heat from the battery surface in different forms and geometries [9,10,76]. External BTMS using air cooling is the most traditional approach, studied intensively, and is widely adopted in commercial applications.…”

Heat generation and therefore thermal transport plays a critical role in ensuring performance, ageing and safety for lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Increased battery temperature is the most important ageing accelerator. Understanding and managing temperature and ageing for batteries in operation is thus a multiscale challenge, ranging from the micro/nanoscale within the single material layers to large, integrated LIB packs. This paper includes an extended literature survey of experimental studies on commercial cells investigating the capacity and performance degradation of LIB. It compares the degradation behavior in terms of the influence of operating conditions for different chemistries and cell sizes. A simple thermal model for linking some of these parameters together is presented as well. While the temperature appears to have a large impact on ageing acceleration above room temperature during cycling for all studied cells, the effect of SOC and C rate appear to be rather cell dependent.Through the application of new simulations, it is shown that during cell testing, the actual cell temperature can deviate severely from the reported temperature depending on the thermal management during testing and C rate. It is shown, that the battery lifetime reduction at high C rates can be for large parts due to an increase in temperature especially for high energy cells and poor cooling during cycling studies. Measuring and reporting the actual battery (surface) temperature allow for a proper interpretation of results and transferring results from laboratory experiments to real applications.

“…Many studies in the past three decades have been devoted to improving the understanding of the thermal behaviour of LIBs at cell and pack level. Experiments and numerical thermal simulations are the preferred methods in most studies [4][5][6][7][8], and several cooling methods have been proposed and researched [9][10][11][12].…”

“…In practice, a combination of these methods may be used (Figure 4). [31][32][33] Recent research has focused on delivering systems which are more compact and have higher heat conductivity and capacity. Circulating liquid coolant rather than air improves both heat conductivity and capacity and leads to greater uniformity of temperature throughout the battery pack.…”

“…The modified battery design such as such as changing the battery position, adding the guide plate, and entrance angle modification, but still this air cooling does not meet the requirements of electric vehicles [3,4]. The liquid or water cooling is better than the air cooling but includes complicated setup for circulation and that will increase the complexity and weight of the vehicle [5][6][7].…”

Analysis of a Battery Pack with a Phase Change Material for the Extreme Temperature Conditions of an Electrical Vehicle

Thermal management in an electric vehicle is important to extend the life of the battery. This paper is about modelling and analysis of a 6-kW battery module for improving the thermal performance of the lithium ion battery in electric vehicles with PCMs (phase change materials). For a battery thermal management system, we considered phase change materials such as RT15 (Rubitherm15), RT31, EG5 (Expanded Graphite5), and EG26 PCMs with different thermal properties. The ambient temperature conditions range considered was over 40 °C and below −10 °C, also tested on the hot and cool soaking conditions. The lithium polymer pouch single battery was designed and simulation analysis was performed with and without PCMs to enhance heat transfer rate. The simulation and experiment results on a single battery were satisfied to control the battery temperature within the safe operating conditions. Hence the proposed battery thermal management system (BTMS) was applied on a 6-kW battery pack. The design of the battery module was done in AUTOCAD and analysis was done in ANSYS CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software tool.
