Abstract A semi-analytical digital twin model of a 90 kW.h li-ion battery pack was developed to capture thermal behavior of the pack in a real-time environment. The solution uses reduced-order models that minimize compute cost/time yet are accurate in predicting real-world operation. The real-time heat generation rate in the battery pack is calculated using 2RC equivalent circuit model. A series of HPPC tests were conducted to calibrate the equivalent circuit model in order to accurately calculate heat generation rate as a function of SOC, temperature, current, charge/discharge mode and pulse duration. In the paper, live-sensor data was integrated into the digital twin system level model of the battery pack to create a real-time environment. The generated tool was utilized to monitor the real-time temperature of the battery pack remotely and have a predictive maintenance solution. The model results for heat generation rate, terminal voltage, and temperature were found to be consistent with the test data across a wide range of conditions. The generated model was used to accelerate battery pack design and development by enabling the evaluation of design feasibility and to conduct in-depth root causes analyses for various inputs and operating conditions, including initial SOC, temperature, coolant flow rate, different charge and discharge profiles. The resulting digital twin model provides additional data that cannot be measured offering the EV industry an opportunity to improve its safety record.

Abstract Heat generation measurements of the lithium-ion battery are crucial for the design of the battery thermal management system. Most previous work uses the accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) to test heat generation of batteries. However, utilizing ARC can only obtain heat generation of the battery operating under the adiabatic condition, deviating from common operation scenarios with heat dissipation. Besides, using ARC is difficult to measure heat generation of the high-rate operating battery because the battery temperature easily exceeds the maximum safety limit. To address these problems, we propose a novel method to obtain heat generation of cylindrical battery based on core and surface temperature measurements and select the 21700 cylindrical battery as the research object. Based on the method, total heat generation at 1C discharge rate under the natural convection air cooling condition in the environmental chamber is about 3.2 kJ, and the average heat generation rate is about 0.9 W. While these two results measured by ARC are about 2.2 kJ and 0.6 W. This gap also reflects that different battery temperature histories have significant impacts on heat generation. In addition, using our approach, total heat generation at 2C discharge rate measured in the environmental chamber is about 5.0 kJ, with the average heat generation rate being about 2.8 W. Heat generation results obtained by our method are approximate to the actual battery operation and have advantages in future applications.

Forced convection transient heat transfer coefficients have been measured for nitrogen gas flowing over a twisted heater due to exponentially increasing heat inputs (Q0exp(t/τ)). And then, the effect of heater configuration on transient heat transfer by a twisted heater has been investigated comparing to that of the plate heater. In the experiment, the platinum ribbon with a thickness of 0.1 mm and a width of 4.0 mm was used as a test heater. For heat transfer enhancements in single-phase flow, it was twisted at the central part of the heater with an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the upper part of the heater. The heat generation rate was exponentially increased with a function of Q0exp(t/τ). The gas flow velocity ranged from 1 to 4 m/s for the gas temperatures of 313K. The periods of heat generation rate ranged from 46 ms to 17 s. The surface temperature difference and heat flux increased exponentially as the heat generation rate increased with the exponential function. The heat transfer coefficients for twisted heater have been compared to those of the plate heater. They were 24 % higher than those of the plate one. The geometric effect (twisted effect) of heater in this study showed an enhancement on the heat transfer coefficient. It was considered that the heat transfer coefficients are affected by the change in the flow due to swirling flow on the twisted heater. Finally, the empirical correlations for quasi-steady-state heat transfer and transient one have been obtained based on the experimental data.
