Abstract Aiming at the uneven heat generation in various parts of the electric vehicle lithium battery pack during the discharge process, the heat generation mechanism is studied, and the lithium battery catalytic performance model is established to obtain the current density and heat generation rate distribution law of the lithium battery cell on the cell. The thermal model can simulate the thermal behavior of the battery under application conditions. Study the laws of battery heat production, heat transfer, and heat dissipation, and calculate the temperature changes inside and on the battery and the temperature field information in real time to provide a basis for the design and optimization of the battery and battery pack thermal management system. The simulation results show that the established model can predict the heating distribution and temperature field of the internal layered structure of the lithium-ion battery, which is helpful for the subsequent analysis of key influencing factors.

AbstractAging diagnosis of batteries is essential to ensure that the energy storage systems operate within a safe region. This paper proposes a novel cell to pack health and lifetime prognostics method based on the combination of transferred deep learning and Gaussian process regression. General health indicators are extracted from the partial discharge process. The sequential degradation model of the health indicator is developed based on a deep learning framework and is migrated for the battery pack degradation prediction. The future degraded capacities of both battery pack and each battery cell are probabilistically predicted to provide a comprehensive lifetime prognostic. Besides, only a few separate battery cells in the source domain and early data of battery packs in the target domain are needed for model construction. Experimental results show that the lifetime prediction errors are less than 25 cycles for the battery pack, even with only 50 cycles for model fine-tuning, which can save about 90% time for the aging experiment. Thus, it largely reduces the time and labor for battery pack investigation. The predicted capacity trends of the battery cells connected in the battery pack accurately reflect the actual degradation of each battery cell, which can reveal the weakest cell for maintenance in advance.

Abstract A parametric analysis has been conducted for Phase Change Material-Air cooled battery pack. The system is composed of 26650 lithium-ion LiFePO4 batteries enclosed by PCM. 1-D thermal model for the PCM domain is developed using the Enthalpy method. The finite volume method is employed to solve the energy equation for both cell and PCM domain. The developed computational algorithm has been validated as a result of the simulations for the same conditions with the literature. The discharge process of the batteries has been investigated for 2C, 3C, and 5C rates. Thermal analyses have been performed for passive (natural convection) and active cooling (forced convection). It is aimed to keep the temperature of the battery cell under critical levels. A parametric investigation for crucial parameters like; PCM layer thickness, the thermal conductivity of the PCM, the arrangement of the batteries has been performed. Simulations have been conducted for the constant air velocity and the pumping power. Thanks to the constant pumping power analysis, thermally best-performing configuration has been sought by eliminating the hydrodynamic effect.

For the power battery of electric vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, there is no perfect and comprehensive detection system and management system in the production and use links. By analyzing the working principle, structure and electrochemical characteristics of lithium-ion battery, the heat generation mechanism of lithium-ion battery was studied. In this paper, the factors that affect the temperature characteristics of Li ion battery are described, and the corresponding relationship between the temperature rise of the battery and the ambient temperature is established. At the same time, the optimal temperature range of the battery pack discharge efficiency is determined. In this paper, the thermal effect model and heat generation rate model of lithium-ion battery are established, and then the thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, density and other parameters of the thermal model are calculated. Finally, the initial and boundary conditions of the thermal model are determined, the simulation of heat generation temperature field is realized, and the temperature distribution of the battery after heat generation is obtained. In this paper, the flow mode of air is analyzed, and the fluid structure coupling model of battery air is established. Finally, the thermal field of the battery pack is simulated by setting the solver mode and boundary conditions, which makes a theoretical analysis for the preliminary design of the temperature control battery box. The test results show that the method proposed in this paper can meet the technical requirements of power lithium battery heating management of pure electric vehicles..

Lithium-ion batteries are being increasingly used as the main energy storage devices in modern mobile applications, including modern spacecrafts, satellites, and electric vehicles, in which consistent and severe vibrations exist. As the lithium-ion battery market share grows, so must our understanding of the effect of mechanical vibrations and shocks on the electrical performance and mechanical properties of such batteries. Only a few recent studies investigated the effect of vibrations on the degradation and fatigue of battery cell materials as well as the effect of vibrations on the battery pack structure. This review focused on the recent progress in determining the effect of dynamic loads and vibrations on lithium-ion batteries to advance the understanding of lithium-ion battery systems. Theoretical, computational, and experimental studies conducted in both academia and industry in the past few years are reviewed herein. Although the effect of dynamic loads and random vibrations on the mechanical behavior of battery pack structures has been investigated and the correlation between vibration and the battery cell electrical performance has been determined to support the development of more robust electrical systems, it is still necessary to clarify the mechanical degradation mechanisms that affect the electrical performance and safety of battery cells.

This paper explores the novel concept that a hybrid battery pack containing both lithium-ion (Li-ion) and vanadium redox flow (VRF) cells can self-balance automatically, by design. The proposed hybrid pack connects the Li-ion and VRF cells in parallel to form “hybrid cells”, then connects these hybrid cells into series strings. The basic idea is to exploit the recirculation and mixing of the VRF electrolytes to establish an internal feedback loop. This feedback loop attenuates state of charge (SOC) imbalances in both the VRF battery and the lithium-ion cells connected to it. This self-balancing occurs automatically, by design. This stands in sharp contrast to today’s battery pack balancing approaches, all of which require either (passive/active) power electronics or an external photovoltaic source to balance battery cell SOCs. The paper demonstrates this self-balancing property using a physics-based simulation of the proposed hybrid pack. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work represents the first report in the literature of self-balancing “by design” in electrochemical battery packs.

The key challenge in developing a physico-chemical model is the model parameterization. The paper presents a strategic model parameterization procedure, parameter values, and a developed model that allows simulating electrochemical and thermal behavior of a commercial lithium-ion battery with high accuracy. Steps taken are the analysis of geometry details by opening a battery cell under argon atmosphere, building upon reference data of similar material compositions, incorporating cell balancing by a quasi-open-circuit-voltage experiment, and adapting the battery models reaction kinetics behavior by comparing experiment and simulation of an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and hybrid pulse power characterization. The electrochemical-thermal coupled model is established based on COMSOL Multiphysics® platform (Stockholm, Sweden) and validated via experimental methods. The parameterized model was adopted to analyze the heat dissipation sources based on the internal states of the battery at different operation modes. Simulation in the field of thermal management for lithium-ion batteries highly depends on state of charge-related thermal issues of the incorporated cell composition. The electrode balancing is an essential step to be performed in order to address the internal battery states realistically. The individual contribution of the cell components heat dissipation has significant influence on the temperature distribution pattern based on the kinetic and thermodynamic properties.

Abstract We consider the mathematical treatment of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations based on a model, proposed in 1972 by J. Newman, in which the coupling between the Lithium concentration, the phase potentials and temperature in the electrodes and the electrolyte of a Lithium battery cell is considered. After introducing some functional spaces well-adapted to our framework, we obtain some rigorous results showing the well-posedness of the system, first for some short time and then, by considering some hypothesis on the nonlinearities, globally in time. As far as we know, this is the first result in the literature proving existence in time of the full Newman model, which follows previous results by the third author in 2016 regarding a simplified case.

The aim of this work is to age commercial battery cells far beyond their expected lifetime. There is a gap in the literature regarding run to failure tests of lithium-ion batteries that this work intends to address. Therefore, twenty new Samsung ICR18650-26F cells were aged as a battery pack in a run to failure test. Aging took place with a constant load current and a constant charge current to accelerate capacity decrease. Important aging parameters such as capacity and internal resistance were measured at each cycle to monitor their development. The end of the test was initiated by the explosion of a single battery cell, after which the battery pack was disassembled and all parameters of the still intact single cells were measured. The distribution of all measured capacities and internal resistances is displayed graphically. This clearly shows the influence of the exploded cell on the cells in its immediate vicinity. Selected cells from this area of the battery were subjected to computed tomography (CT) to detect internal defects. The X-rays taken with computed tomography showed clear damage within the jelly roll, as well as the triggered safety mechanisms.
