Abstract

This study is aiming to suggest the effective thermal management system design technologies for the high voltage and capacity battery system of the electricity driven vehicles and introduce the theoretical designing methods. In order to investigate the effective operation of the battery system for the electricity driven vehicles, the heat generation model for Li-ion battery system using the chemical reaction while charging and discharging was suggested and the thermal loads of the heat sources (air or liquid) for cooling and heating were calculated using energy balance. Especially, the design methods for the cooling and heating of the battery system for maintaining the optimum operation temperature were investigated under heating, cooling and generated heat (during charging and discharging) conditions. The battery thermal management system for the effective battery operation of the electricity driven vehicles was suggested reasonably depending on the variation of the season and operation conditions. In addition, at the same conditions under summer season, the cooling method using the liquid and active cooling technique showed a relatively high capacity, while cooling method using the passive cooling technique showed a relatively low capacity.

본 연구에서는 전기구동 자동차에 동력원으로 사용되는 고전압 및 고용량 배터리의 고효율 운전을 위하여 배터리 열관리 시스템 기술을 소개하고 이론적 설계 방법에 소개하고 한다. 이를 위하여 전기구동 자동차의 배터리로 많이 사용되는 리튬이온 배터리의 고효율 운전을 위한 발열 모델링을 제시하였고, 열원의 종류에 따른 냉방 및 난방 시스템 설계를 에너지 평형식을 이용하여 부하를 계산하였다. 특히, 리튬이온 배터리의 발열 모델링을 이용하여 충전 및 방전 시 발열 반응열과 혹서기 및 혹한기시 배터리 작동의 최적 온도를 유지하기 위한 냉방과 난방 설계 기술을 제시하였다. 전기구동 자동차 종류에 따라 배터리 사용 비중이 다르기 때문에 효율적인 배터리 열관리를 위하여 계절별 및 작동 모드별 부하에 따른 배터리 열관리 기술을 제안하였다. 또한, 냉방 부하가 가장 큰 여름철 동일 조건에서 외부 공기 온도가 같다고 가정하면 냉방 능력은 수랭식 냉매 방법이 가장 크며 공랭식 방법이 가장 작게 나타난다.
