Abstract
Computational modelling and simulation for the charge-discharge characteristics of Lithium-ion batteries have been carried out. The battery system consists of a simplified 2-dimensional single cell for the modelling, in which the thermal modelling on the charge-discharge characteristics was conducted in the temperature range from 288 K through 318 K by using FEMLAB as an engineering PDE solver. While material parameters adopted in the present modelling were dependent on the system temperature, their thermal modelling were applied on the simulations of the charge-discharge period and the rate of transferring charges systematically. The resulting simulation shows that the cycle of the charge-discharge shorten itself by reducing the system temperature, regardless of the charge-discharge rates. In addition, the mass-transport phenomena of Lithium ion have been discussed in connection with the charge-discharge characteristics in the battery.
