In this paper, a battery model for electric vehicle virtual platform was developed. A battery model consisted of a battery cell model and battery thermal management system. A battery cell model was developed based on Randles equivalent circuit model. Circuit parameters in the form of 3D map data was obtained by charge-discharge experiment of Li-Polymer battery in various temperature condition. The developed battery cell model was experimentally verified by comparing voltages. Thermal management system model was also developed using heat generator, heat transfer and convection model, and cooling fan. For verification of the developed battery model in vehicle level, the integrated battery model was applied in to EV(electric vehicle) virtual platform, and virtual driving simulation using UDDS velocity profile was conducted. The accuracy of the developed battery model has been verified by comparing the simulation results from EV platform with the experimental data.

The characteristic of the superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES) system is faster response, longer life time, more economical, and environment friendly than other uninterruptible power supply(UPS) using battery. So, the SMES system can be used to develop methods for improving power quality where a short interruption of power could lead to a long and costly shutdown. Recently, cryogen free SMES has developed using BSCCO(Bismuth Strontium Calcium Copper Oxide) wire. We fabricated and tested the conduction cooling system for the 600 kJ class HTS SMES. The experiment was accomplished for the simulation coils. The simulation coils were made of aluminium, it is equivalent to thermal mass of 600 kJ HTS SMES coil. The coil is cooled with two GM coolers through the copper conduction bar. In this paper, we report that the test results of cool-down and heat loads characteristics of the simulation coils. The developed conduction cooling system adapted to 600 kJ HTS SMES system and cope with the unexpected sudden heat impact, too.

Electrical equipments of nuclear power plant are divided into class 1E and non-class 1E. Electrical equipment and systems that are essential to emergency reactor shutdown, containment isolation, reactor core cooling, and containment and reactor heat removal, are classified as class 1E. batteries of nuclear power plant are divided into four channels, which are physically and electrically separate and independent. The battery bank of class 1E DC power system of the nuclear power plant use lead-acid batteries in present. The lead acid battery, which has a high energy density, is the most popular form of energy storage. Kt factor of lead-acid battery is used to determine battery size and it is one of calculatiing coefficient for capacity. this paper analyzes Kt factor of lead-acid battery for the DC power system of nuclear power plant. In addition, correlation between Kt parameter and peukert's exponent of lead-acid battery for nuclear plant are discussed. The analytical results contribute to optimize of determining size Lead-acid battery bank.

Global automobile manufacturers are developing electric vehicles (EVs) to eliminate the pollutant emissions from internal combustion vehicles and to minimize fossil fuel consumptions for the future generations. However, EVs have a disadvantage of shorter traveling distance than that of conventional vehicles. To answer this shortfall, more batteries are installed in the EV to satisfy the consumer expectation for the driving range. However, as the energy capacity of the battery mounted in the EV increases, the amount of heat generated by each cell also increases. Naturally, a better battery thermal management system (BTMS) is required to control the temperature of the cells efficiently because the appropriate thermal environment of the cells greatly affects the power output from the battery pack. Typically, the BTMS is divided into an active and a passive system depending on the energy usage of the thermal management system. Heat exchange materials usually include gas and liquid, semiconductor devices and phase change material (PCM). In this study, an application of PCM for a BTMS was investigated to maintain an optimal battery operating temperature range by utilizing characteristics of a PCM, which can accumulate large amounts of latent heat. The system was modeled using Dymola from Dassault Systems, a multi-physics simulation tool. In order to compare the relative performance, the BTMS with the PCM and without the PCM were modeled and the same battery charge/discharge scenarios were simulated. Number of analysis were conducted to compare the battery cooling performance between the model with the aluminum case and PCM and the model with the aluminum case only.

Purpose: To secure efficient thermal management technology for Li-ion batteries, the applicability of the system applied with single-phase immersion technology was checked through an experiment. Method: Using JH3 pouch cells produced by LG-Chem, Korea, A 14S2P module was manufactured and immersed in a vegetable-based cooling fluid produced by Cargill, USA, and then charged and discharged at a rate of 0.3C to 1C to check the heat distribution. Result: It was possible to manage and there was no change in the molecular structure of the immersion solution. Conclusion: It was confirmed that the immersion cooling method can be applied to the thermal management of Li-ion batteries.

Bimodal Tram developed by KRRI is driven by a series Hybrid propulsion system which has both the CNG engine, generator and LPB(Lithium Polymer Battery) pack. It has three driving modes; Hybrid mode, Engine mode and Battery mode. Even in case of Battery mode, LPB pack to get enough power to drive the vehicle only by itself onsists of 168 LPB cells(80Ah per lcell), 650V. It is important thing to manage LPB pack in a right way, which will extend the lifetime of LPB cells and operate in the hybrid mode effectively. This paper has shown the development of battery management system(12 BMS, 1 BMS per 14cells) to manage LPB pack which is connected with CAN(Controller Area Network) each other and measure the voltage, current, temperature and also control the cooling fan inside of LPB pack. Using the measured data, BMS can show the SOC(State of Charge), SOH(State of Health) and other status of LPB pack including of the cell balancing.

The availability of NMP, a solvent used in the manufacturing process of cathode material for lithium ion battery, depends on importation, and the price remains high because of the monopoly of BASF and ISP. For these reasons, most Lithium ion battery manufacturers reuse NMP after recovering it from the exhaust air in the drying process. In Korea, absorption method is mainly used for recovering NMP from the absorption tower using the hydrophilicity of NMP. However, this system has a few disadvantages, such as low purity (80％) of the recovered NMP and 100％ emission due to high water content of the treated gas. In this study, we develop a hybrid NMP recovery system by combining cooling condensation method with concentration method, by which it is possible to obtain an NMP recovery rate of 99.6％, and a high purity (96.1％) of the recovered NMP.

The global battery market is rapidly growing due to the development of vehicles(EV) and wireless electronic products. In particular logistics robots, which hielp to produce EVs, have attracted much interest in research in Korea Because logistics sites and factories operate continuously for 24 hours, the technology that can dramatically increase the operation time of the logistics equipment is rapidly developing, and various high-level technologies are required for the batteries used in. for example, logistics robots. These required technologies include those that enable rapid battery charging as well wireless charging to charge batteries while moving. The development of these technologies, however, result in increasing explosions and topical accidents involving rapid charging batteries These accidents due to the thermal shock caused by the heat generated during the charging of the battery cell.
