Because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEV and EV), average temperature in a battery cell is the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack. Furthermore, fast charging technology is required to reduce battery charging time. Since battery pack performance and lifespan are deteriorated due to the heat of cells and electronic components caused by fast charging, an effective cooling system is required to reduce performance deterioration. In this study, a cooling system and module design applied to a pouch-type for fast charging battery cell are investigated, and the cooling performance that can maximize the efficiency of the battery was analyzed. The result shows that the vapor chamber cooling system has better cooling performance, the temperature drop in the module was 5.82 ℃ compared with aluminum cooling plates.

Therefore, with this development assignment we'd like to develop the hybrid system combining 800W DMFC (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) and 1.6kW of Lithium secondary battery pack which can be applied to the most common small cart. a scooter, to secure the development capability of hundreds of Watts DMFC, the high-capacity Lithium secondary battery pack, the technology of BMS (Battery Management System) and the development technology of hybrid system. DMFC, in fact, has lower energy efficiency than PEMFC (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell); however, it has several advantages in terms of fuel storage and use. It is pretty easy to be stored and used without any additional colling and heating devices because of its insensitive liquid methanol to temperature. In conclusion, DMFC system is the most suitable device for small mobile vehicles.

Average temperature and temperature uniformity in a battery cell are the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEVs and EVs) because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack. Thus, liquid cooling system is generally applied for the HEV/EV battery pack. The liquid cooling system is made of multiple cooling plates with coolant flow paths. The cooling plates are inserted between the battery cells to reject the heat from batteries to coolant. In this study, the cooling plate with U-shaped coolant flow paths is considered to evaluate the effects of coolant flow condition on the cooling performance of the system. The counter flow and parallel flow set up is compared and the effect of flow rate is evaluated using CFD tool (FLUENT). The number of counter-flows and flow rate are changed and the effect on the cooling performance including average temperature, differential temperature, and standard deviation of temperature are investigated. The results show that the parallel flow has better cooling performance compared with counter flow and it is also found that the coolant flow rate should be chosen with the consideration of trade-off between the cooling performance and pressure drop.

The series hybrid propulsion system in bimodal tram consists of CNG engine, generator, inverter, motor and battery as main components. Among them, battery is very important thing to make a hybrid bimodal tram more efficient in driving. Battery pack is composed of 168 LPB(lithium polymer battery) cells, 650Vdc-300A. LPB should be treated with a good consideration in both temperature and overvoltage. This paper had analyzed and investigated the thermal flow and distribution of LPB module(l4 LPB cells) and Pack in simulated environments by commercial thermal analysis tool.

In this paper, a high speed charging algorithm that charges Ni-Cd secondary pack battery within 40 minutes is implementation. Proposed algorithm is that suppling 4 stage pulse instead of constant voltage or current. That makes charge time short, temperature low, and extends battery life. Experimental results show that secondary pack battery is charged within 40 minutes and achieved life time about 2000 cycle.

The battery pack, a main component of NEV(Neighborhood Electric Vehicle), needs cooling system when it is charging or discharging to prevent the degradation of the battery charging efficiency. The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of cooling methods, changing positions of inlet and outlet and changing area ratios of inlet and outlet. It has been observed that in the point of uniform cooling suction from the exit side is more efficient than blowing from the inlet. And there is a suitable inlet/outlet area ratio in maximizing the mass flow rate. The numerical analyse using a commercial code STAR-CCM+ version 4.02 were used for the study.

배터리 기술 고도화 및 기술표준 강화에 따라 완성차 제조사와 배터리 업계간 활발한 협업이이어질 전망이다. 또한 기존 배터리 제조사들이 활발한 증설 및 밸류 체인 확장을 통한 기술가격 경쟁력 격차 유지에 적극적으로 나서고 있어, 향후 시장 주도권 경쟁이 가속화될 것으로 전망된다. 배터리의 온도 상승은 배터리 효율을 낮추는 원인이며, 배터리 온도 제어가 전기자동차 차량의 전체 성능 향상에 중요한 부분이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 실제 Battery Pack 실험 전 열유동해석을 통해 배터리온도 상승추이 및 냉각효율 검증을 진행하는 과정에서 발생하는 과도한 시간 소요를 줄이기 위해 Machine Learning 을 활용하여 검증 효율 및 설계 효율을 높이는데 그 목적이 있으며, CFD를 활용한 배터리 효율 최적화 설계를 하는 기존 모델 대비 30%~50%정도의 성능향상을 예측할 수 있다.

Lithium-ion batteries have been designed and used as battery packs with series and parallel combinations that are suitable for use. However, due to its internal electrochemical properties, producing the battery's condition at the same value is impossible for individual cells. In addition, the management of characteristic deviations between individual cells is essential for the safe and efficient use of batteries as aging progresses with the use of batteries. In this work, we propose a method to manage deviation properties and detect abnormal behavior in the configuration of a combined battery pack of these multiple battery cells. The proposed method can separate and detect probabilistic low-frequency information according to statistical information based on Z-score. The verification of the proposed algorithm was validated using experimental results from 10S3P battery packs, and the implemented algorithm based on Z-score was validated as a way to effectively manage multiple individual cell information.

As mobile devices evolve and digital convergence trend is here to stay, mobile phones are built with multiple functions including cameras, MP3s, TVs and game consoles. As a consequence, such multi-functional mobile phones come to spend more power, facilitating development of next-generation ultra-capacity lithium ion battery. In addition, environmental regulations and rising oil prices cause demand for hybrid cars to keep rising. Accordingly, more and more attention is being paid to medium and large batteries and more efforts are being made to realize lower battery prices, higher outputs and stability. This study presented a patent technology related to the lithium ion battery packing that allows reducing processes related, increasing productivity and recycling parts other than the body. The lithium ion battery pack to which protection circuits are elastically attached provides short circuit protection for the circuit and the body and makes electric connection of the circuit and the body easier.
