For comparison to the Li-ion battery, evaluating a thermal battery must consider additional variables. The first one is the temperature difference between the battery and its unit cell. Thermal batteries and their unit cells have a temperature difference that is caused by the thermal battery activation mechanism and its shape. The second variable is the electrochemical reaction steps. Most Li-ion batteries have a constant electrochemical reaction at the electrode, and battery voltage is affected when the concentration of Li ions is changed. However, a thermal battery has several steps in its electrochemical reaction, and each step has a different potential. In this study, we used unit cell discharge tests based on interpolating a 4D lookup table to estimate the performance of a thermal battery. From the test results, we derived an estimation algorithm by interpolating the table, which is queried from specified profile groups. As a result, we found less than a 5 percent difference between estimation and experiment at the 1.3 V cut-off time.

When lithium-ion batteries operate out of the proper temperature range, their performance can be significantly degraded and safety issues such as thermal runaway can occur. Therefore, battery thermal management systems are widely researched to maintain the temperature of Li-ion battery cells within the proper temperature range during the charging and discharging process. This study investigates the cooling performance and isothermal maintenance of cooling materials by measuring the surface temperature of a battery cell with or without cooling materials, such as silicone oil, thermal adhesive, and phase change materials during discharge process of battery by the experimental and numerical analysis. As a result of the experiment, the battery pack filled with phase change material showed a temperature reduction of 47.4 ℃ compared to the case of natural convection. It proves the advanced utility of the cooling unit using phase change material that is suitable for use in battery thermal management systems.

전기 자동차의 연료 소모량은 배터리 성능에 의존한다. 배터리의 성능은 작동온도에 민감하기 때문에, 배터리 온도 관리는 성능과 내구성을 보장한다. 특히, 배터리 팩에서의 모듈의 온도 분포는 냉각특성에 영향을 미친다. 이 연구는 모듈 사이의 온도 분포를 확인 할 수 있는 배터리 열적 모델링에 초점을 두었다. 본 연구의 배터리 모델은 NiMH 각형 모델이며, 10개의 모듈로 구성되어졌다. 배터리 열 모델은 열 발생, 채널을 통과하는 대류 열 전달 그리고 모듈 사이의 전도 열 전달로 구성되었다. 배터리 내에서 발생되는 열발생 모델은 충/방전 동안의 전기적인 저항열에 의해 계산되어 진다. 모델은 전 하이브리드 자동차의 운전 동안 적절한 열관리의 전략을 결정한다.

Thermal and electrochemical properties were discussed with tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)Phosphine (TTMPP) as a flame retradant additive for Li-ion battery. TTMPP showed excellent thermal stability with charged cathodes. Addition of 1 wt.% of the additive to the electrolyte improved the thermal stability without damaging the performance of the battery. The oxygne evolution reaction delayed nearly by $60^{\circ}C$. The capacity retention ratio in cycle life tests of the battery with 1 wt.% TTMPP was slightly improved comparing to the no additive cells.

Li-ion battery system is regarded as one of the most potent power sources for electrified power-trains. For the Li-ion battery system to be widely adopted in automotive applications, the performance, safety, and cycle life issues need to be properly addressed. These issues are closely related to the thermal management of battery system. Especially, the effective cooling module design is the core part for the novel battery thermal management system development. In this paper, an experimental approach was carried out as a basic part of comprehensive battery thermal management research. The main goal of this paper is to present a comparison of two cooling systems (air cooling and phase change material (PCM) based cooling) of the unit 18650 battery module. The temperature rise with different battery discharge rate (c-rate) was mainly investigated and analyzed for two types of battery cooling systems. It is expected that this study can properly contribute to providing basic insights into the design of robust battery thermal management system for vehicular applications.

고용량 Nickel/Metal hybride 전지의 온도 거동을 3차원 유한요소법 software인 NISA를 사용하여 해석하였다. 전지 내부의 열전도에는 미분형 에너지 수지식을, 외부 대기와의 접촉면은 대류 열전달 방식을 사용하였다. 전지 온도에 영향을 미치는 요소인 열발생량과 대류 열전달계수에 대한 실험을 행하였고, 이 결과로부터 일반식을 도출하였다. 금속 재질의 cooling fin을 사용하므로써 급속한 충전이나 방전시 야기될 수 있는 온도 상승을 상당 부분 방지할 수 있었다. 전지 외벽에 열전도도가 낮고 얇은 절연물질을 부착하여도 최고온도의 상승에 미치는 영향은 미미하였다.

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.

Heat generation and temperature of a battery is usually presented by an equation of current. This means that we need to adopt time domain calculation to obtain thermal characteristics of the battery. To avoid the complicated calculations using time domain, 'state of charge (SOC)' can be used as an independent variable. A SOC based calculation method is elucidated through the comparison between the calculated results and experimental results together. Experiments are carried for rapid resistive discharge of a large-capacitive lithium secondary battery to evaluate variations of cell potential, current and temperature. Calculations are performed based on open-circuit cell potential (SOC,T), internal resistance (SOC,T) and entropy (SOC) with specific heat capacity.

전기자동차(Electric Vehicle, EV)와 하이브리드 전기자동차(Hybrid Electric Vehicle, HEV)의 성능과 수명주기 비용은 배터리 팩에 좌우된다. 팩 내부의 비정상적인 온도분포는 전지간의 전기적인 불균형을 가져오고 팩의 성능을 떨어뜨리기 때문에 팩 내부의 온도 균일성은 EV와 HEV용 전지 팩의 최적 성능을 위한 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 EV와 HEV용 리튬이온전지 팩의 열적 거동을 예측하기 위해 삼차원 전산 모사를 하였다. 전지 팩의 열전도도는 각종 구성요소의 열전도 저항이 직렬과 병렬로 연결되어 있는 것으로 간주하였다. 셀에서의 열 발생량은 전지내부의 전기화학적 반응에 의한 반응열과 전류의 흐름과 내부저항에 의한 열을 고려하여 계산 하였다.

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.
