Progress in battery technology and the charging process plays
a crucial role in mass adoption of electric vehicles. Thermal management
of the battery is a huge factor in the aspects of life,
safety, and efficiency (influencing the range) and optimizing it
can have a big impact on the above. Modeling and simulation
are very powerful tools to optimize performance and save costs.
In this workshop the moderator will describe thermal modelling
approach for single cell and modules. This will include CFD fluid
dynamic simulations utilizing with different fluid types, indirect
and direct cooling designs at single cell and module level, and
cells with different form factor.
• Importance of detailed description of model in accurately
predicting temperature of various battery cells and modules
during different charge rates
• And module design and fluid parameters
• Thermal fluid flow in battery module and modelling distribution
of fluid flow and of temperature gradients
