Project 1 - Simulating a BTMS

The simulations mainly focus on the battery cell and submodules to provide the fundamental concepts behind the heat dissipation in the cell and heat propagation throughout modelling with and without Battery thermal management systems (BTMS), and can be easily scaled up to represent the entire battery pack. A wide range simulations and experimentations from battery cell to the vehicle level is provided that can be utilized for simulating and testing several different thermal management systems, with the special focus on phase change materials. A case study is conducted to examine a BTMS both through numerical model and experimentation using ANSYS FLUENT numerical simulation tool, IPETRONIKS data acquisition hardware.All feasible BTMS solutions are simulated for a fast-charging load cycle (if needed also other load cycles can be used) to check the electrical and thermal load for every individual LIB in the module. If needed: Coupled electrical and thermal simulation of the BTMS on the pack level. Simulate the complete battery system.
