Project 2 Thermal modeling of battery pack

For a 10 cell series lithium-ion battery model, simulate the thermal effects and compare life cycle performance at various temperatures, charge & discharge rates using MATLAB.

Solution:

Component Requirement:

10 cell series lithium-ion battery schematic diagram:

Circuit Diagram:

I am Testing the series batteries with the constant discharge current on different operating temperatures ranging from 300K to 390K.

Temperature Chart:

Formula: xK − 273.15 = y°C

K	degC
300	26.85
330	56.85
360	86.85
390	116.85

The result on 300K temperature:

The result on 330K temperature:

The result on 360K temperature:

The result on 390K temperature:

Comments:

K	degC	SoC%
300	26.85	14.6%
330	56.85	14.3%
360	86.85	7.14%
390	116.85	2.38%

As you can see the with the rise in temperature the SoC decreases which means that if we operate the battery at a high temperature than the rated temperature then the battery will discharge fast and

the life of the battery will decrease accordingly.
