This work presents a comparative analysis of three different electric vehicle (EV) battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) for a 10 cylindrical lithium-ion battery module. The investigated BTMS configurations were phase change material (PCM), heat pipe (HP), and hybrid PCM-HP based BTMSs. The comparison was made based on the BTMS module temperature compared to the no cooling case. The study was conducted numerically using MATLAB/Simulink–Simscape. The comparison results showed that the HP BTMS configuration achieved the best performance considering module temperature and system size and complexity. The optimized HP BTMS configuration maintained the module temperature at 303.8 K which is a 13.3% improvement in temperature compared to the base case.

摘要

This work presents a comparative analysis of three different electric vehicle (EV) battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) for a 10 cylindrical lithium-ion battery module. The investigated BTMS configurations were phase change material (PCM), heat pipe (HP), and hybrid PCM-HP based BTMSs. The comparison was made based on the BTMS module temperature compared to the no cooling case. The study was conducted numerically using MATLAB/Simulink–Simscape. The comparison results showed that the HP BTMS configuration achieved the best performance considering module temperature and system size and complexity. The optimized HP BTMS configuration maintained the module temperature at 303.8 K which is a 13.3% improvement in temperature compared to the base case.
