Thermomechanical Analysis of Electic Vehicle Battery Packs

Abstract

The Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) plays a crucial role in Electric Vehicles' (EVs) performance, safety, and longevity. The BTMS controls the battery temperature and prevents overheating or overcooling of the battery, which can lead to reduced efficiency, degradation, and even failure. The BTMS also ensures safe operation of the battery under various environmental conditions and driving scenarios. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in BTMS technology, including the use of advanced materials, improved cooling systems, and more refined control algorithms. These advancements have enabled EVs to achieve longer driving ranges, faster charging times, and improved overall performance. However, the design and implementation of a BTMS for EVs require careful consideration of various factors, such as the size and capacity of the battery, the operating conditions, and the desired performance targets. Moreover, the cost and complexity of the BTMS must be balanced against the benefits it provides. This abstract provides an overview of the design of BTMS in EVs, the recent advancements in BTMS technology, and the key factors that must be considered in the design and implementation of a BTMS for EVs.
