Abstract

Good thermal management is important for the safe, reliable and long-term operation of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This paper introduces an enhanced hybrid cooling system which combines numerous complementary cooling methods to solve some of the common issues in the existing thermal management solutions, such as thermal non uniformity, high power consumption, low flexibility, etc. The integrated actuating and sensing device could actively control and modulate the temperature of the battery according to the demand by utilizing the thermal stress-induced thermal variation mechanism, further improving the efficiency of the electrochemical processing by cell temperature regulation. Extensive analysis shows that the hybrid strategy of energy management is able to achieve optimal energy utilization, by enjoying the flexibility in both topology and control, for a set of battery pack architectures and operating conditions. More importantly, the well-balanced system also enhances safety and operation reliability, as well as providing the possibility of cost-effective and environmentally friendly EC-based EV battery management systems. This paper sets the benchmark for battery thermal management by presenting an advanced and versatile cooling concept, applicable to future electric cars.
