A battery thermal management system controls the operating temperature of the battery by either dissipating heat when it is too hot or providing heat when it is too cold. Engineers use active, passive, or hybrid heat transfer solutions to modulate battery temperature in these systems.
or of how e ective a batterycooling system is. The thermal res stance is determined by creating a steady-stateloss in the battery module a d m rage current square wave to the module as shownin Figure 4.11, s
Using these blocks with real-time hardware, you can connect your battery simulations to real-world battery balancing hardware. HIL testing of battery systems enables you to replace time-consuming and expensive hardware tests with a real-time machine to test the battery thermal management system.
Engineers use active, passive, or hybrid heat transfer solutions to modulate battery temperature in these systems. Active solutions typically have a fan or pump pushing working fluid—such as air, water, or some other liquid—to reduce or increase battery temperature.
heatGenerationRate — Total battery heat generation rate. The block calculates the heat generation rate by adding up all resistive losses, reversible heating contribution, and the exothermic reaction heat if you enabled an exothermic fault. By default, this variable has units of Watts.
Engineers can use MATLAB ® and Simulink ® to design battery thermal management systems that ensure a battery pack delivers optimal performance safely in a variety of operating conditions.
