The power battery is the only source of power for battery electric vehicles, and the safety of the battery pack box structure provides an important guarantee for the safe driving of battery electric vehicles. The battery pack box structure shall be of good shock resistance, impact resistance, and durability.
The proposed methodology can be used to analyze different battery pack configurations in a very simple way. Various layouts can be obtained quickly by changing a few parameters and analytical electro-thermal comparison is fast because the battery pack model is created on the basis of lumped parameter multidomain models.
Based on the above theoretical and experimental evaluations, a complete battery pack numerical model was developed and integrated with a 3D CAD model developed in SolidWorks, allowing easy evaluation of cell layout within the battery pack.
Conclusions This study developed a model-based methodology for use in the design of battery packs for automotive applications. This methodology is based on a multi-domain simulation approach to allow electric, thermal and geometric evaluations of different battery pack configurations, with particular reference to Li-NMC technology.
To systematically solve the key problems of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) such as “driving range anxiety, long battery charging time, and driving safety hazards”, China took the lead in putting forward a “system engineering-based technology system architecture for BEVs” and clarifying its connotation.
The battery pack box of the target vehicle is arranged under the chassis, below the floor of the passenger compartment, disassembled from the electric vehicle. The appearance structure of the box is shown in Fig. 3. After removing the upper cover, the battery pack module is presented, and the structure is shown in Fig. 4.
