Electric vehicles (EVs) face significant challenges in ensuring battery safety and longevity, particularly under fast charging and real-world driving conditions. This research investigates how advanced thermal management and modeling strategies can address these challenges to improve battery performance.
The primary focus of the study is on developing accurate models, such as the P2D (Pseudo-Two-Dimensional) model, to investigates critical electrochemical phenomena like solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth and lithium-ion plating under state-of-the-art charging methods and conditions, including pulse charge and Thermally Modulated Charging Protocols (TMCP). Compact models for advanced cells will also be designed to support computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for novel and realistic cooling systems. These cooling systems aim to optimize temperature control using real-world data from fast charging and driving cycles.
By combining innovative modeling techniques, thermal management strategies, and real-world validation, this research aims to enhance battery safety, extend lifespan, and enable fast charging. The outcomes will lead to safer, more reliable, and sustainable EV battery systems, supporting the global shift toward green mobility solutions and advancing the potential for widespread EV adoption.
