Problems solved by technology

However, the known battery computer thermal simulation methods are completely different and independent to the research of the battery cell and the lithium-ion battery pack system: for the battery cell, in order to obtain the specific thermal characteristics of the internal structure of the battery cell, it is necessary to establish As detailed as possible the structural details of the battery cell, and estimate the approximate working environment of the battery cell, and add the boundary conditions required for the thermal analysis of the battery cell, such as the ambient temperature and the convective heat transfer coefficient and heat flux between the cell and the environment or heat flux density, etc., but for the battery cells that are grouped into a lithium-ion battery pack system and work in specific occasions, due to the complexity of the structure, working conditions, and internal and external environments of the lithium-ion battery pack system, it is often impossible to simply pass the overall Estimate and accurately give the heat transfer information between a certain battery cell and the environment; while the thermal simulation method at the system level of lithium-ion battery packs mainly focuses on how to reasonably arrange the battery cells and how to optimize the cooling medium flow path Design and how to adjust the working parameters of the cooling system to control the temperature range of the lithium-ion battery pack system and improve the temperature uniformity among the cells, but limited by the complexity of modeling and the number of meshes, the battery cells are often greatly simplified , and the physical parameters such as the density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of various materials that make up the battery cell are mass-averaged, so the calculation results cannot provide rich and accurate thermal data for the battery cell in the lithium-ion battery pack system. feature

Especially when the capacity and size of a lithium-ion battery cell are large, there are dozens or even hundreds of layers of positive and negative electrodes and separators inside the battery, and there are also large differences in the physical parameters of various materials. There is a large temperature difference between the pole piece inside the process battery and the surface of the battery case, and the calculation results of the thermal simulation analysis of the battery pack system based on the simplified modeling of the battery cell cannot simulate the thermal characteristics inside the battery well.
