Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process and related instructions of the system described above can refer to the corresponding process in the aforementioned method embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0032] A battery cell is the smallest energy storage unit of an energy storage system. The energy storage system in the present disclosure may include one or more battery packs, each of which includes multiple battery cells. The models of the battery cells included in each battery pack are usually the same, the models of the battery cells included in each energy storage system may all be the same, and the models of the battery cells in different battery packs may be different.

[0033] In addition to the battery cells, the battery pack may also include thermal management system components such as liquid cooling plates. In addition to the battery pack, the energy storage system may also include auxiliary components such as PCS, thermal management system, energy management system (EMS), and monitoring system.

[0034] The present disclosure greatly shortens the simulation time by using the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack and the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooling pipeline system. In addition, the present disclosure uses the electrochemical and thermal coupling methods of the battery cell to fit the heating rate of the battery cell, which can more accurately simulate the heat generation of the battery cell and facilitate accurate monitoring and prediction of the temperature of the energy storage system.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the thermal management simulation method of the energy storage system may include step S110, step S120 and step S130.

[0038] In step S110, the reduced-order models of all liquid-cooled battery packs in the energy storage system are obtained. The reduced-order models of each liquid-cooled battery pack are used to characterize the relationship between the inlet coolant flow rate and the inlet coolant temperature of the corresponding liquid-cooled battery pack and the whole cabin temperature data under the heat generation rate of the battery cell and the operating environment temperature of the battery cell. The reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack here can be a pre-established reduced-order model and can be obtained by simulation.

[0039] In addition, as an example, different liquid-cooled battery packs may have different reduced-order models. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and if the types of cells included in each liquid-cooled battery pack are the same, each liquid-cooled battery pack may have the same reduced-order model. The coolant here may be water, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0040] In addition, the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack disclosed in the present invention can be a linear model. Compared with the existing high-order simulation model using finite element output, the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack disclosed in the present invention can obtain the temperature of the entire cabin at a faster speed, thereby improving the efficiency of thermal management.

[0041] Here, the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack may be a reduced-order model at a certain cell heat generation rate and a certain cell operating environment temperature, and different cell heat generation rates and different cell operating environment temperatures may have different reduced-order models. As an example, a cell heat generation rate and a cell operating environment temperature may correspond to a reduced-order model of a liquid-cooled battery pack, or a certain range of cell heat generation rates and a certain range of cell operating environment temperatures may correspond to the same reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack, however, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0042] In addition, such a reduced-order model can be obtained for each liquid-cooled battery pack of the energy storage system. The reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack can characterize the relationship between the inlet coolant flow rate and the inlet coolant temperature of the liquid-cooled battery pack and the temperature data of the entire cabin under the heat generation rate of the battery cell and the operating environment temperature of the battery cell.

[0043] Here, the inlet coolant flow rate (for example, the inlet flow rate or the water inlet flow rate) refers to the flow rate of the coolant entering the cooling system of the liquid-cooled battery pack, which directly affects the ability of the coolant to remove the heat generated by the liquid-cooled battery pack, thereby affecting the temperature control effect of the liquid-cooled battery pack. The greater the flow rate, the better the cooling effect is generally; the inlet coolant temperature (for example, the water inlet temperature) refers to the temperature of the coolant when it enters the cooling system of the liquid-cooled battery pack. A lower water inlet temperature helps to better remove the heat generated by the liquid-cooled battery pack and keep the liquid-cooled battery pack operating within an appropriate temperature range.

[0044] During the simulation process, the inlet coolant flow rate and inlet coolant temperature are important boundary conditions that have a significant impact on the simulation results. The inlet coolant flow rate affects the speed at which the coolant passes through the liquid-cooled battery pack, which in turn affects the cooling effect. A higher flow rate usually means better cooling capacity. The inlet coolant temperature determines the initial temperature of the coolant, and a lower temperature is conducive to improving the cooling effect. When performing simulations, by changing the values ​​of these two parameters, the changes in the cell voltage and temperature in the liquid-cooled battery pack can be obtained.

[0045] As an example, a reduced-order model of a liquid-cooled battery pack can be obtained by simulation. For example, a three-dimensional simulation model of each liquid-cooled battery pack in the energy storage system can be established based on the layout of each liquid-cooled battery pack; based on the thermal physical parameters of the battery cells in each liquid-cooled battery pack, the heat generation rate of the battery cells, and the boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack, the three-dimensional simulation model of the corresponding liquid-cooled battery pack is simulated to obtain a reduced-order model of each liquid-cooled battery pack in the energy storage system.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 The step of obtaining a reduced-order model of a liquid-cooled battery pack by simulation may include step S210 and step S220.

[0047] In step S210, a three-dimensional thermal-fluid simulation is performed on the three-dimensional simulation model of the liquid-cooled battery pack using the thermal physical properties of the battery cells, the heat generation rate of the battery cells, and the boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack to obtain a temperature data set of the liquid-cooled battery pack under different boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack.

[0048] The three-dimensional model of the liquid-cooled battery pack can be established according to the layout of the liquid-cooled battery pack.

[0049] For example, the specific layout of the liquid-cooled battery pack can be determined first, including the size and shape of the battery pack, the arrangement of the cells in the battery pack, etc. As an example, the layout of the liquid-cooled battery pack can also include the design and direction of the liquid cooling pipeline. The flow direction of the coolant, the location of the pipeline, the diameter of the pipeline, and other parameters can be determined based on the layout of the battery pack and the liquid cooling pipeline. Then, combining the battery pack layout and the liquid cooling pipeline layout, use simulation software (for example, ANSYS, etc.) to establish a three-dimensional model of the liquid-cooled battery pack.

[0050] The heat generation rate of the battery cell, the boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack, and the thermal physical parameters of the battery cell obtained by simulation can be used to perform a three-dimensional thermal-fluid simulation on the three-dimensional simulation model of the liquid-cooled battery pack to obtain the temperature set under different boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack. At the same time, the battery cell voltage under different boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack can be obtained as needed.

[0051] As an example, the heat generation rate of the battery cell can be determined by the relevant thermal physical property parameters of the battery cell. In addition, the operating environment temperature of the battery cell can also be used as a simulation condition, and the specific operating environment temperature of the battery cell can be determined by monitoring. For example, the operating environment temperature of the battery cell can be obtained by a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor can be installed in the battery compartment to monitor the actual working environment temperature of the battery cell. The actual working environment temperature of the battery cell can be monitored by multiple sensors installed at different positions in the battery compartment.

[0052] In addition, the heat generation rate of the battery cell can be indirectly calculated by the parameters related to heat generation in the product identification. As an example, the heat generation rate of the battery cell can be determined by simulation. For example, the heat generation rate of the battery cell can be fitted by the battery cell electrochemical and thermal coupling method, thereby simulating the heat generation of the battery cell more accurately.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The thermal physical property parameters of the battery cell and the heat generation rate of the battery cell can be obtained through steps S410, S420, S430, S440, S450 and S460.

[0054] In step S410, the thermophysical parameters, electrochemical parameters and charge-discharge cycle temperature rise curve of the battery cells in the liquid-cooled battery pack are obtained.

[0055] The thermophysical parameters of the battery cell may include density, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, etc. These parameters can be obtained by thermophysical property testing. As an example, the density can usually be obtained by a balance weighing method, or by other methods such as the buoyancy method. The specific heat capacity can be measured by adiabatic calorimeter or differential scanning calorimetry, and the thermal conductivity can be measured by a steady-state method or a transient method. The specific test can be carried out using existing related equipment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The electrochemical parameters of a battery cell are parameters that describe the electrochemical reaction characteristics inside the battery. The electrochemical parameters of a battery cell may include conductivity, diffusion rate, diaphragm thickness, capacity of electrode active materials, electrode porosity, exchange current density, etc. The electrochemical parameters of a battery cell can all be obtained through testing.

[0057] The charge and discharge cycle temperature rise curve of the battery cell can be determined based on the data provided by the battery cell manufacturer. The battery cell performance data provided by the battery cell manufacturer may include the charge and discharge cycle temperature rise curve. These data are usually based on the typical use conditions of the battery cell, such as specific charge and discharge currents, temperature ranges, etc. In addition, the charge and discharge cycle temperature rise curve of the battery cell can also be obtained by testing, for example, collecting temperature data under different charge and discharge cycles. When collecting temperature, the corresponding voltage data can be obtained.

[0058] The thermal management simulation method disclosed in the present invention may not separately include the testing steps and / or collection steps described above, but may directly obtain and use data that has been tested or collected in advance (eg, thermophysical parameters, electrochemical parameters, and charge-discharge cycle temperature rise curves).

[0059] In step S420 , a three-dimensional thermal simulation is performed on the battery cell using the thermophysical property parameters to obtain temperature data of the battery cell.

[0060] For three-dimensional thermal simulation of battery cells, a three-dimensional model can be established in software (for example, COMSOL) according to the size of the battery cells. Then, the thermal property parameters such as density, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, etc. obtained in the thermal property test are input into the three-dimensional model for simulation to obtain the temperature data of the battery cells.

[0061] In step S430 , a one-dimensional electrochemical simulation is performed on the battery cell using the electrochemical parameters to obtain a heat generation rate of the battery cell.

[0062] The one-dimensional electrochemical simulation here may include the establishment and calculation and solution process of a one-dimensional electrochemical model. Specifically, the electrochemical process inside the battery cell can usually be simulated by establishing a one-dimensional electrochemical model along the length of the battery cell. The model can be meshed to ensure that the mesh is fine enough to capture the details of the electrochemical process. In addition, the one-dimensional electrochemical simulation process may also include physical field settings, boundary condition settings, and input of electrochemical parameters (for example, conductivity, diffusion rate, diaphragm thickness, capacity of electrode active materials, electrode porosity, and exchange current density, etc.).

[0063] In step S440 , an electrochemical-thermal coupling joint simulation is performed on the battery cell using the temperature data of the battery cell and the heat generation rate of the battery cell to obtain a temperature simulation curve of the battery cell.

[0064] Electrochemical-thermal coupling co-simulation means that the temperature of the 3D thermal model will affect the heat generation rate of the 1D electrochemical model, and the heat generation rate of the 1D electrochemical model will in turn affect the temperature of the 3D thermal model. Therefore, in the co-simulation, the temperature of the 3D thermal model is input into the 1D electrochemical model, and the heat generation rate obtained by the 1D electrochemical model is in turn input into the 3D thermal model, so as to achieve co-simulation, make the simulation process more precise, and obtain more accurate temperature data.

[0065] In step S450, the thermophysical parameters and the electrochemical parameters are adjusted so that the error between the temperature simulation curve obtained by the electrochemical-thermal coupling simulation and the charge-discharge cycle temperature rise curve is less than a second threshold.

[0066] The error between the temperature simulation curve and the charge and discharge cycle temperature rise curve can be a fitting error. For example, the temperature rise simulation curve can be fitted and compared with the temperature simulation curve obtained by the test, that is, the simulation results and the test results are fitted and compared. As an example, the least squares fitting method can be used to determine the fitting error. If the fitting error exceeds a preset threshold, the simulation parameters (for example, density, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, electrochemical parameters, at least one of them) can be adjusted until the fitting error is less than 5% or other preset thresholds. This value can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0067] In step S460, the thermophysical parameters corresponding to the adjusted final thermophysical parameters and the final electrochemical parameters and the heat generation rate are determined as the cell thermophysical parameters and the cell heat generation rate. Different types or models of cells can be simulated separately to obtain the heat generation rates of different types of cells.

[0068] The thermal physical parameters of the battery cell and the heat generation rate of the battery cell can also be measured by Figure 5 Refer to the steps shown. Figure 5 According to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the cell parameter fitting simulation step may include step S510, step S520, step S530, step S540, step S550, step S560, step S570, step S580, step S590 and step S591.

[0069] In step S510, the battery cell model is determined: first, the target battery cell model needs to be determined so that subsequent work can test and simulate the specific type of battery cell.

[0070] In step S520, a thermal property test of the battery cell is performed. A series of thermal property tests may be performed on the battery cell, for example, a density test, a specific heat capacity test, and a thermal conductivity test. As described above, the specific heat capacity may be measured by a calorimeter, the thermal conductivity may be measured using a heat flow meter, and the density may be measured using a balance.

[0071] In step S530, a three-dimensional thermal simulation of the battery cell is performed, and a three-dimensional thermal simulation model of the battery cell is constructed and run by using the acquired thermal physical property parameters, so as to simulate the temperature distribution of the battery cell under different working conditions.

[0072] In step S540, the electrochemical parameters of the positive and negative electrodes and the separator electrolyte of the battery cell are obtained. Specifically, as described above, the internal material properties of the battery cell are tested. The required electrochemical parameters can be obtained by performing electrochemical performance tests on the internal components of the battery cell (such as the positive electrode, negative electrode, separator and electrolyte).

[0073] In step S550, a one-dimensional electrochemical simulation is performed on the battery cell.

[0074] In step S560, an electrochemical-thermal coupling joint simulation of the battery cell is performed, and the electrochemical reaction and thermal effect can be considered simultaneously to establish an electrochemical-thermal coupling joint simulation model of the battery cell to more comprehensively understand the behavior of the battery cell.

[0075] In step S570, the voltage-temperature rise simulation curve (including the voltage simulation curve and the temperature simulation curve) of the battery cell is obtained. The voltage curve obtained by the test is relatively accurate, so the present disclosure can only obtain temperature data or temperature curve by simulation.

[0076] In step S580, the battery cell charge-discharge cycle temperature rise curve is obtained. As described above, the battery cell charge cycle temperature rise test can be performed, and specifically, the temperature change of the battery cell during the charge cycle can be recorded by experimental means to obtain the real battery cell temperature data.

[0077] In step S590, it is determined whether the error between the simulation result and the experimental data is less than a preset threshold value (e.g., 5%). As described above, if the error is greater than or equal to 5%, the simulation parameters (at least one of the thermophysical parameters and the electrochemical parameters) are adjusted. In addition, during the comparative verification process, only the temperature simulation data and the temperature test data may be verified without verifying the voltage data.

[0078] In step S591, if the error is less than 5%, the final battery cell thermal properties parameters, battery cell heat generation rate (for example, chronological heat generation rate), and voltage curve are determined. In other words, if the error is small, it means that the simulation model reflects the actual situation well, and these parameters can continue to be used to perform subsequent steps. When the fitting error is less than the preset threshold, the thermal properties parameters and electrochemical parameters at this time can be determined as the battery cell thermal properties parameters and the battery cell heat generation rate. The above-mentioned electrochemical-thermal coupling joint simulation can accurately determine the heat generation rate of the battery cell, which is conducive to accurately monitoring and predicting the temperature of the entire cabin of the energy storage system.

[0079] The specific process of the above-mentioned electrochemical-thermal coupling joint simulation is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The thermal management simulation method of the present disclosure can also use various existing simulation methods to determine the thermophysical parameters and the heat generation rate of the battery cell. In addition, although the various steps of the battery cell parameter fitting simulation step according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure are described in detail above (including the steps for obtaining the various data required for the battery cell parameter fitting), however, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can omit or merge some steps according to the needs and the deployment method of the thermal management simulation method, and can also add some steps.

[0080] Reference Figure 2 In step S220, a reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack is determined based on the temperature data, wherein the boundary conditions of the liquid-cooled battery pack include an inlet coolant temperature of the liquid-cooled battery pack (e.g., water inlet temperature) and an inlet coolant flow rate of the liquid-cooled battery pack (e.g., inlet flow rate).

[0081] As an example, when the input boundary conditions are: water inlet temperature T1, inlet flow rate q1, the simulation results will obtain the cell voltage V1 and the cell temperature set X1: Ta1, Tb1, ... Tx1. When the input boundary conditions are: water inlet temperature T2, inlet flow rate q2, the simulation results will obtain the cell voltage V2 and the cell temperature set X2: Ta2, Tb2, ... Tx2.

That is, different battery cell operating environment temperatures and / or different battery cell thermal physical property parameters can correspond to different reduced-order models of the liquid-cooled battery pack.

[0084] For details, please refer to Figure 6 According to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of generating the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack may include step S610, step S620, step S630, step S640 and step S650.

[0085] In step S610, the battery pack layout is determined. The specific structure and layout of each battery pack of the energy storage system may be determined, including the number of cells, arrangement, routing of cooling pipes, etc.

[0086] In step S620, three-dimensional thermal-fluid simulation modeling of the liquid-cooled battery pack is performed: a three-dimensional simulation model of the liquid-cooled battery pack is established based on the battery pack layout, pre-acquired thermal physical parameters of the battery cells and the heat generation rate of the battery cells, different battery pack boundary conditions (S1, S2...Sn), etc. The battery pack boundary conditions may include the flow rate and temperature of the inlet coolant of the liquid-cooled battery pack, etc. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the battery pack boundary conditions may also include the specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the coolant, etc.

[0087] In step S630, a three-dimensional thermal-fluid simulation of the liquid-cooled battery pack is performed. Specific steps may include meshing, boundary condition setting, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0088] In step S640, a battery pack temperature data set under different boundary conditions is obtained. That is, the temperature data set can be formed by simulating the temperature distribution of the battery pack under different boundary conditions.

[0089] In step S650, data training is performed on the data set. As an example, the data set may be input into a machine learning algorithm for training to generate a reduced-order model of a liquid-cooled battery pack. However, this is merely an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0090] In addition, although the steps for generating the reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure are described in detail above, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may omit, merge, or add some steps according to needs and the deployment method of the thermal management simulation method.

[0091] Reference Figure 1 In step S120, the heat generation rate of the battery cells in each liquid-cooled battery pack, the battery cell operating environment temperature, the inlet coolant flow rate and the inlet coolant temperature of each liquid-cooled battery pack are obtained.

[0092] As an example, the heat generation rate of the battery cells of each battery pack of the energy storage system may be the same, and the heat generation rate of the battery cells of the energy storage system may be obtained by detection. The specific process is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0093] The operating environment temperature of the battery cell can be detected by a temperature sensor installed in the battery compartment, or it can be read from the energy management system.

[0094] In step S130, the heat generation rate of the battery cell, the operating environment temperature of the battery cell, the inlet coolant flow rate and the inlet coolant temperature are input into the reduced-order model of the corresponding liquid-cooled battery pack to obtain the whole cabin temperature data of the energy storage system.

[0095] That is, the reduced-order model of the corresponding liquid-cooled battery pack can be determined or selected based on the actual heat generation rate of the battery cell and the temperature of the battery cell operating environment, and then the inlet coolant flow rate (e.g., water inlet flow rate) and the inlet coolant temperature (e.g., water inlet temperature) are input into the reduced-order model of the corresponding liquid-cooled battery pack, thereby obtaining the temperature of each liquid-cooled battery pack, where the temperature of each battery pack can be the temperature of a certain battery cell included therein, the highest temperature of a single battery cell, or the average temperature of all the battery cells included therein. Similarly, the temperature of the energy storage system (e.g., the temperature of the entire cabin) can be the temperature distribution at different locations inside the battery cabin, and can be determined based on the simulated temperature of each battery pack and / or temperature sensors set at different locations.

[0096] Reference Figure 3 According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the thermal management simulation method may further include step S310, step S320 and step S330.

[0097] In step S310, a three-dimensional model of the liquid cooling pipeline of the entire cabin is established according to the layout of the liquid cooling pipeline of the battery cabin of the energy storage system. As an example, the detailed layout of the liquid cooling pipeline in the battery cabin can be determined, such as the location, shape, diameter, length, connection method and other information of the pipeline, and then a three-dimensional model of the liquid cooling pipeline of the entire cabin can be created, and the three-dimensional model can include components such as the liquid cooling pipeline. As an example, the three-dimensional model of the liquid cooling pipeline can be created using computer-aided design software or other professional tools.

[0098] In step S320, a three-dimensional fluid simulation of the entire cabin liquid cooling pipeline is performed on the entire cabin liquid cooling pipeline three-dimensional model using different liquid cooling pipeline boundary conditions to obtain inlet coolant flow data under different liquid cooling pipeline boundary conditions. The liquid cooling pipeline boundary conditions here may include the total inlet coolant flow rate of the liquid cooling pipeline, and the inlet coolant flow data may include the inlet coolant flow rate.

[0099] As an example, after the model of the liquid cooling pipeline is established, fluid simulation is performed. When the boundary condition is input: total water inlet flow rate V1, the simulation result will obtain the inlet flow rate set A1, B1, C1, ... Z1 for each battery pack. When the boundary condition is input: total water inlet flow rate V2, the simulation result will obtain the inlet flow rate set A2, B2, C2, ... Z2 for each battery pack. Similarly, when the boundary condition is input: total water inlet flow rate Vn, the simulation result will obtain the inlet flow rate set An, Bn, Cn, ... Zn for each battery pack.

[0100] In step S330, a reduced-order model of the liquid cooling pipeline system is determined based on the inlet coolant flow data under different liquid cooling pipeline boundary conditions.

[0101] As an example, data training can be performed using data such as V1, A1, B1, C1, ... Z1, V2, A2, B2, C2, ... Z2, Vn, An, Bn, Cn, ... Zn to obtain a linear relationship between the total water inlet flow rate V and the inlet flow rate A, B, ... N of the battery pack (i.e., a reduced-order model of the liquid cooling pipeline system). This process can be performed in simulation software (e.g., ANSYS), or the reduced-order model of the liquid cooling pipeline system can be obtained through another artificial intelligence model training.

[0102] In addition, refer to Figure 7 According to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the steps of generating the reduced-order model of the liquid cooling pipeline system may include steps S710, S720, S730, S740 and S750.

[0103] In step S710, the layout of the liquid cooling pipeline in the battery compartment is determined: the specific position, direction and structure of the liquid cooling pipeline in the battery compartment can be determined first to facilitate subsequent simulation modeling.

[0104] In step S720, three-dimensional simulation modeling of the liquid cooling pipeline of the entire cabin is performed: three-dimensional simulation modeling can be performed based on the liquid cooling pipeline layout of the battery cabin and different liquid cooling pipeline boundary conditions S1, S2...Sn, and the three-dimensional simulation model may include liquid cooling pipelines, etc.

[0105] In step S730, a three-dimensional fluid simulation of the liquid cooling pipelines of the entire cabin is performed. Specifically, the three-dimensional fluid simulation of the liquid cooling pipelines of the entire cabin can be performed using simulation software such as COMSOL. The basic steps may include meshing, boundary condition setting, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0106] In step S740, a data set of flow rates at the water inlet of each battery pack under different boundary conditions is obtained, that is, the flow rate data at the water inlet of the battery pack under different boundary conditions is obtained through simulation.

[0107] In step S750, data training is performed on the data set. As an example, the data set can be input into a machine learning algorithm for training to generate a reduced-order model of the liquid cooling pipe system. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and other methods can also be used to obtain the reduced-order model of the liquid cooling pipe system.

[0108] It should be noted that the various models required for the thermal management simulation method of the present invention can be predetermined, and these models can be directly called when the thermal management method of the present invention is used for temperature detection and temperature prediction.

As an example, if the error exceeds 20%, a warning signal may be generated, indicating that there is an abnormality in the battery cell. If the error does not exceed 20% and is greater than 5%, the correction as described above may be performed, which will not be repeated here.

The predicted coolant outlet temperature here refers to the predicted inlet coolant temperature of each liquid-cooled battery pack. The thermal management strategy may include the temperature control method of the refrigeration system, for example, the activation sequence of the refrigeration system, the set temperature, etc. In addition, the total inlet coolant flow rate detected can be input into the reduced-order model of the cooling pipeline system to determine the inlet coolant flow value (for example, the inlet coolant flow rate) of each battery pack, and the corresponding reduced-order model of the liquid-cooled battery pack is determined based on the pre-obtained heat generation rate of the battery cell and the environmental boundary conditions (that is, the operating environment temperature of the battery cell).
