Thermal Management Of Lithium-Ion Battery Modules For Electric Vehicles, Farid Bahiraei
Thermal Management Of Lithium-Ion Battery Modules For Electric Vehicles, Farid Bahiraei
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research is particularly focused on studying thermal management of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery modules in electric vehicles by using active, passive and hybrid active-passive methods. The thermal behavior prediction of batteries is performed by a novel electrochemical-thermal model. Different approaches such as single- and double-channel liquid cooling, pure passive by using phase change materials (PCM), and hybrid active-passive thermal management systems are investigated. Various cooling system configurations are examined to expand understanding of effect of each approach on the battery module thermal responses during a standard driving cycle. It is observed that the temperature distribution of Li-ion batteries is strongly …

New Ice Concept For Hybrid Application, Wenzhou Li
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Due to increasingly strict regulations on automobile CO2 emission around the world, this thesis focuses on the development of the control strategies of a plug-in series hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with the goal of minimizing CO2 emission. The thesis consists of three parts. The first target is to set up an electric vehicle (EV) model, which is the base of a plug-in series hybrid electric vehicle. The electric machine and battery are sized, and range capability and energy consumption are evaluated for a vehicle running in EV mode. The second objective is the assessment of the reference performance of the …
