This paper develops a model for lithium-ion batteries under dynamic stress testing (DST) and federal urban driving schedule (FUDS) conditions that incorporates associated hysteresis characteristics of 18650-format lithium iron-phosphate batteries. Additionally, it introduces the adaptive sliding mode observer algorithm (ASMO) to achieve robust and swiftly accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries during electric vehicle duty cycles. The established simplified hysteresis model in this paper significantly enhances the fitting accuracy during charging and discharging processes, compensating for voltage deviations induced by hysteresis characteristics. The SOC estimation, even in the face of model parameter changes under complex working conditions during electric vehicle duty cycles, maintains high robustness by capitalizing on the easy convergence and parameter insensitivity of ASMO. Lastly, experiments conducted under different temperatures and FUDS and DST conditions validate that the SOC estimation of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, based on the adaptive sliding-mode observer and the simplified hysteresis model, exhibits enhanced robustness and faster convergence under complex working conditions and temperature variations during electric vehicle duty cycles.

Aiming at the electrical safety problem of a high-voltage lithium-ion battery system caused by an arc, and based on the establishment of a battery arc fault experimental platform, the evolution law of safety caused by an arc in the negative terminal of a battery system under different working conditions is discussed. On this basis, a battery arc evolution model based on magnetohydrodynamics is established to analyze the arc’s electro-thermal coupling characteristics to further obtain the distribution of the arc’s multi-physical field. The results show that the arc generated by the high-voltage grade battery pack will break down the cell’s shell and form a hole, resulting in electrolyte leakage. When the loop current is 10 A, the evolution law of arc voltage and current is basically the same under different supply voltages, charges, and discharges. The accuracy of the battery arc simulation model is verified by comparing the simulation with the experimental results. The research in this paper provides a theoretical basis for the electrical safety design of lithium-ion batteries caused by the arc, fills the gaps in the field of battery system arc simulation, and is of great significance for improving the safety performance of arc protection.

This paper investigates the polarization and heat generation characteristics of batteries under different ambient temperatures and discharge rates by means of using a coupled electric–thermal model. This study found that the largest percentage of polarization is ohmic polarization, followed by concentration polarization and electrochemical polarization. The values of the three types of polarization are generally small and stable under normal-temperature environments and low discharge rates. However, they increase significantly in low-temperature environments and at high discharge rates and continue to rise during the discharge process. Additionally, ohmic heat generation and polarization generation also increase significantly under these conditions. Reversible entropy heat is less sensitive to ambient temperature but increases significantly with the increase in the discharge rate. Ohmic heat generation and polarization heat generation contribute to the total heat generation of the battery at any ambient temperature, while reversible entropy heat only contributes to the total heat generation of the battery at the end of discharge.

Title: Optimal Design of a Centralized Air-Fed Thermal Management System for Lithium Battery Energy Storage Cabinets

Abstract: Air-cooled energy storage battery cabinets typically employ a split-type thermal management system, characterized by complex structures and redundant circuit wiring. To address these issues, a novel centralized air-cooled thermal management system was designed and optimized in this paper, along with a refinement of the air-cooling structure. The cooling performance of this air-cooled system was rigorously tested and validated using LiFePO4 batteries. Experimental data provided insights into the electrical and thermal characteristics of the batteries, facilitating the development of a thermal simulation model for a 64.5kWh LiFePO4 battery cabinet. Subsequently, a quantitative study was conducted on the impact of inlet airflow velocity and temperature on cooling performance. The optimization process began with the flow channel, employing a comparison simulation method with temperature uniformity as the optimization parameter. Results revealed that a module duct inlet featuring a rounded angle structure significantly enhanced temperature uniformity within the module. Compared to a right-angle duct, the module with the rounded-angle exhibited a reduction of 66.7% in maximum airflow velocity difference and 25.3% in maximum temperature difference. Furthermore, it was observed that for every 1℃ decrease in air temperature, the maximum temperature decreased by 0.51℃, and the temperature difference increased by approximately 0.24℃ on average. On average, for every 1m/s increase in airflow velocity, the maximum temperature of battery modules decreased by 0.61℃. However, the elevated airflow velocity also resulted in an augmented uneven distribution of the flow field, leading to increased temperature inconsistency.

Abstract: To address the issue of reduced model accuracy resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of lithium-ion batteries and the limited robustness of the state of charge (SOC) estimation method. This limitation leads to inadequate inhibition capabilities following changes in model parameters, thereby diminishing SOC estimation accuracy under the complex working conditions of variable temperature. This paper establishes a lithium-ion battery model that incorporates hysteresis characteristics. Additionally, it introduces the adaptive sliding mode observer algorithm (ASMO) to achieve robust and swiftly accurate estimation of the SOC of a lithium-ion battery. The established simplified hysteresis model in this paper significantly enhances the fitting accuracy during charging and discharging processes, compensating for voltage deviations induced by hysteresis characteristics. The SOC estimation, even in the face of model parameter changes under complex working conditions, maintains high robustness by capitalizing on the easy convergence and parameter insensitivity of ASMO. Lastly, experiments conducted under different temperatures and DST conditions validate that the SOC estimation of lithium-ion batteries, based on the adaptive sliding-mode observer and the simplified hysteresis model, exhibits enhanced robustness and faster convergence under complex working conditions and temperature variations.
