Development of a thermal simulation and testing model for a superior lithium-ion-polymer battery

Abstract

The battery thermal management is a very important factor which can affect the batteries performance and life span. This paper proposes a method for the thermal behaviour prediction of an energy storage device. For this, a superior lithium ion polymer battery was utilised, battery that is more often used in automotive domain due to its high energy and power density. The results obtained from the simulation model have been compared with the experimental results of the battery.
