Summary: | Since power capabilities of solid polymer lithium batteries can only be delivered above 60 °C, the thermal management in electric-vehicle applications has to be carefully considered. Electro-thermal modelling of a thermally insulated 200 kg battery was performed, and electrochemical data were obtained from laboratory cell impedance measurements at 20 and 80 °C. Starting at 20 °C as initial working temperature, the battery reaches 40 °C after 150 s of discharge in a 0.5 Ω resistance. At 40 °C, the useful peak power is 20 kW. The energy expense for heating the battery from 20 to 40 °C is 1.4 kWh, corresponding to 6% of the energy available in the battery. After a stand-by period of 24 h, the temperature decreases from 80 to 50 °C, allowing efficient starting conditions. |
