Experimental quantitative analysis of thermal performances of a prismatic hard-casing lithium-ion battery
To pinpoint the thermal behaviors of a prismatic lithium ion battery,a new quantitative analysis method of thermal compensation was proposed by combining theoretical analysis and experimental research.The relationship between the thermal performance of the battery and the state of charge,operating current and temperature was discussed.It was shown that the thermal performance and temperature rise of the battery decreased with the decrease of operating current and the increasing temperature,but the discharge efficiency increased.The heat generation rate of the battery had a quadratic nonlinear relationship with the operating current and increasing temperature.Compared with the traditional Bernardi model to determine the battery heat production rate,the"thermal compensation method"proposed in this study has a high accuracy of 94%,meanwhile has advantages of low cost,easy operation and market prospects,etc.
