Computational Analysis of Various Battery Packs Used in Electric Vehicles to Improvise Their Thermal Performance

Abstract

Renewable Energies have the capability to cut down the severe impacts of energy and environmental crisis. The lithium-ion battery is introduced in this sector as a solution with a promising role in storage sector on the grounds of high mass and volumetric energy density. Researchers have developed a battery thermal management system using phase change materials to improve electric vehicle performance. The simulation results showed that PCM cooling can reduce battery temperature fluctuations and increase efficiency. The study suggests that PCM cooling can significantly improve the performance of electric vehicles, despite the constraints of battery life, price, durability, and safety.
