The setup primarily includes a temperature test chamber to control the environmental temperature, a battery test system to alter the discharging and charging currents, a data acquisition to record the electrical and thermal parameters, and computers to connect the test system and signals.
Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly employed for energy storage systems, yet their applications still face thermal instability and safety issues. This study aims to develop an efficient liquid-based thermal management system that optimizes heat transfer and minimizes system consumption under different operating conditions.
Based on this, Wei et al. designed a variable-temperature liquid cooling to modify the temperature homogeneity of power battery module at high temperature conditions. Results revealed that the maximum temperature difference of battery pack is reduced by 36.1 % at the initial stage of discharge.
If the capacity of the battery module is large, i.e., more numbers of LIBs in the module, the heat generation rate will be high. The capacity of the battery module was identified for each study by multiplying the capacity of each LIB by the number of LIBs in the considered design.
However, the intermittent nature of these energy sources also poses a challenge to maintain the reliable operation of electricity grid . In this context, battery energy storage system (BESSs) provide a viable approach to balance energy supply and storage, especially in climatic conditions where renewable energies fall short .
According to Lu et al., the ideal operating temperature range for LIBs is between 15 °C and 40 °C. Furthermore, the temperature differential between the cells in the battery pack causes an imbalance in the discharging phenomena, which eventually results in a loss in the capacity of the batteries.
Conclusions The practical adoption of large-capacity LIBs on energy storage system remains limited due to temperature sensitivity. Driven by this, the present work aims to explore the thermal management performance of a novel liquid-based BTMS, which consists of fifty-two 280 Ah LIBs and a baffled cold plate.
