A coolingZONE 14 technical webinar rebroadcast.

Batteries play a key role in the electrification of transportation. As electrochemical devices, battery performance, safety, and life depend on temperature. At high temperatures, although performance improves, batteries degrade faster and safety becomes a concern. At low temperatures, the battery capacity and resistance increases leading to lower energy and power capabilities. Therefore, thermal management of the battery pack becomes very important to achieve the intended performance and durability.

In order to design properly sized and cost-effective battery management (BTM) systems, appropriate experimental and simulations tools need to be used. In this Track, the National Renewable Energy Lab:

(1) Introduce electric vehicle batteries and why their thermal management is needed for sustained performance and longevity.
(2) Discuss the experimental and simulation tools available to design improved thermal management systems
