Developing high-energy and power-dense battery packs cost-effectively and sustainably is crucial for enhancing battery systems' performance, longevity, and safety while reducing environmental impact. There is no universal battery topology; the layout and shape significantly affect overall performance. Research focuses on automated creation of simulation models for various modular pack topologies, including thermal subsystems like cooling plate connections, to analyse electrical and thermal responses, essential for fast charging. This research includes single and multi-cell chemistries and considers thermal, safety, operational, and other system constraints to optimize cell-to-vehicle integration and electric vehicle performance. Applications range from cars, trucks, and buses to drones, planes, and ships, and is conducted by the Control Systems Technology group of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.| Categorie van impact | Research Topic/Theme (at group level) |
