Prasad thesis
The hoverboard design includes two hub motors driven by a battery pack, with
acceleration and deceleration controlled by a handlebar [2].
The development of the motor driver involves the design of an inverter, DC-DC
converter, level shifter, and fabrication of the PCB [1].
The control algorithm for the hoverboard is tested using hysteresis current control
logic, and further work is suggested to implement self-balancing and regenerative
braking [3].
The paper discusses the use of ANSYS/Fluent software to simulate the temperature
of a Li-ion battery with a cooling system, and how it affects the battery's
performance [1] .
The cooling system helps to decrease the temperature of the battery, resulting in a
better outcome [1] .
Additionally, the paper highlights the importance of optimizing the protection circuit
module (PCM) cooling method for battery thermal management [2].
The simulation results of this study are compared to previous studies, showing better
findings [2].
The simulation studies in the paper show that without a cooling system, the battery
temperature rises quickly, while with a cooling system, it rises gradually .
Computational fluid dynamic and thermal analysis of Lithium-ion battery pack with air cooling
The paper analyzed the thermal behavior of a Li-ion battery pack and validated the
simulation results with experimental studies.[1]
The rate of convective heat transfer from the cells can be expressed using the first
law of thermodynamics.
The steady state of heat transfer from the cells to the air in the battery pack was
expressed using an equation.[2]
The experimental study used a data acquisition system to record temperature
readings and compared the results with numerical simulations.[3]
Correlations of Nu with Re were determined in the study and compared with
correlations found in the open literature.[4]
Conventional Li-ion cell construction for mobile devices involves winding electrode
sheets and separator together, resulting in empty space and uncoated current
collector and separator taking up volume without storing energy [1].
Commercial Li-ion batteries have been limited to about a 5 to 10 percent silicon-to-
graphite blend due to the construction limitations of conventional Li-ion cells [3].
The construction of conventional Li-ion cells makes them susceptible to thermal
runaway, which can result in explosions or fires. Metal particles introduced during
assembly can also cause short circuits and thermal runaway [4].
Modeling and Validation of 48V Mild Hybrid Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
The paper focuses on the development and validation of a 48V lithium-ion battery
model for mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs) .
The battery model is a standard equivalent circuit model with two-time constant
resistance-capacitance (RC) blocks .
The model was validated using battery test data generated by a hardware-in-the-
loop (HIL) system that simulated the impact of MHEV operation on the battery
pack [1].
The simulation shows that using a 0.4 kWh, 48V battery pack and MHEV system can
achieve similar fuel economy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as the OEM 0.5
kWh 115V battery pack and system, with the potential for reducing battery pack
weight and size [2].
The paper also mentions the development of advanced lithium-ion chemistries and
variations of deep-cycle lead-acid chemistries for 48V battery systems [3].
