Abstract:

The internal resistance of a battery affects its electrical performance and the temperature during its operation. Herein, the second-order equivalent circuit model (ECM) is established through the constant-current charge-discharge shelving test, which identifies the capacitance and resistance parameters of the cell under different currents, temperatures, and state-of-charge conditions, and calculates the electric performance of the cell. Additionally, Bernardi's heat generation model is introduced to account for the irreversible heat, and the combination of irreversible and reversible heat is calculated to determine the overall heat generation within the cell. By coupling the electric-thermal model in STAR-CCM+, the electrical and temperature responses of the battery are simulated under different working conditions. To overcome the shortcomings of the hybrid pulse power characterization test, such as short pulse time and incomplete characterization of internal resistance, this study adopts a constant-current charge-discharge shelving test to obtain the RC parameters and conducts an equivalent circuit simulation. The research results show that when the RC parameters obtained from the constant-current charge-discharge shelving test are imported into the electric-thermal coupling model, the simulation results have minimal deviation compared with the experimental results.
