This thesis discusses the design and development of a simulation thermal model for a pouch lithium-ion cell (LIC).
In the introductory chapter, an overview of pouch LIC and their characteristics are given. Followed by a chapter of basics of thermodynamics. The thermal behavior of LICs is then analyzed, with a detailed description of key thermal parameters, which serve as the basis for simulation model.
An equivalent thermal circuit model of a lithium-ion cell developed and simulated within Matlab/Simulink environment presents the core of the research work. The purpose of developed thermal model is to analyze the heat transfer throughout the cell.
The reliability of the simulation model was validated by the experimental work on single testing cell.
The software code developed in this thesis can be used for further thermal analysis in the field of cooling the set of cell, from the perspective of improved heat dissipation.
