ABSTRACT:
The simulation study delves into the vital role of thermal management in battery systems, which is critical for battery longevity and efficiency in applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. The research highlights the significant impact of heat generation on overall battery health and performance under constant charging and discharging cycles. Thermal
management, which is critical for minimizing temperature-related difficulties, tries to minimize overheating or severe cold, both of which are known to reduce efficiency and limit operational life. The study analyses the complicated relationship between battery performance and the addition of an air conditioning system using simulation tools such as ANSYS 2023 R2. The planned air cooling system seeks to maintain an optimal battery temperature range of 20 to 50 °C, with battery cells anticipated to attain a temperature of 55 °C during operation. The goal is to evaluate the feasibility and long-term effectiveness of incorporating air conditioning systems to improve battery thermal performance and potentially extend operating life. This comprehensive technique ensures battery durability and adaptability in our ever-changing electric landscape.
