Side Flow

We investigated the results of the cooling performance of the pulsating water/nanofluids flowing in the thermoelectric cooling module for cooling electric vehicle battery systems. The experimental system was designed and constructed to consider the effects of the water block configuration, hot and cold side flow rates, supplied power input, and coolant types on the cooling performance of the thermoelectric module. The measured results from the present study with the Peltier module are verified against those without the thermoelectric module. Before entering the electric vehicle battering system with a Peltier module, the inlet coolant temperatures were 2.5-3.5℃ lower than those without the thermoelectric system. On the hot side, the maximum COP of the thermoelectric cooling module was 1.10 and 1.30 for water and nanofluids as coolant, respectively. The results obtained from the present approach can be used to optimize the battery cooling technique to operate in an appropriate temperature range for getting higher energy storage, durability, lifecycles, and efficiency.

The Impact

Electric vehicle (EV) powertrains consist of power electronic components as well as electric machines to manage the energy flow between different powertrain subsystems and to deliver the necessary torque and power requirements at the wheels. These power subsystems can generate undesired electrical harmonics on the direct current (DC) bus of the powertrain. This may lead to the on-board battery being subjected to DC current superposed with undesirable high- and low- frequency current oscillations, known as ripples. From real-world measurements, significant current harmonics perturbations within the range of 50 Hz to 4 kHz have been observed on the high voltage DC bus of the EV. In the limited literature, investigations into the impact of these harmonics on the degradation of battery systems have been conducted. In these studies, the battery systems were supplied by superposed current signals i.e., DC superposed by a single frequency alternating current (AC). None of these studies considered applying the entire spectrum of the ripple current measured in the real-world scenario, which is focused on in this research. The preliminary results indicate that there is no difference concerning capacity fade or impedance rise between the cells subjected to just DC current and those subjected additionally to a superposed AC ripple current.

Abstract This paper presents the application of robotics for the disassembly of electric vehicle lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs for the purpose of recycling. Electric vehicle battery systems can be expensive and dangerous to disassemble, therefore making it cost inefficient to recycle them currently. Dangers associated with high voltage and thermal runaway make a robotic system suitable for this task, as the danger to technicians or workers is significantly reduced, and the cost to operate a robotic system would be potentially less expensive over the robots lifetime. The proposed method allows for the automated or semi-automated disassembly of electric vehicle LIB packs for the purpose of recycling. In order to understand the process, technicians were studied during the disassembly process, and the modes and operations were recorded. Various modes of interacting with the battery module were chosen and broken down into gripping and cutting operations. Operations involving cutting and gripping were chosen for experimentation, and custom end of arm tooling was designed for use in the disassembly process. Path planning was performed offline in both MATLAB/Simulink and ROBOGUIDE, and the simulation results were used to program the robot for experimental validation.

The objective of this paper is to present a fault diagnosis methodology for hybrid electric vehicle battery systems. The faults that have been considered include: temperature sensor fault, current sensor fault, and voltage sensor. Many of these faults, if left undetected, will result in decreased battery performance and could eventually lead to pack failure.

Good Agreement

This paper presents a CFD and experimental study of the thermal behavior of the thermoelectric-compartment in a hybrid household-refrigerator that combines thermoelectric and vapor-compression technologies. The hybrid refrigerator has three compartments. One of them is driven by a thermoelectric cooling system, which was made of one Peltier module and two fan-cooled heat sinks mounted on the hot and cold sides. The simulation results were compared with experimental measurements and showed a good agreement. The performance of the thermoelectric refrigerator was tested with changing the pushing direction. Two pushing directions for the fan were examined. In the first one (direction-I), the fan was fixed such that it sucked the air beside the cold heat sink. While in the second direction (direction-II), the fan was assumed to be flipped to push the air over the cold-side heat sink. The results showed that the second fan direction (direction-II) is more effective for heat transfer mechanism between the cold-side heat sink and the inside air of the thermoelectric-compartment.

Algebraic Solutions

Abstract This paper discusses a methodology for incorporating the behavior of a thermoelectric cooling module in a finite element model of an electronic chip module. A background discussion of thermoelectric cooling is provided followed by a discussion of algebraic solutions for either chip temperature or allowable power on a uniformly powered multi-chip module. The basis and method of implementing an integrated thermoelectric-conduction model in ANSYS is presented. Example calculations are presented and discussed for a thermoelectrically cooled non-uniformly powered MCM. A “quasi-superposition” approach combining results obtained by 1-D algebraic solutions with thermoelectric cooling, with ANSYS results without thermoelectric cooling is also discussed. This approach offers a means to estimate the chip temperatures on an MCM cooled by a thermoelectric module without the need to actually build a detailed and time consuming finite element model of the thermoelectric module.
