Abstract
A method and battery system for thermal management of a battery system includes predicting a total heat generation by a battery based on determined internal conditions of the battery, and controlling a selective adjusting of a heat transfer coefficient for the battery based on the predicted total heat generation to maintain an operating temperature of the battery at a target temperature or within a target temperature range.
Claims19
A processor-implemented method for thermal management of a battery system, the method comprising:
- predicting a total heat generation by a battery based on internal conditions of the battery;
- calculating a target heat transfer coefficient for the battery based on a heat transfer difference that depends on the predicted total heat generation;
- and
- controlling a selective adjusting of a heat transfer coefficient for the battery based on the target heat transfer coefficient to maintain an operating temperature of the battery at a target temperature or within a target temperature range.
A battery system thermally managing a battery, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
