Abstract:
A Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) controller with smart features is designed, validated through simulations, and implemented at lab level. The bedrock of the developed controller consists of four Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers that manage independently the four actuators of the evaluated thermal system. The additional smart features respond to four different control goals: driving profile adaptation, energy consumption minimization, aging minimization, and fast-charge efficiency maximization. The designed controller’s stability and applicability is validated through simulations thanks to the provided battery pack model, heat exchanger model and thermal actuators models. Finally, the controller has been implemented on the battery pack of the AUDI e-tron at lab level. The results confirm that the designed controller is suitable to be used on a real vehicle.
