    Abstract:

    Subzero environment results in the accelerated performance degradation, lifespan shortage, lithium planting, and even some severe problems such as internal short circuit of lithium-ion battery cells. Therefore, preheating has become a critical issue for electric vehicle application in the low-temperature area. The consistency between the battery cells has a significant impact on the module performance and aging mechanism. In this paper, the clustering approach was utilized for battery cell selection. In addition, a hybrid battery thermal management system (BTMS) coupled with positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating film and cooling plate is proposed, the heating efficiency of the proposed system at the ambient temperature (-40℃)was investigated through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling and numerical calculation. The results indicate that the minimum temperature of the battery module can be heated to a state higher than 0 ℃ after 695 seconds of preheating. Besides, the temperature standard deviation of the battery module gets decreased by 5.9 ℃ compared with the pure PTC heating approach. Therefore, this proposed method efficiently heat the battery module to an operational state within a short heating interval, without much energy cost. The preheating speed reaches 3.56 ℃/min. Moreover, the thermal uniformity gets enhanced.
