Optimal sizing and lifetime investigation of second life lithium-ion battery for grid-scale stationary application Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Abraham Alem Kebede, Md Sazzad Hosen, Theodoros Kalogiannis, Henok Ayele Behabtu, Marta Zemedu Assefa, Towfik Jemal, Venkata Ramayya, Joeri Van Mierlo, Thierry Coosemans, Maitane Berecibar, et al.
The renewable energy sources (RESs) integration into the grid system aims to solve the problem of power shortage and satisfy the increasing demand with the production of surplus energy. However, the intermittent nature of these RESs (solar and wind) is a challenge to integrate with the grid system without the deployment of mitigating solutions. The re-use of first life-end-of-life (FL_EoL) electric vehicle batteries known as second life ...

A comprehensive review of novel cooling techniques and heat transfer coolant mediums investigated for battery thermal management systems in electric vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Rekabra Youssef, Theodoros Kalogiannis, Hamidreza Behi, Ashkan Pirooz, Joeri Van Mierlo, Maitane Berecibar
In electric vehicles (EVs), battery thermal management system (BTMS) plays an essential role in keeping the battery working within the optimal operating temperature range and preventing thermal runaway. Many cooling mediums have been conducted into BTMS to transfer, absorb, or dissipate the heat generated from the batteries. Thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient, cooling performance, cost, poison, environment, system size, and ...

Development of composite solid polymer electrolyte for solid-state lithium battery: Incorporating LLZTO in PVDF-HFP/LiTFSI Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Poonam Yadav, Md Sazzad Hosen, Lakshmi Naga Venkata Pradeep Kumar Dammala, Pavlo Ivanchenko, Joeri Van Mierlo, Maitane Berecibar
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are regarded as favorable future technology as they promise to deliver high energy density and improved safety. However, despite extensive research efforts, the development of SSBs still fall short of expectations mainly because of suitable solid electrolyte which can provide high ionic conductivity as well as good flexibility to enhance interface contact between electrolyte and electrodes. In this work, we have ...

Co-design multi-objective 3D optimization methodology for battery modules: An active air-cooling study case Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Theodoros Kalogiannis, Md Sazzad Hosen, Joeri Van Mierlo, Peter Van Den Bossche, Maitane Berecibar
To increase safety, performance and lifetime of the battery motive applications, the battery packs must be
optimized to meet various application specific requirements. These are typically expressed as volumetric
and gravimetric boundaries that should be optimized without compromising the energy and power capabilities
as well as the thermal management of the battery cells. Battery pack design hence becomes a
challenging task ...

A compact and self-sustained thermal management system for electric vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Theodoros Kalogiannis, Hamidreza Behi, Bernd Steinhoff, Eva-Maria Stelter, Rainer Sonnenberger, Mauro Casella, Deniz Suzen, Alois Steiner, Jean-Damien Muller, Aldo Ofenheimer, et al.
SELFIE is a 4 year-long European research and innovation project conducted by ten partners collaborate to
develop and demonstrate a novel thermal management system (TMS) and control, implemented at a full scale
electric vehicle. The TMS is comprised of a smart modular battery pack, with excellent internal thermal
conductivity properties, a refrigerant cooling system and thermal storage system capable of absorbing excess
heat ...

A comprehensive coupled 0D-ECM to 3D-CFD thermal model for heat pipe assisted-air cooling thermal management system under fast charge and discharge Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Danial Karimi, Hamidreza Behi, Maitane Berecibar, Joeri Van Mierlo

Prediction of electrical and thermal behavior of lithium-ion capacitor (LiC) technology as an asymmetric technology is feasible by designing a precise model. Such a model should mimic the behavior of LiCs in heavy-duty applications where high current rates are applied. The developed model is used to design a management system based on efficient modeling tools, including 0D (zero-dimensional) electro-thermal models and 3D computational fluid ...

Life cycle assessment of a lithium-ion battery with a silicon anode for electric vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Maeva Lavigne Philippot, Daniele Costa, Giuseppe Cardellini, Lysander De Sutter, Jelle Smekens, Joeri Van Mierlo, Maarten Messagie
New lithium-ion battery generations for electric vehicles are constantly being developed. Currently, batteries with silicon and graphite anode enter the market as third-generation batteries, with limited knowledge of their environmental impacts. This life cycle assessment study evaluates the impacts of the entire life cycle of a prototype lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2) battery with a silicon-rich anode using the ...

A lumped electro-thermal model for a battery module with a novel hybrid cooling system Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Jiacheng He, Md Sazzad Hosen, Rekabra Youssef, Theodoros Kalogiannis, Joeri Van Mierlo, Maitane Berecibar
An accurate thermal model is one of the keys to a thermal management system. However modeling of these battery modules based on lumped thermal model is challenging. The extension of the single battery model to a multi-battery model requires not only the connection between the electrical models of the multiple batteries, but also the consideration of the heat transfer between the batteries and the BTMS. In this paper, a lumped electrical-thermal ...

Equivalent Circuit Model for High-Power Lithium-Ion Batteries under High Current Rates, Wide Temperature Range, and Various State of Charges Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Danial Karimi, Hamidreza Behi, Joeri Van Mierlo, Maitane Berecibar

The most employed technique to mimic the behavior of lithium-ion cells to monitor and control them is the equivalent circuit model (ECM). This modeling tool should be precise enough to ensure the system’s reliability. Two significant parameters that affect the accuracy of the ECM are the applied current rate and operating temperature. Without a thorough understating of the influence of these parameters on the ECM, parameter estimation should ...
