Simulation Analysis of Thermal Runaway Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries have become the first choice for electric vehicle power batteries and energy storage power plants due to their good output characteristics and high energy density. Taking the lithium battery as the research object, a battery monomer heat production model is established to explore the heat generation mechanism of the lithium-ion battery, and the simulation results show that the internal temperature field of lithium-ion battery is unevenly distributed, and the middle temperature is higher than the surrounding temperature. The experimental analysis of the thermal runaway characteristics of the lithium-ion battery under the pinning conditions shows that the temperature change trend of the battery is the same at each point during the pinning period, but the temperature at the pinning point is the highest. With the increase of the battery SOC, the maximum temperature at each temperature point increases, but the growth rate of the maximum temperature becomes gradually slower.
