AI Customer ServiceIV. TRANSIENT PROTECTION Most designers will recognize the need to add transient protection across the pack output terminals if the battery is used to drive a motor or highly inductive load. However, many designs with non-inductive loads do not have any transient-limiting devices and depend only on some small capacitors to attenuate the transients.
If a battery pack is removed from the system while under load, there is an opportunity for a damaging transient to occur. The battery pack should have sufficient capacitance to reduce transients or have something to clamp them. An even greater danger exists if there is a momentary short across the battery pack.
When a current flows into the cells, the polarization losses generate heat and directly warm up the battery pack. The second cluster of techniques can increase the battery pack temperature from its internal part reducing the thermal energy dispersions to the environment and making a homogeneous temperature field quickly .
Li-ion cells have a relatively high inductance for their size due to construction techniques. If a battery pack is removed from the system while under load, there is an opportunity for a damaging transient to occur. The battery pack should have sufficient capacitance to reduce transients or have something to clamp them.
For example, although 1D simulation is fast and allows for multiphysics analysis, it doesn’t include 3D visualization of the problem. On the other hand, 3D transient battery pack simulation can be computationally expensive, considering the large number of cases.
For this reason, Thermal Management Systems (TMSs) of battery packs of EVs are necessary to guarantee correct functioning in all environments and operating conditions.
