2 Project 4.23: Powertrain thermal management strategies based on active monitoring and control PROJECT REPORT Project Start Date: 1 January 2017 (this is the 3rd year for a project started on Jan 1, 2015) Quad Members: Name Position, Affiliation Contact Lin Ma (PI) Professor, Virginia Tech linma@vt.edu Heath Hofmann (collaborator) Associate Professor, University of Michigan hofmann@umich.edu Haoting Wang PhD Graduate Student, Virginia Tech haoting@vt.edu Tyler Capil MS Graduate Student, Virginia Tech tcapil@vt.edu Matthew Castanier Yi Ding Peter Schihl Data Analysis and Optimization US Army RDECOM-TARDEC Ground Vehicle Power & Mobility US Army RDECOM-TARDEC Ground Vehicle Power & Mobility US Army RDECOM-TARDEC matt.castanier@us.army.mil yi.ding8.civ@us.army.mil peter.schihl@us.army.mil Ed Hodge Chief Engineer, Rolls-Royce LibertyWorks C.Edward.Hodge@liberty.rollsroyce.com; Kim Yeow Engineer, AVL Powertrain Engineering kim.yeow@avl.com, Motivation, Background and Objectives: Thermal management is a critical challenge for the design of powertrain, particular hybrid systems involving batteries, due to their highly dynamic operation and wide range of operation environments. For example, the optimal temperature (T) range of operation for Li-ion batteries (~20 to 40 0 C) can be dramatically narrower than the operation range (which can vary between ~70 to C). Operating batteries working beyond their optimal temperature range can lead to decreased efficiency, life, and even catastrophe. Therefore in 2015, we proposed a new project to address four topics in the area of powertrain thermal management: 1) establish an experimental platform to study adaptive thermal management strategies, 2) develop and validate multi-disciplinary models integrating heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and electro-thermal dynamics, 3) design control strategies to maximize the cooling performance and minimize parasitic power consumption, and 4) augment collaborations with the ARC community. In the past three years, we have achieved all the objectives for the four topics. We have established the experimental platforms [1-5] and archived multi-disciplinary models [1, 2, 4] in the ARC depository in the area of powertrain thermal management. The active controlled thermal management successfully reduced the parasitic energy consumption while maintaining the cooling performance. For our 2017 efforts, we proposed the following specific objectives: 1) obtain experimental data to validate both detailed and reduced-order model (ROM) for a large pack, 2) obtain experimental measurements of T distribution along the cooling path of a battery pack using IR imaging, 3) extend 1

3 existing ROM to two-dimensional (2D) thermal model, 4) Study the active control of large pack using both unidirectional and reciprocating cooling flows based on the experimental platform and ROM model described above, 5) conduct exploratory study on the use of heat pipes and liquid cooling, 6) continue collaborating with other PIs and sharing well-documented experimental data in the ARC community. While the 2017 efforts are still ongoing, we are on schedule to complete the project as proposed. The two dimensional ROM model was first created for a large scale battery pack. The model combined the advantages of existing detailed (CFD or FEA) [3, 6] and simplified (1D ROM or 1D lumped model) [2, 7, 8] thermal models while avoiding their limitations. And experiments have been performed to measure the T distribution in the pack, the data were used to validate the thermal models and showed good accuracy of the model. Also, we have improved current active control strategy [4, 5] using continuous flow rate variation. The controlled temperature was more stable and the parasitic energy consumption was further reduced comparing to current on and off cooling in the wind tunnel test. Approach: To address the above objectives, this project proposed a coordinated experimental and modeling effort. The experimental aspects of this project are based on the platform shown in Figure 1. The platform consists of four major components: A) the battery pack consists of real prismatic cells and up to 16 dummy cells with adjustable heat generation rates; B) the cycler and control system to charge/discharge both the real and dummy cells in programmable patterns; C) a wind tunnel that provides controlled cooling flow; and D) diagnostic instrumentation such as IR imaging, pressure rake, and velocimetry probes. We used this experimental platform to accomplish the research goals proposed above. Specifically in last year we have used this experimental platform to: 1) obtain the experimental measurements of T distribution of a battery pack, 2) study active control on a large pack using both unidirectional and reciprocating cooling flows. Figure 1: Experimental platform and data acquisition devices 2

4 The simulation aspect of this project was based on the ROM models developed by the PI s own group [1, 2, 4, 9] and also by other PIs [10-12] in the ARC community. Last year s work was focused on two aspects: 1) extend existing ROM to two-dimensional (2D) and to incorporate reciprocating cooling flows, 2) validate 2D ROM using T distribution measurements.

We should allow them to finish the third year. PI response: We thank the very positive feedback and encouragement from this reviewer. Reviewer 2: Reviewer comments: I found it difficult to review this proposal. On the one hand, developing thermal management strategies for batteries and powertrain systems is very important. On the other hand, the actual experimental system that has been built seems to be missing several important physical 5

7 properties of automotive battery systems that would be required for the experiments to be truly relevant to actual systems. Therefore, although I think this work could be used to help validate some of the underlying models, I m not convinced that it can be used to properly explore and prove out thermal management strategies. PI response: We are glad that the reviewer recognizes the importance of developing thermal management strategies for batteries and powertrain systems. We further agrees with the reviewer that our work cannot, and is not intended to, be conducted under truly practical conditions. Our intention and strength, exactly as the reviewer also pointed out, is to help validate the underlying models. Furthermore, due to some of the innovative experimental approaches, we can validate the underlying models and even explore some of the high-risk approaches with manageable cost and rapid turnaround time. Reviewer 3: Reviewer comments: This is the continuation of a previous project targeted on thermal management strategies based on active monitoring and control. The specific extended efforts on battery pack and its temperature non-uniformity by obtaining experimental data for model validation, Extend existing ROM to two-dimensional (2D), and study of active control may bridge the gap and potentially support the efforts for military vehicle electrification and 6T format Li-ion battery applications. The transition of the research results has not been detailed in the proposed efforts. The funding requested does not cover the travel cost to participate AIAA conference. The Offeror may need to increase the requested funds or may want to mention that he is going to use other funds to cover the travel cost. PI response: We thank the reviewer for recognizing that our work may bridge the gap and potentially support the efforts for military vehicle electrification and 6T format Li-ion battery applications. Regarding the comments about transition of the work, we do have plans to archive (and have been archiving) results and models in the ARC depository; and we will do a better job communicating our plan to transition our work in future reports, proposals, and meetings with our quad members. Lastly, regarding the comment about travel cost for the AIAA conference, the fund we requested from ARC is indeed not sufficient, and the PI s plan was to combine funds from his other projects as usually the attendance of AIAA conference is relevant to and will benefit multiple of his projects. Reviewer 4: Reviewer comments: This plan presented in the proposal was well thought out and shows good collaboration with other PI's working in the same thrust area. The use of IR imaging to obtain temperature measurements in a controlled experiment will provide a chance to advance that technique. PI response: We thank the positive feedback from the reviewer, and we are also excited about the new data that the IR technique is expected to enable. Reviewer 5: Reviewer comments: The proposed exploratory research on heat pipes near the end of this project is dubious to say the least. The PI should confer with TARDEC thermal management engineers to ensure there is interest in light of the fact that TARDEC has explored heat pipes on various occasions during the last few decades. This project is truly focused on HEV architecture where there is a significant sized battery pack for energy storage. TARDEC isn t as focused as they used to be in the past of HEV and thus this projects relevancy to TARDEC is minor. 6

8 PI response: We thank the reviewer for the suggestion on the exploratory work we mentioned about heat pipes, and we will indeed need to confer with TARDEC about the relevance of heat pipes should our exploratory results encourage further work in this area. However, for this current project, our focus is not on heat pipes - probably more than 90% of the proposed efforts does not involve heat pipes. And we will put in a stronger effort to articulate this more clearly in our future communications with the ARC community. Major Milestones and Deliverables since Project Start: Year/Month 2015/06 The design of the experimental platform of a small battery pack was completed and the experimental demonstration of adaptive control scheme was conducted on this platform. 2015/09 Both ROM and CFD model were built and integrated with the electro-chemical mechanism, and the models were verified by the experimental data. The CFD and ROM models were validated by these experimental data and archived in the ARC depository. 2016/06 The design of the experimental platform of the large battery pack was completed and the experiment demonstration of adaptive control scheme was conducted at both room temperature and elevated temperature environment. 2017/01 The existing ROM was expanded to the two dimensional ROM and demonstrated to provide accurate temperature distribution in pack. ARC/TARDEC/Industry Benefits: This project investigated several key aspects in adaptive battery cooling, and integrate these aspects to explore optimal control strategies using both experimental and simulation studies. The following interactions and benefits are expected: 1) Interactions with and benefits to other ongoing ARC research The PI has been and will continue to closely collaborate with other PIs. For example, in the past, we have shared heat transfer and pressure drop data in a wide range of flow velocities to Dr. Wagner (Clemson) and Dr. Yeow (AVL) for the study of powertrain modeling and battery cooling. The active control demonstration proposed here is expected to enjoy strong synergies among several ARC PIs and augment the PI s collaboration with them. For example, we expect our work to complement the activities of Dr. Stefanopoulou s group (Michigan, online parameterization and ROM development), and Drs. Filipi and Wagner (Clemson, in the area of multi-objective optimization of powertrain). The experimental demonstration is expected to integrate and highlight the breakthroughs in these areas, and also to provide archival data of adaptive control for these groups. This year, we plan to augment our collaborative efforts and also initiate a collaboration with Prof. Heath Hoffman s group (University of Michigan, currently working on e-motor thermal management). We plan to collaborate on the choice of optimal turbulence models, measurements of T distributions, and the development of ROMs. All these issues are important for both groups, given the near-wall effects and complicated geometries involved in both battery packs and e-motors. 2) Interactions with and benefits to ongoing TARDEC work The PI has been actively soliciting advice and inputs from Drs. Anna Stefanopoulou, Yi Ding, Peter Schihl, and Dr. Matthew Castanier in the strategic design of both the experimental and modeling 7

9 work. The PI will work with ARC and our TARDEC quad members to discuss the potential of implementation and transfer of the research to Army. 3) Interactions with and benefits to ongoing work at Industry partner The PI has been working with Dr. Kim Yeow (AVL Powertrain Engineering) since 2010, and has been providing results valuable for the evaluation of 3D effects, optimal packing, and power consumption for practical battery cooling. Starting in 2013, Dr. Ed Hodge from Rolls Royce has expressed interests in several aspects of the research and agreed to serve as an industrial quad member (see letter of support). Dr. Hodge has been supporting the PI in the area of advanced diagnostics for power systems, and the diagnostic and instrumentation development supported by Rolls Royce will facilitate the experimental aspects proposed in this ARC project. The PI regularly updates the quad members and integrates their inputs into the research (via both in person meetings and teleconference/ s). During the past two years, the PI has delivered onsite ARC seminars, presentations, and posters at the ARC review meeting, and discussed the projects regularly with the quad members.
