CAN THERMAL ANALYSIS OF BATTERY CELL/PACK BE DONE ON MATLAB/SIMSCAPE?

Hi,

Iwould appriciate any helful insights regarding performing the thermal analysis of battery pack with MATLAB/SIMSCAPE. Is it possible to do so? Since ANSYS/FLUENT is popularly used to perform the thermal analysis of battery pack model.

thank you.

Hi Sudeep,

I understand that you want to perform thermal analysis of battery pack in MATLAB.

You can refer to the following MATLAB example on “Battery Pack Thermal Management” which models an automotive battery pack for thermal management tasks:

Additionally, for a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical aspects of thermal management in batteries, I recommend visiting the MATLAB discovery page on "Battery Thermal Management System". This page discusses theoretical aspects, and lists various examples and resources around thermal management in batteries:

Hope this helps.

Best,
