A Convex Optimization Framework for the Optimal Design, Energy, and Thermal Management of Li-Ion Battery Packs

Freudiger, Danny

Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
The electrification of commercial medium- and heavy-duty (MD/HD) vehicles presents new challenges in the design and control of the hybrid powertrain. Advances in Li-Ion battery technology have increased the capabilities of the battery pack, providing more electric range and increased power characteristics. However, new approaches and tools are necessary to improve the overall system efficiency, where a single cell technology may not meet the vocation demand. This dissertation explores the use of a convex optimization framework for the optimal design, energy, and thermal management of Li-Ion battery packs. Convex optimization methods provide advantages in terms of problem formulation, computation speed, and the guarantee of a globally optimal solution. Leveraging a convex framework, new hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) are investigated, where high-energy and high-power batteries are combined in a single system to capitalize on the benefits of each technology. The implementation of a HESS introduces complexities in the pack design and energy management, which are presented through a Design Space Exploration comparing single chemistry and hybrid chemistry battery packs. In addition, the optimal control of the battery thermal management system (TMS) is developed using convex optimization, where new methodologies are explored to mitigate the propagation of approximation error that arise during the convexification process.
