One-Dimensional Modeling and Experimental Analysis of Nail Penetration Thermal Runaway for Large Capacity Li-Ion Power Battery

This paper takes a certain type of large-capacity pure electric vehicle NCM li-ion power battery as the object, and analyzes and studies the process of nail penetration thermal runaway(TR). With the aid of AMEsim one-dimensional simulation software, considering the structure composition of the cell, the heat generation mechanism of each side reaction and the three heat transfer modes of thermal radiation, heat conduction and convective heat transfer between the cells, box and the environment, the thermoelectric characteristics of the battery module (six cells) are modeled. The TR behavior of the battery module during nail penetration is simulated and analyzed, and the experiment of the battery module is carried out according to Chinese new regulation GB 38031 − 2020. The experimental results verify the accuracy of the established model and the reliability of the simulation results, and provide technical reference for the design and development of battery thermal management such as the prediction of TR temperature and the safety of preventing TRP of battery pack.
