Battery Pack Design Solution for Battery EVs in Simscape

Battery pack model for thermal management tasks, with modules of cells in series and parallel.

This example shows how to model an automotive battery pack for thermal management tasks. The battery pack consists of several battery modules, which are combinations of cells in series and parallel. Each battery cell is modeled using the Battery (Table-Based) Simscape Electrical block.

In this example, eight battery modules, six of one type and two of another type, are connected in series to simulate a battery pack. The Battery Controls subsystem defines the logic to determine the required cooling (flow rate and coolant temperature) for the applied current load.
