Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Next-generation battery technologies, such as solid-state electrolytes, and lithium-metal anodes, have the potential for step-change improvements in battery pack energy storage and performance.
However, these batteries have different operating conditions and thermal behaviour to current lithium-ion batteries which need to be considered to maximise system-level performance.
This project will investigate the design and operation of vehicle thermal management systems (VTMS) using next-generation battery technology. It will build and utilise a combination of numerical modelling and experimental studies to investigate the system-level performance of next-generation batteries.
This will include cold-start strategies, high ambient temperature operation, rapid charge, and cabin climate control. It is anticipated this project will help inform thermal management system design and control strategies for improved electric vehicles.
