Comparative study on thermal analysis of battery module in an electric car

In today’s world, the new trend of Electric Vehicles has taken over the automobile industry. But there are still many problems related to them that needs to be solved to have a better footing in this industry. Battery packs areone of the most important systems of an electric car. As all know that pure electric cars/vehicles produce green emission i.e., zero emission, hence benefitting not only the environment but also economy by decreasing the usage of fossil fuels, that indirectly helps in saving money. One of the major problems faced is the thermal issues in electric vehicles. Battery pack performance influences all major criteria of an electric vehicle that are range, charge acceptance, power of acceleration etc. In this paper, an overview about thermal analysis of a battery module and optimizing its structural design so as to minimize the thermal issue in the battery pack is carried out. The software in the field of design and mechanics like Autodesk Fusion 360 is used.
