An Efficient and Robust Numerical Solution of the Full-Order Multiscale Model of Lithium-Ion Battery

الملخص EN

We propose a novel and efficient numerical approach for solving the pseudo two-dimensional multiscale model of the Li-ion cell dynamics based on first principles, describing the ion diffusion through the electrolyte and the porous electrodes, electric potential distribution, and Butler-Volmer kinetics.

The numerical solution is obtained by the finite difference discretization of the diffusion equations combined with an original iterative scheme for solving the integral formulation of the laws of electrochemical interactions.

We demonstrate that our implementation is fast and stable over the expected lifetime of the cell.

In contrast to some simplified models, it provides physically consistent results for a wide range of applied currents including high loads.

The algorithm forms a solid basis for simulations of cells and battery packs in hybrid electric vehicles, with possible straightforward extensions by aging and heat effects.
