Another fact that can be observed is that due to current intensity the
battery drains out more rapidly, which is in concordance with the reality.
5. Conclusions and Future Work
1. This research main objective was to model the battery to include the
heat generated and to extract information from it.
2. As can be seen in the first simulation in Fig. 7 the Li-ion battery will
need a cooling system to maintain its temperature at an optimal value. Without
it the battery’s temperature can raise above the maximum temperature and it
will damage the battery
3. The OpenModelica is a great tool that can help us in creating what if
scenarios and we rapidly can take decisions about the dynamics of any physical
system.
4. Even OpenModelica helped us to see the extent of the heat generation
in the battery we still need to do experiment and to determine if we took all the
parameters in this model, so the next phase will be to determine experimentally
the battery’s coefficients and to validate the model.
