TY - THES A1 - Babariya, Ronak Sanjaybhai T1 - Thermal simulation of battery energy storage system for energy market applications N2 - The battery energy storage system is one of the systems that can support the use of renewable energy. The battery system is used to store electric energy, and it provides flexibility when energy is required at a certain time. It is essential to adjust the temperature of the battery cells in order to maintain better performance, a long lifespan, and great safety in the battery system. As a result, it is necessary to have a proper and better designed thermal management system that can keep the battery cells within the required temperature range when the battery systems are in operation. Heat transfer is a considerable phenomenon that is connected with the battery energy storage system. In general, temperature is the most important variable in heat transfer, which occurs when heat moves from a higher temperature zone to a lower temperature region. Heat transfer within the medium can be described by conduction, convection, and radiation. This thesis describes a study that was undertaken to tackle heat convection based thermal problems inside the battery module and the battery system rack. The battery module and the battery system rack are employed in energy market operations and renewable energy storage. Thermal heat convection based on heat transfer and fluid (air) flow inside the battery module and the battery system rack is designed in SolidWorks software and then simulated with FloEFD software for CFD simulations. SolidWorks and FloEFD software are described in detail, including heat transfer and fluid flow, internal and external air-forced boundaries, and physics connections. In addition, the process flow of 3D model design using SolidWorks software and the simulation process using FloEFD software explains the different possible initial conditions, boundary conditions, and necessary inputs. This thesis report also describes in detail the available strategies and approaches to addressing this thermal problem using FloEFD software. The simulation results are presented at the end of the thesis report in the form of a simulation and analysed solution for the battery system cooling.
