EV battery thermal management based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry
This research is focused on developing optical sensing technique for probing temperature and strain along an optical fiber. It is expected to probe small temperature variations with high spatial resolution, ideal for characterizing temperature distribution within dense energy storage systems and compact energy conversion systems with no electromagnetic interferences. Additionally, this research aims to develop a control model for preventing thermal runaway and enhancing the efficiency of cooling in electric vehicle batteries using OFDR experiments. This model will allow for precise monitoring and management of temperature within the battery system, improving safety and performance.
