Conference Paper Description

The world is facing an energy transition, and fossil fuels are replaced by electricity through the use of energy storage systems (ESS). This is the case for mobility; electric vehicles (EV) are taking the roads replacing the traditional fossil fuel-based vehicles. Although the technology that is in the road is safe and capable to fulfill the transport needs, fast charging is still a pending issue on electric mobility. In order to overcome this bottleneck, thermal management systems and heating/cooling systems are the keys. There are already many different solutions under research on this topic; one of it is the usage of phase change materials (PCM) in the cooling systems as part of the Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) strategy. In this paper, PCM solutions have been tested at fast charging rates, such as 2, 4, and 6 C rates. Additionally, a comparison with a more simplistic hybrid cooling system has been done in order to see the advantage of using PCM materials.
