活动简介
This talk focuses on the role of AI and multidisciplinary optimization in enhancing battery thermal performance. It addresses two core research problems: parametric and structural optimization. Parametrically, AI algorithms optimize variables like cell spacing, coolant flow rate, and temperature to maximize temperature uniformity and minimize differences within a battery pack. Structurally, deep learning-driven topology optimization discovers the ideal cooling plate or tube geometry of battery. This approach simultaneously maximizes thermal performance while minimizing weight and pressure drop. The proposed method includes integrating advanced AI models, specifically Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP), with topology optimization. This powerful combination generates highly efficient, novel, and optimal cooling channel designs that traditional methods cannot achieve, leading to significant advancements in battery thermal management.
