Project DescriptionIf this is an EPSRC funded project please specify how it fits within one of their research areas Motivation - Temperature is a crucial influencing factor on Electric Vehicle (EV) performance (power delivery, drive comfort and range) as well as the battery pack performance (health, power and capacity). Especially at low temperature, the driving range could be radically reduced to enhance the power delivery and comfort while the battery health and power - capacity will be affected by ageing mechanisms such as lithium plating phenomena and reduction in electrolytic ionic conductivity, respectively. Due to the systems' complexity with different operational modes, their performances could be further deteriorated by a use of an inefficient thermal management strategy.Aims - This project aims to develop an intelligent Thermal Management System (iTMS) for high performance EVs. The iTMS is the combination of three enabling technologies: (1) loop heat pipe technology for battery system; (2) heat pump technology for vehicle systems; and (3) an optimal thermal management strategy to effectively manage both the thermal systems, offering the best performance through a dynamic trade-off between power, range, comfort, component lifetime and reliability. Main Objectives - Successful development of the iTMS therefore will underpin five goals: (a) High power delivery; (b) High cooling - heating efficiency; (c) Less energy consumption; (d) Low maintenance cost; (e) High reliability.Main research objectives include:To carry out a comprehensive literature review and real-world duty cycles analysis with relevant stakeholders to exploit commercial-technical impact pathways and to identify use cases, design requirements and specifications of the iTMSTo design a generic battery system integrated an advanced loop heat pipe system and, to create its comprehensive model with real-time capabilityTo design a real-time capable model of a complete EV, including a heat-pump circuit integrated with the loop heat pipe systemTo develop an optimal thermal management strategy with real-time capability using dynamic multi-objective optimization and AI (Artificial Intelligent) -based decision making techniquesTo perform real-world case studies to confirm the capability and applicability of the designed iTMSTo disseminate the scientific outcomes through high-ranking journals and presentations at renowned international conferences and workshopsThis project will benefit from real-world and lab data, obtained from successful collaborative research and PhD projects led by the supervisors, allowing the model validation. To maximise potential outcomes of this project, the unique vehicle thermal testbed (mixing both physical and virtual hardware of EV and battery) recently established by the supervisors and advanced simulation tools will be utilised as the platform to allow the student to verify the whole iTMS, including real-time experiment.Research Strategy Alignment - This project is strongly aligned with three themes of the 'Energy' GRP of Warwick as well as WMG: Low Carbon Transport, Energy Storage and Energy Management. This fits well within the research themes led by the supervisors, consequently, will boost their leadership in the field of energy storage, energy management and control for smart transport systems.

项目描述如果这是 EPSRC 资助的项目，请说明它如何适合其研究领域之一动机 - 温度是电动汽车 (EV) 性能（动力输出、驾驶舒适性和续航里程）以及电池组性能的关键影响因素（健康、力量和能力）。特别是在低温下，行驶里程可能会大幅减少，以提高动力输出和舒适度，而电池健康状况和功率容量将分别受到锂镀层现象和电解离子电导率降低等老化机制的影响。由于系统具有不同操作模式的复杂性，如果使用低效的热管理策略，其性能可能会进一步恶化。 目标 - 该项目旨在为高性能电动汽车开发智能热管理系统（iTMS）。 iTMS是三种使能技术的结合：（1）电池系统环路热管技术； (2)车辆系统热泵技术； (3) 最佳热管理策略，有效管理两个热系统，通过功率、范围、舒适度、组件寿命和可靠性之间的动态权衡提供最佳性能。主要目标 - 因此，iTMS 的成功开发将支撑五个目标： (a) 高功率传输； (b) 冷却-加热效率高； (c) 减少能源消耗； (d) 维护成本低； (e) 高可靠性。主要研究目标包括：与相关利益相关者一起进行全面的文献综述和现实世界的工作周期分析，以利用商业技术影响路径并确定 iTMS 的用例、设计要求和规范，设计一个通用电池系统集成了先进的环路热管系统，并创建具有实时功能的综合模型设计完整电动汽车的实时模型，包括与环路热管系统集成的热泵电路开发最佳模型实时热管理策略使用动态多目标优化和基于 AI（人工智能）的决策技术的能力进行实际案例研究，以确认设计的 iTMS 的能力和适用性通过高级期刊和著名国际会议和演讲传播科学成果研讨会该项目将受益于现实世界和实验室数据，这些数据是从导师领导的成功合作研究和博士项目中获得的，从而可以验证模型。为了最大限度地提高该项目的潜在成果，导师最近建立的独特的车辆热测试平台（混合了电动汽车和电池的物理和虚拟硬件）和先进的模拟工具将被用作平台，让学生验证整个iTMS，研究策略调整 - 该项目与沃里克大学和 WMG 的“能源”GRP 的三个主题紧密结合：低碳运输、能源存储和能源管理。这非常符合导师主导的研究主题，因此将提升他们在智能交通系统的能源存储、能源管理和控制领域的领导地位。
