Create a Linear Time Invariant

System Model

Output of such a system is completely characterized by its impulse (or

step) response in that the output of the system under any input is simply

the convolution of the impulse response and the input.

Battery Module Analysis

• Thermal model is represented by LTI Foster network

• RC values are derived from CFD results

• System level response from LTI Foster network is equivalent to the

detailed CFD analysis

• LTI Foster network executes significantly faster

Thermal Model: Technical Background

• Temperature rise at any point in the system is the sum of the

independently derived temperature increase attributable to each heat

source in the system

• Assumptions:

– Temperature assumed to be a linear function of heat sources

– This requires that the fluid flow is constant (for each study) and density

and all properties are constants

– Geometry remains fixed
