Thermal fault detection of lithium-ion battery packs through an integrated physics and deep neural network based model

Battery packs develop faults over time, many of which are difficult to detect early. For instance, cooling system blockages raises temperatures but may not trigger alerts until protection limits are exceeded. This work presents a model-based method for early thermal fault detection and identification in battery packs. By comparing measured and estimated temperatures, the method identifies faults including failed sensors, coolant pump …
