two challenges available
Maximize battery performance by developing intelligent thermal pre-conditioning systems. We are looking for predictive models that anticipate driving patterns and optimize battery temperature. This includes the development of algorithms to pre-heat or pre-cool batteries for peak performance during racing or fast charging. Your solutions enhance battery efficiency and longevity and contribute to a seamless and reliable EV experience by mastering battery thermal management.
Battery thermal pre-conditioning refers to bringing the battery temperature to a pre-defined range at the time when peak motoring (e.g. on a race track) or charging power is required. The target is to develop a prediction model of the vehicle usage patterns to identify when and how to activate battery cooling or heating to achieve the pre-defined temperature range.
