Electric Vehicle Battery Pack - Flexible Module Design

Electric Vehicle Battery Pack - Flexible Module Design. As the automotive industry goes through developing a new generation of fully electric or hybrid vehicles with a native electric platform, electrification of older generations of ICE cars as a retro modification method might also be appealing to certain costumers, as it is not only more environmentally sustainable in terms of reutilizing the older vehicles and avoiding manufacturing, scrappage and new-car development cost, but it is also a more cost-effective solution for popularizing the electric mobility. The aim of this work is to develop a duct for the convoy of the gases produced by the cells outside the vehicle. These gases are produced after a failure of the cell, and we don’t want them to reach the cockpit because they could burn and explode by interacting with the electronics. Concurrently with the duct also a new way to assembly the pack was designed also because of the introduction of the SCIC, a smartbar (smart busbar) that helps in the regulation of the voltage and current in the battery back and bypasses a supercell that is experiencing a faulty behaviour. Finally, a new mounting system for the battery pack was designed and tested.
