The importance of the Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) is paramount within the context of the life cycle and autonomy of hybrid and electric vehicles, considering also the increasing importance of the EV market. In this context, this work explores the feasibility of a real-time application of a BTMS, developed in the Simscape environment by MathWorks. In a previous work, the PID controller originally used by MathWorks was replaced with a much more efficient Model Predictive Controller (MPC). The MPC manages the compressor of the refrigerant cycle and is fundamental in battery temperature management. Within this work, the model was first adapted to a previous MATLAB version (2020b), and various components were completely modified, such as the compressor and the fan.
