| description | The thermal runaway propagation (TRP) model of energy storage batteries can provide solutions for the safety protection of energy storage systems. Traditional TRP models are solved using the finite element method, which can significantly consume computational resources and time due to the large number of elements and nodes involved. To ensure solution accuracy and improve computational efficiency, this paper transforms the heat transfer problem in finite element calculations into a state-space equation form based on the reduced-order theory of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems; a simplified method is proposed to solve the heat flow changes in the battery TRP process, which is simple, stable, and computationally efficient. This study focuses on a four-cell 100 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery module, and module experiments are conducted to analyze the TRP characteristics of the battery. A reduced-order model (ROM) of module TRP is established based on the Arnoldi method for Krylov subspace, and a comparison of simulation efficiency is conducted with the finite element model (FEM). Finally, energy flow calculations are performed based on experimental and simulation data to obtain the energy flow rule during TRP process. The results show that the ROM achieves good accuracy with critical feature errors within 10%. Compared to the FEM, the simulation duration is reduced by 40%. The model can greatly improve the calculation efficiency while predicting the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the battery. This work facilitates the efficient computation of TRP simulations for energy storage batteries and the design of safety protection for energy storage battery systems. |
