Description
SELFIE is a 4 year-long European research and innovation project conducted by ten partners collaborate to develop and demonstrate a novel thermal management system (TMS) and control, implemented at a full scale electric vehicle. The TMS is comprised of a smart modular battery pack, with excellent internal thermal conductivity properties, a refrigerant cooling system and thermal storage system capable of absorbing excess heat due to fast charging, thoroughly insulated from the outside. The battery TMS is capable of keeping the battery temperature effectively within the optimal window. SELFIE aims on providing high efficiency and performance both on the battery cells, in order to ensure system longevity and cost-reductions, without compromising the passenger comfort during cabin cooling/heating operations at extreme ambient conditions. The SELFIE project will significantly increase user acceptance of Electric Vehicles by enabling fast-charging, offering significant cost reductions and elimination of range anxiety compared to other propulsion technologies.
