Predictive Efficiency Modeling for Lithium-Ion Cells at Various Relative Charge and Discharge C Rates for Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration
The Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project aims to enhance battery efficiency by studying various Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) cell types. These cells are analyzed under different charging and discharging rates (C rates) to simulate a range of scenarios. As the EPFD project focuses on developing a sustainable hybrid/electric aircraft, it is essential to evaluate the efficiency, energy density, and weight of various battery cells. This ensures safety, reliability and optimal travel distance of the aircraft.
