Abstract：Power battery packs are widely used in new energy electric vehicles and are the core components of electric vehicles. Studying the temperature field modeling of the power battery pack is not only beneficial to understanding its temperature field dynamic characteristics, but is also very important for the structural design and health management of the power battery pack. The temperature field of the power battery pack is described by complex partial differential equations. Since a large number of parameters are unknown and many model parameters show strong time variability, traditional physics-based modeling methods are ineffective in achieving online modeling of the temperature field of the power battery pack. Although methods based on deep learning do not rely on physical models, they require a large amount of experimental data during the training process, the model training time is long, and the real-time performance of temperature field prediction is poor. In response to the above problems, this paper proposes a spatio-temporal modeling of the temperature field of power battery packs based on long short-term memory network. First, the spatio-temporal separation method is used to extract spatial features and time features under offline conditions. Spatial features are continuously updated with the help of incremental learning, and the long short-term memory (LSTM) network is used to model temporal dynamics. Finally, the updated spatial characteristics and time model are integrated to obtain a prediction model of the power battery pack temperature field. The proposed method was verified on a power battery pack composed of 24 battery cells. Experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately predict the temperature field of the power battery pack regardless of normal conditions or conditions with air flow interference. Without airflow interference, the single-point temperature prediction error of the proposed method is less than 0.4℃, and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) on the test set is 0.095 1℃. In the presence of airflow interference, the single-point temperature prediction error of the proposed method is less than 0.07℃, and the RMSE on the test set is 0.014 7℃.Under the condition of air flow, the modeling error of the proposed method is smaller. This is because under the condition of air flow interference, the spatial gradient of the temperature change of the power battery pack at the same time is smaller, that is, the temperature change is gentler, making the spatial characteristics of the modeling smoother. The following conclusions can be drawn from the simulation analysis: (1) the proposed method can accurately predict the temperature field of the power battery pack regardless of normal conditions or conditions with air flow interference. (2) The proposed method can update spatial features in real time through incremental learning, thereby reducing the computational complexity of the method. (3) The proposed method is a purely data-driven method that does not rely on accurate partial differential equations and is therefore suitable for application in temperature field modeling of actual power battery packs.
