What is it about?
This study investigates the thermal behavior of a lithium-ion battery module used in residential PV systems for stationary energy storage. Through experimental testing under various charging and discharging cycles, the authors analyze temperature distribution and identify critical thermal patterns. The findings reveal how different current levels, and operational conditions affect temperature rise within the module. The results are essential for improving battery management systems, ensuring safety, and extending battery lifespan in real-world applications.

Why is it important?
As lithium-ion batteries become key components of home energy systems, understanding their thermal performance is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Overheating can reduce performance or even pose safety risks. This research offers practical data for designing better thermal management strategies, improving battery reliability, and guiding manufacturers and installers of solar-plus-storage systems. It also supports the development of more effective control algorithms for smart home energy systems.
Perspectives
This work is part of my broader focus on ensuring that distributed energy technologies are not only efficient but also safe and durable. By exploring the thermal characteristics of lithium-ion batteries under realistic operating conditions, we provide insights that bridge experimental analysis and practical design. It reflects my interest in multidisciplinary approaches that link energy systems, electronics, and thermal engineering.
