Abstract
Battery management has emerged as an imperative field in the sustainable energy revolution. The operating temperature, voltage, and current are key factors in the comprehensive analysis of battery performance. The simulations investigate battery thermal behavior at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3C discharge rates under controlled ambient temperature (35°C). The 3C condition is considered the worst‐case discharge scenario because it generates the highest thermal load among the investigated operating conditions and is selected for further investigation. Among the tested coolants, the canola coolant yields the best results compared with air, 3M Novec, and cottonseed coolants. For canola coolant, the temperature range for LIB cells varies from 34.99°C to 38.98°C. The average temperatures observed for Cells 1 through 6 are 37.14°C, 37.23°C, 37.65°C, 37.63°C, 38.48°C, and 38.57°C, respectively. The maximum voltage recorded during all thermal simulations is 10.4 V, consistent with LIB module characteristics. Compared with (Air)

, the 3M Novec, cottonseed, and canola cooling media provide 37.75%, 38.36%, and 38.40% improvements in thermal performance. Although canola and cottonseed coolants are biodegradable and renewable, they exhibit densities that are 64.13% and 65.93% lower, respectively, than those of the conventional coolant (3M Novec). The lower density of biocoolants could be advantageous for fuel economy and overall battery performance. Additionally, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into the optimization process can substantially improve cooling system efficiency and can smooth real‐time thermal management.
