Abstract

Safety analysis of Li+ batteries is crucial to ensure the reliable and secure operation of EVs. Lithium batteries serve as a significant source of power for transportation systems, but they are prone to various hazardous failures when used in EVs. Improper usage, exceeding the defined operational limits, design and manufacturing defects may result in thermal runaway, fire or explosion. Therefore, identification and mitigation of hazardous battery failure modes and their effects are necessary to control or eliminate the occurrence of catastrophic events during EV operation. This paper presents a method to identify and categorize the failure modes according to the mode criticality of failure based on FMECA. A risk matrix is prepared to distinguish failure modes based on their severity and probability of occurrence and to suggest appropriate mitigation techniques to reduce or eliminate the failure mechanisms that affect the safety and reliability of the battery, leading to catastrophic events. This analysis identifies the causes of battery failures and helps develop strategies to prevent them, ensuring safety and performance throughout design, development, and operation stages.
