    摘要: Techniques are provided for operating a computing system in a peak power mode while avoiding increased degradation of a battery. The peak power mode include cycles with peak and off-peak currents. The amplitude and duration of the peak and off-peak currents are governed by a thermal/heat budget of the battery. A processor can read the battery information during usage and calculate one or more parameters which are derived from heat. If a parameter is smaller than a reference value, the processor can update the peak power parameters to provide an increase in peak current/power and/or duration. If a parameter is larger than the reference value, no heat budget is available to provide an increase in peak current/power and/or duration. The thermal/heat budget can be enforced over each cycle of the peak power mode or in a summation over multiple cycles.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing cooling and fire suppression for battery modules of an aircraft. One embodiment described herein provides an aircraft including a plurality of battery modules and a battery thermal management system. Each battery of the plurality of battery modules includes a housing. The battery thermal management system includes a storage vessel containing a cooling propellant, a conduit fluidly coupling the storage vessel to an interior of the housing of each of the plurality of battery modules, a vessel valve controlling a flow rate of the cooling propellant from the storage vessel to the conduit, and a venting system. The venting system includes one or more nozzles extending to an exterior of the aircraft and in fluid communication with the interior of the housing of each of the plurality of battery modules. The one or more nozzles direct the cooling propellant to the exterior of the aircraft.
