Recently, the automotive industry has experienced rapid growth in powertrain electrification, with more and more battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles being launched. Lithium-ion batteries play an important role due to their high energy capacity and power density, however they experience high heat generation in their operation, and if not properly cooled it can lead to serious safety issues as well as lower performance and durability. In that way, good prediction of a battery behavior is crucial for successful design and management. This paper presents a 1D electrochemical model development of a 144 Ah prismatic rolled cell using the GT-Autolion software with a pseudo 2D approach. The model correlation is done at cell level comparing model results and test data of cell open circuit voltage at different temperatures and voltage and temperature profile under different C-rates and ambient temperatures.
