In real-world driving scenarios of electric vehicles, the C-rate fluctuates with changes in speed, and a Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) design that does not account for a range of C-rates may fail to ensure thermal safety of the battery. In this study, we statistically analyzed the effects of cooling plate geometry and coolant velocity on battery thermal behavior using Design of Experiments (DoE) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) across various C-rates. The ANOVA results by C-rate demonstrate that the influence of design factors on BTMS thermal behavior varies with the C-rate.
