Introduction: With the development of the new energy vehicle industry, the research aims to improve the energy utilization efficiency of electric vehicles by optimizing their composite power supply parameters.

Methods: An optimization model based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II was designed to optimize the parameters of liquid cooling structure of vehicle energy storage battery. The objective function and constraint conditions in the optimization process were defined to maximize the heat dissipation performance of the battery by establishing the heat transfer and hydrodynamic model of the electrolyzer.

Results: The results showed that the optimization method had excellent performance on multiple evaluation indicators, the material degradation rate after optimization was reduced by 42%, the corrosion rate was reduced by 36%, and the battery life was increased by 17%. The optimization method ensured the maximum temperature control for the safe operation of the lithium-ion battery pack. The temperature of the battery pack was effectively controlled. The temperature difference was kept within 5°C, preventing the battery from overheating and extending its service life.

Discussion: The proposed liquid cooling structure design can effectively manage and disperse the heat generated by the battery. This method provides a new idea for the optimization of the energy efficiency of the hybrid power system. This paper provides a new way for the efficient thermal management of the automotive power battery.
