Abstract: To maintain a healthy and safe battery, the Battery Management System (BMS) require numerous sensors which is a costly process. Immersion cooling applications where the battery stack is cooled with a dielectric coolant fluid has complex flow patterns that are not modeled easily without high fidelity modeling. The present disclosure provides a solution by combining physics-based and data-driven techniques. Initially, a first reduced subspace and a second first reduced subspace are extracted from the high-fidelity or full-order model (FOM) data with the help of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) in offline. Further, the dynamics of the reduced spaces (first reduced subspace and the second reduced subspace) are captured by computing the reduced coefficients. The reduced coefficients are computed by solving the reduced order equations. The reduced model is solved in the same manner as the high-fidelity or FOM model. The reduced-order solution is constructed once the reduced coefficients are obtained.
