Abstract: The “Composite Battery Module” project aimed
to reevaluate existing housing designs for battery modules
in electric vehicles and to explore alternative construction
methods using composite materials. The development of a
prototype began with a general observation and
characterization of a pouch cell, extending these findings
to the module level, and encapsulating them in a
component-specific requirements system. Based on these
conditions, the presented housing concept was developed,
with particular attention paid to the “Integrated
Connection and Cooling Plate” (ICCP), which combines the
defining features within a single component.
