MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611064602 A) filed by Chandigarh University on May 22, 2026, for Predictive Thermal Runaway Mitigation System For Battery Modules.
Inventor includes Bebesh Tripathy.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a predictive thermal runaway prevention system and method for electrochemical battery modules. The system comprises a thermochromatic sensing layer configured to generate a visual thermal gradient corresponding to temperature variations within a battery assembly, an optical image acquisition assembly configured to capture thermal gradient images, and a data processing unit configured to generate a two-dimensional thermal map from the captured images. A machine learning engine analyzes spatial and temporal thermal characteristics to identify thermal anomalies, classify fault conditions, predict thermal propagation behavior, and calculate a Time-to-Critical-Temperature (TTCT) parameter. Based on predictive outputs, a control and actuation unit initiates targeted thermal mitigation actions including localized cooling, power limitation, warning generation, or emergency shutdown. The system further includes a secure thermal event logging subsystem for forensic analysis and predictive maintenance, thereby improving battery safety, reliability, and thermal management efficiency
