This paper presents an integrated control strategy for fast charging and active thermal management of Lithium-ion batteries in extreme ambient temperatures. A control-oriented thermal-NDC (nonlinear double-capacitor) battery model is proposed to describe the electrical and thermal dynamics, accounting for the impact from both an active thermal source and ambient temperature. A state-feedback model predictive control algorithm is then developed for integrated fast charging and active thermal management. Numerical experiments validate the algorithm under extreme temperatures, showing that the proposed algorithm can energy-efficiently adjust the battery temperature to enhance fast charging. Additionally, an output-feedback model predictive control algorithm with an extended Kalman filter is proposed for battery charging when states are partially measurable. Numerical experiments validate the effectiveness under extreme temperatures.
