In the previous blog, we discussed how the underlying architecture of a battery management system (BMS) is very similar to our central nervous system. The BMS relies on sensors (sensory organs) to make real-time decisions to ensure safety and optimize performance of the battery pack. From a simulation perspective, this architecture provides the foundation for […]
Battery technology is evolving rapidly to meet the growing demands of electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage systems, and portable electronics. A major challenge lies in reliably predicting long-term battery performance within practical development timelines. Because batteries degrade gradually during both use and storage, conventional testing methods take a long time to produce accurate lifetime estimates. […]
Eliminate the Guess Work in Battery Modeling Selections System-level design engineers have a difficult task. They deal with challenging questions such as: What Lithium-ion cells work best for a particular application; How many cells should be placed in series and parallel; or What type of motor and drive technology should be used? They have to […]
Unlocking the Potential of eVTOL Aircraft for Taxi Services: Advancing On-Demand Transportation Safely and Efficiently The world is rapidly advancing towards an integrated and accessible on-demand transportation network. Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles have emerged as the ideal solution for the near future, offering faster and more efficient travel options. However, ensuring the […]
Learn how to predict battery lifetime and make confident battery warranty decisions by combining a minimal amount of available data with physics-based simulation software.
Learn how to use a model to evaluate battery pack safety during thermal runaway events Designers of battery packs are tasked with a very challenging problem: to package a set of cells as tightly as possible and minimize the amount of non-cell weight in the battery while maintaining proper temperature levels of cells, protecting against […]
