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 […]
What Happens During Battery Thermal Runaway? As the world continues to move towards a more sustainable future, so does the popularity of electric vehicles. While the benefits of electric vehicles are many, one of the key challenges is ensuring that the battery packs used in these vehicles are safe and reliable. In the context of […]
Streamlining BEV Drive Cycles Welcome to the second blog of this two-part series on how simulation platforms such as GT-SUITE can streamline the various drive cycles of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to determine the range and adjustment factors. Read part one to learn more about how electric vehicle (EV) range guidelines are currently determined here. […]
At Gamma Technologies, the goal of our battery suite simulation solutions, through GT-SUITE and GT-AutoLion, is to provide accurate, high-fidelity battery simulation capabilities for reliable prediction of real-world performance. In this blog, I investigate how battery simulation runtime can be saved running hundreds of design optimizations using distributed computing. Depending on the modeling requirements, some […]
Simulating Battery Packs – Not All Cells are the Same When simulating a large battery module, typically we assume that all the cells in the module are going to be the same. However, that is not always the case. Factors such as the capacities and resistances of the cell can vary from cell-to-cell. This brings […]
