Battery Design Simulation Success Stories | Free eBook

Modelling and simulation is the key to efficient battery design and development. Designers and researchers from around the world use multiphysics simulation to analyse batteries from the microscale to the pack scale in order to optimise existing designs and develop innovative technologies.

Read Battery Design eBook

Modelling and simulation gives design engineers and researchers the ability to look inside the battery in a way that is not possible via direct measurements or experimental testing. Multiphysics simulation, in particular, is well suited for overcoming common battery design challenges such as balancing energy density, power density, charging time, life, cost and sustainability concerns. In this eBook, you will meet four teams from around the world that use multiphysics simulation for battery design innovation.

Read about how IAV combined sodium-ion and solid-state lithium iron phosphate battery technologies in a twin-battery design concept to open up new possibilities for car manufacturers and battery designers. In another story, explore a pseudo-3D model of a semisolid flow battery, developed by researchers at the Flemish Institute for Technical Research and KU Leuven, to predict how flow rate affects particle discharge and how cell voltage changes during the discharge process.

You will also learn about how the R&D division of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is using multiphysics simulation to evaluate and prevent dendrite formation in lithium-ion batteries. Finally, you will see how a university research centre is using simulation to investigate stacking of lithium-ion cells during the fabrication of high-end battery systems.

This eBook also shares a few articles that cover battery design challenges, thermal management systems for EV batteries and improving battery design for eVTOL aircraft.
