Battery Management Systems
Developing new battery systems is a costly and time-intensive process. Through iterative development and rigorous testing of physical prototypes, and relying on post-mortems of limited accuracy, there is a limit to the degree of certainty which can be economically achieved through physical testing.
Ansys excels in the kind of rigorous analysis which builds confidence in battery management solutions, allowing reliable performance throughout the entire design process.
- Thermal Management – Detect exact points of failure through simulated results. Predict performance under simulated atmospheric conditions.
- State Estimation – algorithmically estimate state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) with electrochemical models
- Aging Prediction – Use Digital Twins and simulated lifecycles under various charge/discharge cycles to effectively evaluate durability over time and inform refurbishment and replacement strategy.
- System level integration – Co-simulate battery management systems with related systems to ensure robust performance in realistic operating conditions.
