Improve battery system design with battery simulation models

Batteries are a key technology in the transition to carbon-free mobility. When it comes to designing battery systems for electric products, batteries must meet certain requirements that must still be met after years of operation, in order to avoid jeopardizing the intended business case and damaging companies. TWAICE's simulation models help engineers make the right decisions fast when designing a battery system, leading to reduced risks, improved reliability, and faster time to market.

Electric fleet management

Electric Fleet Solutions

Most fleet managers in the public sector, and operators of larger commercial fleets are now opting for electric vehicles. Nevertheless, there are still some concerns about this new technology regarding battery failure costs. This is when battery analytics becomes a key-value driver to unleash the full potential of battery-powered fleets.

BMS vs Analytics

The lack of a standardized approach on how State of Health (SoH) should be calculated and the fact that on-board battery management systems (BMS) alone are not sufficient in assessing battery health over its entire lifetime, makes determining accurate battery SoH a challenge. However, these barriers can be overcome by deploying battery analytics.

LFP in energy storage

Lithium-ion batteries play an essential role in the transition to renewable energies and in generating electricity from more reliable and sustainable technologies. Even though NMC is currently the most mature existing technology, and it is therefore widely used, especially in the automotive industry, LFP technology is increasing in popularity due to cost and safety advantages.

Energy Storage Analytics

Battery storage systems are an essential component of the energy sector. However, they are complex systems that require special attention. The primary goal of storage owners is to maximize the profit possible from the storage system without taking on additional risk. This is where battery analytics comes into play.

Modeling capacity fade of li-ion batteries

Aging models are fundamental tools to optimize the application of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, we show that the CAP-method models capacity fade more accurately when applied to dynamic cyclic aging tests with periodically changing mean state-of-charge, depth-of-discharge, ambient temperature and discharge rates for a commercial NCA cell with a silicon-doped graphite anode.

Combining EIS and time-domain data

This work proposes a method to combine time-domain and frequency-domain measurement data for parameterization of RC elements by exploiting the full potential of the distribution of relaxation times (DRT).

Quantifiability of Cell-to-Cell Variations

Motivated by the question of why impedance variation is consistently reported to be higher than the variation of other parameters, we show that measuring inherent parameter variations caused by production tolerances is superimposed by effects of an imperfect measurement setup.
