BATTERY DESIGN STUDIO FEATURES

• Compute important attributes of a new cell designs, such as nominal capacity, open circuit voltage or total mass, using the electrode dimensions and electrochemistry parameters
• Understand the sensitivity of a defined cell to the manufacturing variability of underlying parameters, e.g. variable electrode porosity or active particle size
• Simulate the electrochemical response of a cell to a given load, whether power or current, and optimize a design to reduce the total mass or improve the capacity of the cell Understand and visualize the underlying phenomena that limit the rate capability or capacity of a cell design, which may be a limitation of the active material, electrolyte or current path
• Create equivalent circuit models, which capture the response to load of a tested cell, by reading in test data and automatically regressing parameters to populate the circuit model
• Finally, complete a cell design which can then be passed to STAR-CCM+ to represent the cell in a detailed three-dimensional model. It can also be multiplied to create a module or pack
