Optimizing the battery charging experience
Improve battery fast charging experience thanks to a simulation approach keeping an eye on battery aging
2019 was a prominent year for electric vehicles. The leading OEMs are now engaged in the e-race and customers are ready to adopt what is no longer a trend but a viable option for their daily commutes. The question of performance, maintenance costs, and range of EVs is becoming a thing of the past for customers, who are now focused on the time it takes to charge when taking their EV on a long drive.
Although engineers are now proposing fast charging capabilities, optimizing battery module charging control, they must deal with pack thermal management and premature aging prevention. The ultimate objective is to find the correct balance between these attributes.
During this webinar, you will see system simulation technology in action, as well as detailed cell electrochemical modeling to perform sensitivity analysis on fast charging scenarios. Next, cell geometrical design optimization will be performed to reach an optimal compromise between charge speed, cell temperature, and battery aging.
You will learn:
- Battery pack requirements definition using system simulation
- Cell geometry optimization for fast charging scenario
- Optimized cell equivalent model export back to system simulation
