Digital twinning of future battery technologies (DIBAG)

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif"><span style="color: #000000">The transport sectors decarbonization heavily depends on the affordability and safety of batteries. Current battery development processes are largely based on trial-and-error processes, which are inefficient both in terms of time and cost. Existing simulation tools already in the market have significant limitations in predictive modeling of new materials and designs, ageing mechanisms, and multiscale integration from component to system level. The proposed project aims to address these needs. </span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif"><span style="color: #000000">Exothermia, a software engineering company, is developing a simulation tool called DIBAG to digitalize battery testing for electric vehicles. The R&amp;D-project aims to reduce battery development time, increase assessment quality, and improve the battery design itself. The software will generate digital twins of battery cells, modules, and packs using physics-based models. The project involves two main activities: Software Product development and Testing &amp; Software validation.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif"><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="color: #000000">The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki’s Laboratory of Applied Physics’ center of Excellence for Future Vehicle Environmental Performance (FuVEP) will partner on the project, providing necessary experimental testing work to support the software’s parameterization and validation.</span></span><span style="color: #000000"> The project is expected to result in the creation of 1 new ICT solution and increase Exothermia`s revenues and competitiveness.</span></span></span></span></p>
