Advancing Battery Safety: From Cells to Packs 

In battery system design, ensuring safety remains at the forefront of priorities. Addressing challenges like thermal runaway and its propagation within battery packs is vital for designing and manufacturing safe, reliable products. AcuSolve 2023 incorporates capabilities to model both thermal runaway within battery cells and its subsequent propagation across the system. Further, this release also broadens its modeling scope, transitioning from single battery modules to encompassing the intricacies of full battery pack simulations. 

 

Key Highlights

• Battery Thermal Runaway and Propagation: Model thermal runaway events within battery modules and trace their propagation effects on surrounding cells. This feature ensures designs align with safety standards, addressing potential risks. 
• Battery Pack Modeling: Transition from modeling isolated modules to simulating comprehensive battery packs. AcuSolve 2023 facilitates this leap with unique module identification via the M#S#P# format. Moreover, it retains the familiar electrical input parameters—current, power, c-rate, and standard charging profiles—ensuring consistent analysis from the module to the pack level.
