BATTERY CELL SIMULATION 

IMPROVING QUALITY FOR BMS

Optimize Battery Design and Improve Electric Vehicle Performance with a Battery Cell Simulator

Key Benefits

Accurately Predicts Battery Behavior

Battery cell simulators use a combination of electrochemical models and empirical data to simulate the behavior of lithium-ion battery cells. This allows for accurate predictions of battery performance under different operating conditions

 ​Optimizes battery designs 

Battery cell simulators can be used to evaluate the effect of different battery design parameters on battery performance, such as electrode thickness and porosity. This provides insights into the optimal design of battery systems for EV applications

 ​Improves EV performance

By optimizing battery designs and evaluating battery performance, EV manufacturers can improve the performance of their vehicles. This can include increasing range, reducing charging time, and improving overall efficiency

Saves time and resources

 Using a battery cell simulator can save time and resources by reducing the need for physical testing of battery cells. This allows for faster and more cost-effective development of battery systems for EV applications

Battery Cell Simulator

The ALIARO Battery Cell Simulator (BCS) empowers users to verify the Battery Management System (BMS) functionality. It simulates both the battery cells and sensors to ensure that your communication, safety functions, cell balancing, and fault monitoring algorithms work as expected.
