Alongside the rapid electrification of the automotive industry, global OEMs are accelerating their plans and efforts to develop new battery technologies. Governments aim to ban the sale of new internal combustion engines as soon as 2030, battery performance and lifetime need to be improved to accelerate this transition. Battery development is expensive, time-consuming and carbon-intensive due to the reliance on physical testing and prototyping. The requirements for high-quality data, expensive equipment and expertise pose a significant barrier for new entrants into the industry. Activities such as cell selection, system design and ageing tests require many months or even years to build a good grounding and understanding of the batteries in question. Modelling and virtual iteration can be used to speed up this battery development. However, while current battery software platforms offer modelling solutions, they do not provide insight on the underlying physical properties of batteries. This insight, together with high-precision testing is needed to bring new innovations to market for state-of-the-art and next-generation batteries. About:Energy has commercialized research developed within Faraday Institution research projects to characterise the electrical, electrochemical and thermal properties of a battery. This project will develop advanced battery ageing testing procedures and models with Imperial College London, aiming to reduce the total cost of ownership of Arrival’s commercial vehicle fleet. Centralising bespoke testing methods reduces the barriers that hinder the adoption of models. “The Voltt” is being created to speed-up battery development, while enabling design optimisation based on energy, power, and lifetime. The Voltt will offer access to specific battery datasets and models that can be used in existing modelling software, streamlining the enhancement of battery performance from the design stages to end-of-life.

除了汽车行业的快速电气化外，全球OEM正在加快他们开发新电池技术的计划和努力。政府旨在在2030年立即禁止出售新的内部组合发动机，需要改善电池性能和寿命以加速这种过渡。由于依赖物理测试和原型制作，电池开发昂贵，耗时和碳密集型。高质量数据，昂贵的设备和专家的要求对进入该行业的新条目构成了重大障碍。诸如细胞选择，系统设计和衰老测试之类的活动需要数月甚至几年的时间才能建立对相关电池的良好基础和理解。建模和虚拟迭代可用于加快电池开发。但是，尽管当前的电池软件平台提供了建模解决方案，但它们并未提供有关电池基础物理特性的见解。需要这种洞察力以及高精度测试，以将最新和下一代电池的新创新带入市场。关于：Energy在Faraday机构研究项目中开发了商业化研究，以表征电池的电气，电化学和热能性能。该项目将与伦敦帝国学院一起开发先进的电池老化测试程序和模型，旨在减少到达商用车舰队的总拥有成本。集中定制测试方法减少了阻碍模型采用的障碍。正在创建“伏特”来加速电池的开发，同时根据能量，功率和寿命实现设计优化。 Voltt将提供可以在现有建模软件中使用的特定电池数据集和型号的访问权限，从而简化了设计阶段的电池性能到寿命的增强。
