Batteries & Fuel Cells Module

The Batteries & Fuel Cells Module is the latest addition to this company’s Multiphysics modeling and simulation environment. It provides a full set of easy-to-use tools for the set-up, simulation and study of all major electrochemical batteries and fuel cells, including lithium-ion batteries, nickel metal-hydride batteries, solid oxide fuel cells, and proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. With the new module, developers and integrators of batteries, fuel cell components and fuel cell stacks can obtain accurate and reliable simulation results to quickly and accurately evaluate the influence of different materials, geometric configurations, and operating conditions on the performance of batteries and fuel cells. For instance, users can model the behavior of their battery and fuel cell designs as a function of such real-world attributes as free and porous media flow, the distribution of hydrogen or oxygen concentration over the electrode, or sophisticated tempering concepts.
