MapleSim Battery Library

Maplesoft announces the release of the MapleSim Battery Library, an add-on component library to its advanced system-level modeling tool. 

• Allows users to incorporate physics-based predictive models of battery cells into their multi-domain models so they can take battery behavior into account early in the design process 
• Can include battery behavior in system-level models, allowing users to understand how the battery will behave as part of the greater system
• Helps optimize battery and system performance, and reduce risk of undesirable effects such as battery overheating
• Supports both equivalent circuit and electrochemical battery models
• Includes parameter identification tools for determining model parameters from experimental data
• Can be used in any modeling project that involves batteries, including consumer electronics, electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, power electronics and energy storage in power generation applications
• Typical projects include battery load analysis and optimization to maximize the time between charges and State of Health effects on charge/discharge efficiency and thermal runaway
• Enables HIL testing of battery management systems, thermal modeling and cooling system optimization to stabilize battery temperature
