BUP16 - ANBat²

Current lithium-ion battery technology has established itself as a game changer for electromobility. Driven by the expected growth of the electrified vehicle market and the increasing demands on batteries, e.g., higher energy density and lower cost, numerous next-generation battery technologies are nevertheless being explored.

Each of these potential cell chemistries usually requires a fundamental rethinking of the cell design and thus impacts the integration of the cells into the higher levels of the battery system. The key to increasing transformability in product development is to understand and elucidate early on the progress of battery technologies and the associated development opportunities and risks in the context of mobility systems.

Aim and approach

The project aims to elaborate the key interactions of next-generation battery technologies on battery (system) development for automotive applications:

• Selection and investigation of next generation battery technologies.
• Identification of the influenced components in the battery module and system
• Identification of relevant dependencies across different domains
• Scenario-based creation and evaluation of the target system using new cell chemistry technologies for battery cell, module and system designParallel to this, a model-based methodology will be developed and an associated system model built for systematic impact analysis.
