Using Battery Models to Optimize Performance

Battery systems have an impact on an overall system’s uptime, lifespan, thermal stability and product safety, making battery performance a crucial aspect of a system’s design. High-fidelity battery models can assist in providing accurate estimates of realistic battery behavior and model-based techniques can give physics-based answers to important questions in the design process. With the MapleSim Battery Library, battery powered systems can be modeled far quicker than with traditional techniques, while still preserving accuracy for meaningful results.

This paper highlights three industry stories ranging from high-performance to high-efficiency applications. Each story helps outline the ways that battery models and a system-level modeling approach gives companies the ability to make better decisions during their design process.
