Simscape Battery™ provides design tools and parameterized models for designing battery systems. You can create digital twins, run virtual tests of battery pack architectures, design battery management systems, and evaluate battery system behavior across normal and fault conditions.
Battery Pack Model Builder is a design tool that lets you interactively evaluate different battery pack architectures. The tool automates the creation of simulation models that match the desired pack topology and includes cooling plate connections so electrical and thermal responses can be evaluated.
Parameterized models of battery packs and battery management systems demonstrate operations, including cell balancing and state of charge estimation. You can use these examples to determine cell requirements, perform trade-off analyses and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and generate readable and efficient C/C++ code.
Battery Cells
Model electrothermal behavior in battery cells. Include charge dynamics, aging, thermal, and heat transfer effects. Parameterize cells based on manufacturer data sheets.
Battery Packs
Generate Simscape battery pack models using MATLAB® commands. Define pack architecture, model heat transfer, visualize layout, and customize model fidelity.
Cooling Plates
Model cooling plates with customizable fluid paths and thermal connections to the battery pack. Explore cell-to-cell temperature variation and measure cooling efficiency.
Battery Management
Develop algorithms for state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) estimation, cell balancing, and thermal management. Generate code for use in embedded controllers.
Virtual Testing
Verify system behavior under conditions that cannot be easily tested with hardware prototypes. Run sets of tests in parallel on a multicore workstation or a cluster.
Model Deployment
Convert your Simscape model to C code to test control algorithms. Run HIL tests on dSPACE®, Speedgoat, OPAL-RT, and other real-time systems before performing physical tests.
Simscape Platform
Test integration of electrical, thermal, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems in a single environment. Identify integration issues and optimize system-level performance.
MATLAB and Simulink
Use MATLAB to automate tasks such as model assembly, testing, and data post-processing. Use Simulink® to integrate control algorithms and hardware design in a single environment.
From Research To Production
Use Simscape models to refine requirements, design control systems, test embedded controllers, and support in-service operation as a digital twin.
