This optimization aims to provide a hybrid battery solution with :
- High peak power density
- Cost reduction (up to 50%)
- Weight reduction (up to 25%)
- Carbon footprint reduction
The tool allows using the powertrain model of an electric vehicle (car, truck, boats, …) to compute a battery load profile from a velocity profile. For other application (e.g. stationary energy storage systems), the tool allows direct uploading of a custom battery load profile. In both case, this battery load profile is then analyzed to compare between monotype and hybrid battery configurations, the optimal choice of battery chemistry, the optimal layout of the battery system (series-parallel arrangement), the optimal power-splitting strategy, etc. The powertrain model can then ben updated with the sized battery system, allowing to test the vehicle model with a new velocity profile scenario.
The actual carbon footprint calculation includes the raw material extraction and manufacturing phase but not yet the use phase (live cycle).
The main benefits of the tool are therefore :
- Evaluating the battery load profile of your application when:
- No measurements are available
- For new/unknown velocity profile scenario
- The vehicle is not yet electrified (estimation based on a new e‑powertrain model)
- Finding optimal battery configuration, chemistry selection, sizing and layout
- Allowing verification of the sized battery for additional velocity profile scenarios
Full version additional features :
- Vehicle Powertrain Models parametrization
- Upload custom velocity and battery load profile
- More velocity profiles available
- More cell chemistries and capacities available
- Tractor Powertrain Model detailed results
- Carbon footprint parametrization (grid carbon footprint, quantity of material used, …)
