Comsol has released a Batteries and Fuel Cells Module for the Comsol Multiphysics modelling and simulation environment.
This expansion module provides a full set of tools for the set-up, simulation and study of all major electrochemical batteries and fuel cells, including lithium-ion batteries, nickel metal-hydride batteries, solid oxide fuel cells and proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
With the Batteries and Fuel Cells Module, engineers, scientists and researchers can investigate in detail the influence of different materials, geometric configurations and operating conditions on the performance of batteries and fuel cells quickly and accurately.
The module enables integrators and developers of batteries, fuel cell components and fuel cell stacks in industries such as transportation, green energy and consumer electronics to obtain accurate and reliable simulation results quickly.
The Comsol Multiphysics environment is engineered to facilitate the simulation of multiple, coupled physical phenomena, making it an ideal platform for simulating the behaviour of batteries and fuel cells where multiple, coupled physical mechanisms are present.
The Batteries and Fuel Cells Modules extends Comsol Multiphysics with predefined couplings of electrochemical reactions, flow, heat transfer and electric fields.
Users leverage this combination to quickly set up and model the behaviour of their battery and fuel cell designs using real-world materials and operating conditions.
