Lithium-Ion Battery Modeling in GT-SUITE and AutoLion

As automotive fuel consumption and emissions regulations become more stringent on vehicle manufacturers, vehicle electrification is necessary to comply with regulations. In the aerospace industry, the electrification of auxiliary systems, and even powertrain, is advancing. For the power generation and transmission industry, challenges due to the cyclic nature of renewable energy sources require effective energy storage capabilities.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology has proven to be a flexible and effective solution for energy storage in each of these industries. In this webinar, you will learn how GT-SUITE and AutoLion address key challenges of Li-ion battery development and simulation at every step of the battery development cycle.

Topics include:

Cell Design and Optimization using AutoLion
Electro-thermal battery modeling using GT-SUITE
Electrochemical-thermal battery modeling using GT-SUITE and AutoLion-GT
