Building a Battery Pack - Dr. Gavin White (About:Energy)
Description
How battery modeling saves unnecessary investments and time! Today, we are talking to Gavin White (CEO About:Energy), a #battery software company from London. About:Energy operates an interesting business model!
(1) The startup is testing numerous commercially available battery cells in order to publish reliable data for European OEMs. Prior to a purchase deal between a car OEM and a cell manufacturer, About:Energy's data is an important external opinion, checking the battery's datasheet. The cell library "Voltt" serves as a cell library, battery producers may get licensed to.
(2) About:Energy helps manufacturers with their cell modelings, directly! By this approach, the lifespan of fresh cells could be prolonged. The cell models suggest different paths in research and development. Plus, they can reveal new unique selling points for the manufacturer.
Moreover, About:Energy offers a Battery #Pack configurator: Apparently, lots of European OEMs still struggle to build their battery packs without any help of modeling. About:Energy's solution, the configurator, provides reliable pack data such as temperatures, current flows, voltage models and physical circuit suggestions, so framework conditions and safety requirements can be met.
