Battery Design Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics®

If you are looking to learn how to model batteries with the COMSOL Multiphysics^® software, this is the course for you. During the 4-day Battery Modeling course, we will discuss how the Battery Design Module provides several new features and improved functionality for battery design and analysis.

We will look into the underlying physics that are important for understanding a battery system, such as transport of charged and neutral species, charge balances, chemical and electrochemical reactions, Joule heating and thermal effects due to electrochemical reactions, heat transfer, fluid flow, and more.

Through training exercises, you will learn about the Battery Design Module's predefined interfaces, which feature functionality for modeling different complexity levels, from the detailed structures in the battery's porous electrode to the battery pack scale, including thermal management systems. You will learn how to analyze the influence of various design parameters, such as the choice of materials, dimensions, and particle sizes of the active material, and how to incorporate various aging mechanisms.

We will also discuss transient methods such as potential step, current interrupt, and impedance spectroscopy and how, by using these techniques and parameter estimation, you can make very accurate estimations of the state of health of a battery system.
