Exciting News!   Continuing with our series of updates on the #MODALT project, we are proud to announce its successful completion! Over the past two years, we've had the thrilling opportunity to collaborate with Zeleros, AIMPLAS · Instituto Tecnológico del Plástico, and ZIUR Composite Solutions to present a new high-performance battery module. This module is based on NCA cell chemistry and combines the use of high-performance thermoplastic composites for the casing with an advanced indirect cooling plate design.   What was our contribution?   At CMT, we conducted a comprehensive characterization of the cells selected for the project. This included analyzing the thermo-electrical behavior under different operating conditions, the response of the cells to thermal abuse and subsequent thermal runaway, as well as degradation due to cycle aging. This information has been instrumental in building numerical models that simulate the electrical and thermal behavior of the module under both normal and extreme operating conditions.   We employed both 1D and 3D modeling approaches:    - 1D models offer detailed thermal and electrical performance insights with minimal computational cost.  - 3D models provide a more in-depth analysis of thermal propagation, covering complex phenomena like gas venting and combustion. These numerical models are powerful tools that significantly enhance the design and development phases of next-generation battery systems, such as the one introduced in #MODALT.   This project has been co-funded by the European Union through #FEDER funds and the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad e Innovación IVACE +i (Generalitat Valenciana) #IVACE.   #Decarbonization #CMT #CleanMobility #Innovation #BatteryInnovation
