What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) support the deployment of renewable power generation while improving the overall efficiency, reliability, and economic viability of these technologies.

Why is battery traceability important?

Implementing battery traceability throughout the battery production lifecycle tackles carbon emissions effectively from the start. Dassault Systèmes is a leading expert in battery traceability, reshaping the energy future through our deep expertise and platform-driven solutions.

Can tracing be used in battery cell production?

Traceability concepts are already being used in other industries such as food and pharmaceuticals and are showing their full potential for detecting and eliminating defects. [9, 10] However, tracking and tracing approaches have not yet been transferred to battery cell production.

Does electrode-sheet-based calculation of battery cells based on a traceability system work?

The fluctuations in the calculated and measured capacities of the battery cells can thus be explained. In summary, the results show that the electrode-sheet-based calculation of the capacities using the integrated traceability system is close to the actual measured values with minor deviations.

What is a traceability system?

The presented traceability system consists of two basic components tracking and tracing. Here, tracking is the unique identification of each individual intermediate product, while tracing is the allocation of process and product data. For this purpose, it is necessary to know when and where an intermediate product is located in the production line.

How does the integrated traceability system work?

The integrated traceability system has proven its validity on two different production lines at different TRLs. This enables multiple use cases in parallel. High-quality and reproducible cells can thus be achieved on small production lines through a targeted selection of suitable intermediate products with good quality.
