Battery Physical Parametrization with ECM and P2D Models

Powered by APEX AI OS — Physics

While developing highly accurate Equivalent Circuit Models (ECM) and Pseudo 2-Dimensional (P2D) models is critical for advanced battery design, manual parameterization remains a massive engineering bottleneck. Testing teams currently spend weeks painstakingly analyzing complex charge/discharge data and manually curve-fitting parameters across varying temperatures, SOCs, and C-rates — a process that introduces human error and severely delays time-to-market. Automated parameterization with the APEX Physics App eliminates this friction by rapidly ingesting cell data to speed up the process to build fully validated, ready-to-use models. By automating the parameter optimization process and model export, engineering teams can drastically accelerate battery development, guarantee robust performance across all operational windows, and confidently rely on comprehensive validation reports.

HOW IT WORKS
1. AI model support

Trained on 4,000+ real-life cycling tests and>10M material configurations, effectively learnswhat models and parameters to optimize bothECM and P2D modes based on test data.

2. Optimization

Minimal optimization adaptation to your specificcell chemistries and test protocols. Develop acustomer specific high-accuracy model to buildIP and your battery intelligence. Optimization isrun on cloud infrastructure to ensure highconvergence speed.

3. Simulation

Simulate any test conditions by using batterymeasurement templates or an LLM promptfunctionality that generates operating conditionsand profiles for simulation automatically.

USE CASES & BENEFITS
Rapid Cell Material Screening & Optimization

Automatically extracts parameters from test data to help evaluate how physicalchanges — like electrode thickness, porosity, or active material composition —impact cell performance across varying operating conditions.

Cross-context cell models, from BMS to power validation

Automatically optimize ECM models to match temperature, C-rate, SOC and SOHdependent operation condition matrices. Ready to use in BMS or thermal highpower validation during fast charge.

Advanced Aging and Degradation Analysis

Isolates specific degradation mechanisms early in the testing phase, allowingengineers to pinpoint exactly how and why a cell is failing under specific thermalor SOC conditions.

Cloud computing for parallelizable optimization

Benefit from Sphere energies cooperation with german based cloud providerStackIT, to speed up your calibration process.
