High-Voltage Contactors (HVCs) are critical for ensuring safe and efficient power switch disconnection in electric vehicles (EVs). Integral to Battery Disconnect Units / BDU, HVCs safeguard against potential hazards by disconnecting batteries during fault conditions, while also maintaining stability and safety during load variations and energy redistribution.

Join this webinar at next week’s Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, presented by TDK, where we will explore the engineering advancements necessary for creating robust switching solutions and provide guidance on selecting the right HVC for your specific design needs in emerging high-voltage applications.

Modeling Battery Degradation In COMSOL Multiphysics®

Battery systems often face challenges from various degradation mechanisms, which can lead to reduced efficiency, capacity fade, and even failure over time, ultimately impacting the performance and lifespan of the battery. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software enables the modeling of electrochemical degradation by incorporating arbitrary side reactions, such as solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, lithium plating, hydrogen and oxygen evolution, metal corrosion, and more. Additionally, it supports the simulation of mechanical and chemical degradation across different battery chemistries.

In this webinar, we will discuss the capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® for modeling degradation in batteries and demonstrate the process of building and running a capacity fade model.
