to select better materials to go
in their batteries, or making
tweaks to the design of their
batteries, our technology helps
them get verification about the
effectiveness of those chang-
es...in weeks, rather than wait-
ing for up to a year or more,”
said St Baker.
Novonix was born out of the
clear market value that Burns
and Stevens saw in their HPC
technology.
“Enough big companies
came knocking on the door
that we decided to start the
company and build this tech-
nology,” Burns said.
Starting the company turned
out to be a smart move. No-
vonix currently sells its HPC
technology to high-profile
customers around the globe,
including the top five bat-
tery manufacturers in the
world: Panasonic, CATL, LG,
Samsung, and SK Innovation.The stage of the load cycle, potential, local concentration,
temperature, and direction of the current all affect the
aging and degradation of a battery cell. This is important to
consider when developing autonomous vehicles (AVs), which
rely on a large number of electronic components to function.
When designing long-lasting batteries that are powerful
enough to keep up with energy demands, engineers can turn
to simulation.The COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used for simulating
designs, devices, and processes in all fields of engineering,
manufacturing, and scientific research. See how you can
apply it to optimizing battery designs for self-driving cars.Autonomous vehicles require
batteries with lasting power.
