Twaice is a Munich-based company in Germany, that produces digital solutions for battery managers on a cloud. The company says it hopes to promote transformation to a cleaner, greener, battery-powered world. Elecdrive confirms that Twaice has developed a sodium-ion software simulation product, to track the aging of these upcoming batteries. This could become hugely important, if sodium-ion chemistry replaces lithium-ion.
More About The Sodium-Ion Software Simulation Model
The electric vehicle industry needs an alternative to unstable lithium-ion chemistry, that is stretched close to the limit. Sodium increasingly appears to be a viable alternative, although uncertainty over its aging profile is holding back mass adoption.
There are a number of benefits to sodium-ion compared to lithium-ion chemistry, of which the following are premium:
- Sodium-ion batteries can outperform lithium-ion in terms of stability, safety, lifespan,and.output at low temperature.
- Moreover, the sodium-based charge carrier comprises abundantly available materials that are easier to extract.
However, many battery operators are still uncertain, because they cannot monitor what is happening inside the battery cases. This is where the new computer-based sodium-ion software simulation comes into play, because it promises to reveal sodium-ion dynamics in real time.
But There Will Be Benefits for Other Players Too
We understand that Twaice software also works on lithium-ion batteries. Researchers exploring both chemistries will gain insights that could shorten research time.
Those several benefits we mentioned could streamline the adoption of sodium-ion batteries, and potentially safer lithium-ion too. This could help lower the prices that energy customers pay.
Twaice founded in 2018 as a spin-off from a Technical University of Munich project. We understand the company is already a market leader in artificial intelligence-based battery analytics.
We live in exciting times, as batteries enter a golden age of energy storage. We wish the company and its 140 employees every success, as they move the frontiers of battery science forward.
