A New Generation of Aging Models for Lithium-Ion Batteries

A New Generation of Aging Models for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Introduction
‍
The ongoing global energy transition, driven by the dual imperatives of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency, has catalyzed the rise of two essential fields: electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). At the heart of these innovative technologies lies an essential component — the battery system. Its performance, efficiency, and longevity significantly impact the overall functionality and viability of both EVs and ESS.
‍
Over the last years, scientists have invested a lot of time and resources to optimize semi-empirical, physico-chemical, and data-driven simulation models. All of them show different challenges and limitations. To overcome this dead end, scientists and engineers combine physicochemical-mechanical degradation effects and integrate them into (semi)-empirical as well as data-driven approaches. We call this combination physics-motivated semi-empirical aging models.
The whitepaper covers the following topics:
- The new TWAICEÂ simulation model portfolio:Â base model, customized base model, premium model
- The new generation of physics-motivated semi-empirical aging models:Â OCV aging, degradation modes, understanding the accuracy of models, simulation of swelling force
- Vision and outlook

What’s New in TWAICE Energy Analytics? Spring 2025 Product Webinar Recap
If you missed our latest product webinar—or just want the TL;DR—this blog post has you covered. We just wrapped up the second installment of our quarterly product webinar series, diving into everything new and exciting in TWAICE Energy Analytics for spring 2025. Let’s break it down.
How TWAICE’s Usable Energy Makes System Availability More Transparent
Availability is a widely used term in the battery energy storage industry and is fundamental to operations. It is often the first metric asset owners check when they see revenue decline. However, simply knowing the system’s availability does not provide any insights into how it can be improved. The real challenge remains: identifying the root cause of poor availability and knowing what actions to take.

Approaches to battery modeling
Batteries are complex systems whose operation is determined by a variety of factors, making long term projections a challenge. However, it is possible to understand the future conduct of these systems by building models that mimic their behavior and leverage the computational power to perform the required calculations.
