Description

Exothermia is a software company which offers simulation software solutions to the transport section.

The decarbonization of the transport sector is heavily relying on affordability and safety of batteries. Today, battery development is mostly based on trial-and-error processes, which are non-optimal in terms of time and cost.

The objective of the R&D-project DIBAG is to develop and commercialize an innovative simulation tool for batteries used in electrified vehicles. The software will be used to generate digital twins of battery cells, modules and packs, using physics-based models. It is believed that digitalization of battery testing (through simulation methods and tools) is expected to reduce battery development time, increase quality of battery assessment, and improve the battery design itself, - and DIBAG constitutes such a tool.

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki will be a project partner on the DIBAG project. More specific, The Laboratory of Applied Physics’ centre of Excellence for Future Vehicle Environmental Performance (FuVEP) will contribute to the project with necessary experimental testing work. They will support the work with parameterization and validation of the simulation software developed by the promoter.

The project will result in the creation of 1 new ICT solution. Exothermia will also increase its revenues and competitiveness.
