Lithium-ion batteries are celebrated for their high specific energy, long service life, and low self-discharge rates. However, ensuring their reliability and safety under various operating conditions is critical for their continued success in industrial applications. Digital twin technology, which creates a virtual replica of a physical entity, offers a promising solution by enabling real-time monitoring and optimization of battery performance. This technology facilitates interactive feedback, data fusion, and iterative optimization, thereby enhancing control, safety monitoring, and data analysis.
Previous efforts in digital twin technology for batteries have focused on frameworks for predicting remaining useful life and managing battery state estimation and balancing. However, these models often overlook certain internal behaviors of the battery, limiting their accuracy and effectiveness. The new research aims to overcome these limitations by developing a comprehensive digital twin model that accurately reflects the internal and external characteristics of lithium-ion batteries under complex working conditions. Researchers has developed a cutting-edge digital twin model that promises to enhance the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries through a novel mechanism-data fusion approach.
The research team has made significant strides in improving the simulation accuracy of lithium-ion batteries. By considering the impact of electrode particle size on battery characteristics, the researchers developed a detailed electrochemical model. This model was further enhanced by incorporating temperature distribution and particle-level stress, resulting in a comprehensive multi-particle size electrochemical-thermal-mechanical coupling model. The model was extended from individual cells to a 2P2S battery pack, accounting for the varying electrical and thermal effects among individual cells. This extension allows for more accurate simulations of battery pack behavior. The researchers proposed a novel algorithm that combines the least squares method and binary search to update model parameters. This algorithm enables the model to evolve based on real-time data, achieving a close approximation to the physical entity. The digital twin model demonstrated exceptional accuracy in simulating terminal voltage and shell temperature. Experimental results showed that the maximum mean absolute errors (MAEs) were limited to 25 mV for terminal voltage and 0.15 °C for shell temperature under 0.75 C constant current discharging and DST conditions.
The digital twin model's ability to accurately simulate battery performance under complex conditions opens up numerous practical applications. Potential uses include: ①Enhanced Battery Management Systems. The model can be integrated into battery management systems for electric vehicles, ensuring optimal performance and extending battery life. ②Improved Safety Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis: Accurate simulations enable better safety monitoring and fault diagnosis, reducing the risk of battery failures and accidents. ③Optimized Energy Storage Systems: The model can be used to optimize the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy storage systems, contributing to more sustainable energy solutions. Future research will focus on refining the optimization algorithm and reducing the data requirements, further enhancing simulation efficiency and broadening the model's applicability.

A cancer therapy that prompts the body’s immune defenses against viruses and bacteria to attack tumors can make patients more vulnerable to heart attack and stroke. A possible explanation for this side effect is that the treatment interferes with immune regulation in the heart’s largest blood vessels, a new study suggests.
Led by researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center, the new work focused on a potent class of cancer-fighting drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors. These medications ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have demonstrated that large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, could help automate functional genomics research, which seeks to determine what genes do and how they interact. The most frequently-used approach in functional genomics, called gene set enrichment, aims to determine the function of experimentally-identified gene sets by comparing them to existing genomics databases. However, more interesting and novel biology is often beyond the scope of established databases. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze gene ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Alcohol’s ability to increase people’s pain threshold is one reason that drinking also leads to more aggressive behavior, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that the less pain that study participants felt after drinking an alcoholic beverage, the more pain they were willing to inflict on someone else.
“We’ve all heard the idiom ‘I feel your pain,’” said study co-author Brad Bushman, professor of communication at The Ohio State University.
“But if intoxicated people can’t feel their own pain, they might be less likely to feel ...

It’s a big year for microRNAs. The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, who discovered the first microRNA in 1993. Today, we know that humans make more than 1,000 different microRNAS. These molecules are critical for building and maintaining healthy bodies, so it’s crucial that they’re made the right way. Errors in microRNA manufacture can put us at risk for developmental disorders, cancer, or neurodegenerative disease.
To learn how cells accurately generate a mind-boggling array of microRNAs, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor and HHMI Investigator Leemor ...
