INEGI Develops Foundational Digital Twin Models to Revolutionize Testing of Newly Designed Batteries
Testing new lithium-ion battery designs for improved performance, reliability, and safety is traditionally a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. These conventional methods depend heavily on trial-and-error, localized facilities, and costly physical experiments, making them a bottleneck in the battery manufacturers race for cleaner, more efficient energy systems. To address this challenge, INEGI has led the development of a …
