Choosing a dielectric protection barrier during the design and construction of EV battery modules and packs is a critical engineering decision. With an optimized solution, engineers can maximize pack energy density, improve vehicle reliability, and enhance consumer safety.

In this session, Max VanRapporstand Steve DeMaagdof Avery Dennison Performance Tapes will discuss the comparative advantages of using pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes versus coatings to create dielectric barriers. They’ll explain how to choose a specific dielectric tape based on the application, including pack electrical insulation, cell wrapping, cooling plates, and insulation around flexible busbars. Max and Steve will also discuss how proper tape selection can help maximize scale-up and large-volume production. Finally, the team will highlight some of the potential pitfalls and failure modes that can occur when the wrong dielectric protection barriers are chosen.

Attendees’ takeaways will include:

• How the evolution of EV battery pack design presents challenges to engineers seeking electrical insulation solutions

• How and why PSA tapes are being incorporated into EV battery packs to create dielectric barriers

• How PSA tapes offer numerous advantages in EV battery pack design

• An overview of how to choose the right PSA tape for a specific application

One of the most challenging aspects of module and pack design is mitigating or preventing thermal runaway propagation (TRP). This webinar will explore considerations engineers must address when developing a thermal runaway propagation strategy for Li-ion batteries.

Topics include:

• How to manage the different pathways energy can take during a thermal runaway event

• How aerogels integrate thermal and mechanical functions within a single part

• What design tools are available to help visualize the problem and its potential solutions

During this webinar we will follow the design of a new battery electric vehicle, and demonstrate how MODSIM can impact the smallest details of battery design, such as optimizing the electrochemistry or selecting the optimal pack configuration, all the way to the larger questions of test management, control strategies, and the certification for WLTP regulation. In addition, we will show a number of real-world examples from the Lifesciences, Marine, and Consumer Packaging industries where MODSIM has delivered significant business benefits.

We will demonstrate how MODSIM is a key enabler for transformation. MODSIM enabled process’ can now reduce the times of complex modeling & simulation tasks from weeks to days. By widespread deployment of such processes, MODSIM can compress development cycle times, and yet still allow for the cutting-edge optimization of complex systems, with advanced techniques such as machine learning. This ability to do realistic virtual testing earlier allows more innovation and more efficient use of resources. The overall effect of these transformations is to deliver significant business benefits – a more desirable and cost-effective product, delivered more quickly.
