Battery System Designer (BaSD)

Automated, requirements driven battery system design

The Battery System Designer (BaSD) tool is tool to support the design process, layout and optimization of battery systems during development.

BaSD uses the basic, formalized requirements for a battery system from an electrical point of view (e.g., minimum and maximum system voltage, maximum discharge current etc.) and a mechanical point of view (i.e., the design space) and transfers this into a battery system configuration that satisfies these requirements. BaSD uses a database of available cells to find these possible battery system configurations.

Workflow of the BaSD tool to automatically create a battery system configuration, layout and simplified CAD model

The following documentation describes how to use and extend BaSD.
