A New Generation of Aging Models for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Introduction
‍
The ongoing global energy transition, driven by the dual imperatives of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency, has catalyzed the rise of two essential fields: electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). At the heart of these innovative technologies lies an essential component — the battery system. Its performance, efficiency, and longevity significantly impact the overall functionality and viability of both EVs and ESS.
‍
Over the last years, scientists have invested a lot of time and resources to optimize semi-empirical, physico-chemical, and data-driven simulation models. All of them show different challenges and limitations. To overcome this dead end, scientists and engineers combine physicochemical-mechanical degradation effects and integrate them into (semi)-empirical as well as data-driven approaches. We call this combination physics-motivated semi-empirical aging models.
The whitepaper covers the following topics:
- The new TWAICEÂ simulation model portfolio:Â base model, customized base model, premium model
- The new generation of physics-motivated semi-empirical aging models:Â OCV aging, degradation modes, understanding the accuracy of models, simulation of swelling force
- Vision and outlook

What’s New in TWAICE Energy Storage Analytics – Summer 2025
As an owner and operator, you can only get the most out of BESS, when you truly understand what’s happening inside the system. In our latest product webinar, the team shared a host of updates and new tools designed to cut through data overload and boost BESS performance.
Speed Up Root Cause Analysis of BESS Issues
TWAICE Energy Storage Analytics is a data analytics software for BESS operations, helping asset managers and performance engineers improve the lifetime, health and safety of their assets. Its features and data visualizations make it easy to pinpoint issues and detect operational risks, but to truly get to the bottom of what is happening, performance engineers must be able to easily access and analyze time-series data. That’s why we built Data Explorer.
How to Avoid Losing Money Because of State of Charge Errors
State of Charge (SoC) errors are one of the biggest headaches in managing and operating battery energy storage systems, and they cost operators millions in lost revenue. TWAICE’s new feature, Penalty Risk Assessment, provides accurate SoC insights to help you avoid these costly outcomes.

Approaches to battery modeling
Batteries are complex systems whose operation is determined by a variety of factors, making long term projections a challenge. However, it is possible to understand the future conduct of these systems by building models that mimic their behavior and leverage the computational power to perform the required calculations.
