The Battery Performance and Cost (BatPaC) Model
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies, and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards, celebrating the program's 60th Anniversary this year, has long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2022 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Software/Services
Developers: Argonne National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:The battery performance and cost (BatPaC) model is a freely available tool that designs battery packs for electric vehicles. The tool employs a bottom-up calculation, whereby the size, mass, and cost of a pack is determined from inputs related to the chemistry, vehicle type, pack configuration, and manufacturing specifications.
