BMW | Pilot Plant for Battery Cells

The BMW Group is planning the construction of a pilot plant at Parsdorf near Munich (Germany) where lithium-ion battery cells will be manufactured. The new site is scheduled to come into operation at the end of 2022. It will cover an area of 14,000 m² and employ around 50 people. The goal is to exploit the potential of the entire value-added process and to create a closed, sustainable material cycle for battery cells that includes the selection of the materials and the composition and design of the battery
cells, together with production and recycling. “The new pilot plant will enable us to close the final gap in the value chain which covers battery cell devel opment, the production of modules and powertrain components and the installation of fully assembled high-voltage batteries at our vehicle plants,” says Milan Nedeljkovic´, member of the board of management of BMW AG. The pilot plant will work closely with the battery cell competence center which opened in Munich in November 2019.

IPG Automotive, in collaboration with Keysight Technologies and Nordsys, has developed a modular test platform for the validation of driver assistance systems and functions for highly automated driving. The Autonomous Drive Emulation System emulates the synchronized connections to all relevant sensors in the vehicle in a system, for example that to the global navigation satellite system, to radar and camera sensors or for vehicleto-everything communication. This will enable the customer to simulate their components, software and systems including sensor fusion and the decision algorithms. The open platform simplifies the merging of commercial 3-D modelling, HiL systems and already existing test and simulation environments.

Würth Elektronik has now merged aluminum electrolyte and aluminum polymer capacitors on its online platform Red Expert. Users are now able to use the stored data of the different technologies to make direct comparisons. For example, polymer capacitors have the advantage of higher temperature tolerance but normally also have a larger leakage current and a limited voltage range. The compromises that a user must enter into when selecting components have been made transparent and can be balanced using Red Expert. The display of the ripple current has also be improved. The new diagrams and sliders enable the user to adjust the working point (frequency and temperature) and immediately see the maximum ripple current. User interface of the Red Expert online platform
