The domestic road of smart battery chain -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Ren Bobing, executive director of Innovation Works and general manager of the Frontier Technology Fund, said: "We have been paying attention to the opportunity for the birth of expert-level industrial software in China. As one of the manufacturing industries with industrial chain advantages in China, the research and development, manufacturing and operation of batteries have ushered in new opportunities. In a round of changes, the battery industry software is most likely to be precipitated, polished and optimized in China, and eventually become the world's "hidden champion". Electra was initiated by a team of famous scientists at Tsinghua University, with an electrochemical model that has been leading the industry for 30 years. Combining artificial intelligence, and transforming its core technology into industrial chain collaboration software during the entire life cycle of the battery, changing the structure of the battery industry. In the era of scientific and technological navigation, the company team entered the industrial software base as soon as it was founded, and successfully landed large-scale service projects in Europe. It proves the advanced nature and application ability of its core technologies such as the underlying model on a global scale. We believe that Electra can maintain and increase its core competitiveness in the vertical field of new energy, seize the rapid development of the battery industry and the dual circulation at home and abroad. rising dividends."
Solving the problem of stuck neck: the road of "domestic substitution" for the R&D chain of smart batteries
According to the innovation workshop, batteries are the core components of electric vehicles, energy storage power stations, and 3C products, accounting for more than 1/3 of the cost of complete vehicles and energy storage power stations. The production of lithium batteries will increase by dozens of times in the next decade to meet the new demand in the global vehicle electrification and energy storage market, and the TWh (terawatt-hour) era is coming. It is expected that by 2030, there will be an additional investment of trillions of RMB in the domestic battery production field. Participants include battery factories, car manufacturers, energy storage system suppliers and various new forces entering the industry. The global battery industry is also increasing investment and developing rapidly. In Europe alone, 38 super battery factories have been planned, and the target output in 10 years will reach 13 times the current supply. Batteries are significantly affecting the transformation speed of traditional car companies, thereby reshaping the new pattern of the global auto industry.
The relevant person in charge of Electra said that the existing battery cell research and development model is backward, which contains huge transformation momentum, reshuffle space and industrial opportunities. "Cell development is ushering in a huge jump in efficiency, which we call two major steps: the first step is to move from the traditional trial-and-error approach to a simulation-driven forward design, at least double the efficiency; the second step, from the simulation The design has been further upgraded to a fully automatic and intelligent design, and the efficiency has been improved by at least an order of magnitude, or even more than a hundred times,” said Dr. Chen Xinhong, founder and CEO.
