At the heart of the NEXTBAT project’s innovation lies a talented and dedicated team of experts working across various domains to push the boundaries of battery technology. One such key contributor is Arash Moaven, who plays a pivotal role in developing advanced software solutions for battery systems at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS).
Driving Innovation with High-Performance Computing
Arash Moaven is a vital member of the NEXTBAT team, focusing on Work Package 3 (WP3), Task 3.1: Software for High-Order Models and Simulations of Battery Systems. As part of his role, Arash works at the prestigious Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), Spain’s national supercomputing centre, which is renowned for its expertise in high-performance computing (HPC).
The BSC is home to MareNostrum, one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers, and serves as a hub for the international scientific community and industries requiring HPC resources. Since its inception in 2005, the BSC has been at the forefront of promoting HPC as an essential tool for global competitiveness in science and engineering.
Pioneering Advanced Battery Simulations
Arash’s primary responsibility within the NEXTBAT project is to develop software for high-order models and simulations of battery systems, with a particular focus on immersion cooling and thermal runaway scenarios. These are critical areas of research that help ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of battery systems, especially in high-demand applications such as electric vehicles and aerospace.
To tackle these complex challenges, Arash and his team leverage the advanced capabilities of Alya, a specialized simulation program developed at BSC. Alya enables researchers to perform detailed simulations of battery behavior under various conditions, providing invaluable insights that drive innovation in battery technology.
Collaboration and Communication for Greater Impact
A key aspect of Arash’s role involves collaborating with other partners within the NEXTBAT consortium to understand the specific challenges they face. This collaborative approach ensures that the software and models developed are not only cutting-edge but also highly relevant and applicable to the needs of the industry.
Looking Ahead
As NEXTBAT continues to explore the future of sustainable battery technology, the work of Arash Moaven and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center remains integral to its success. By harnessing the power of supercomputing and fostering collaboration across disciplines, Arash and his team are helping to pave the way for safer, more efficient, and more sustainable battery systems.
Arash’s contributions to the project exemplify the spirit of innovation and excellence that drives NEXTBAT forward. Stay tuned for more updates on our team’s progress as we continue to push the limits of what is possible in battery technology.
