Ansys + Wärtsilä
Complex Battery System Storage Modeling
with Ansys Twin Builder and Ansys Fluent
“Wärtsilä uses Ansys software for complex battery storage system modeling to
accurately test and make predictions about the life expectancy of our energy
storage systems. With the help of Ansys simulation software, we were able to layer
and build an accurate representation of our system that we can use to understand
thermal management performance. Simulation also saved the team six months of
development time and reduced the number of physical prototypes by three.”

CASE STUDY

We’re designing a fully integrated energy storage system for ease of deployment
and sustainable energy optimization for use across solar, wind farm, and power plant
applications. Every system component is pre-assembled before it is shipped to the customer
site, so it is ready for immediate implementation. Ansys solutions enable us to simulate and
build a fully optimized, low-maintenance, shelf-ready product with a 20-year design life that
delivers high energy efficiency.
