Multiscale Modelling

The Multiscale Modelling project, part of The Faraday Institution's research programme, aims to create accurate battery models to extend lifetime and performance of battery packs and to contribute to the electrification of the automotive industry. Since 2018, the Multiscale Modelling project works to equip industry and academia with new software modelling tools to predict and improve battery lifetime and performance, by connecting the understanding of battery materials at the atomic level all the way up to an assembled battery pack. Imperial College London is leading a consortium of nine university and 17 industry partners, bringing together world leading battery experts to build the critical bridge between science and engineering and across the length scales, contributing to the fundamental understanding of battery science and to the global electrification effort of the automotive industry. The project is part of the Faraday Institution – the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research, skills development, market analysis, and early-stage commercialisation. The Faraday Institution is a key delivery partner for The Faraday Battery Challenge at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), delivered by Innovate UK.
