This call aims to reduce development costs and time to market for new battery systems by developing accelerated multi-physical and virtual testing methodologies. Projects should focus on understanding the impact of multi-physical operational loads, failure modes, aging, and misuse on battery reliability and safety. The objective is to design advanced testing methods that minimize experimental efforts while increasing battery safety and reliability. Activities should include deriving advanced operating profiles, combining physics-based and data-driven test strategies, developing simplified test strategies, and contributing to European safety classification systems. Proposals are expected to address electric vehicle batteries but are encouraged to develop techniques applicable to other forms of electro-mobility and stationary applications. The goal is to shorten development time, increase battery reliability and safety, accelerate verification and validation of new solutions, and standardize testing and validation approaches focusing on the combination of physical and virtual test methodologies.
