Thermal Runaway Simulation

Evaluate Thermal Runaway Risks Before They Compromise Battery Safety

Thermal runaway is a rapid and uncontrolled increase in temperature that can occur when heat generated within a battery exceeds its ability to dissipate that heat. Once initiated, this process can propagate from one cell to adjacent cells, potentially leading to severe safety incidents, reduced battery performance, and permanent system failure. Thermal Runaway Simulation enables engineers to evaluate these risks before product development, testing, or commercial deployment.

At Experiqs, we perform Thermal Runaway Simulations to analyze heat generation, temperature propagation, cell-to-cell interactions, and thermal behaviour under abnormal operating conditions. These simulations help engineers assess battery safety, optimize thermal protection strategies, and validate battery system designs across electric mobility, energy storage, aerospace, and industrial applications.

Why Thermal Runaway Simulation Matters

As battery systems become larger and more energy-dense, preventing thermal runaway has become a critical design requirement. Factors such as internal short circuits, mechanical damage, overcharging, manufacturing defects, or inadequate cooling can initiate thermal runaway, resulting in rapid heat propagation and system failure.

Thermal Runaway Simulation enables engineers to investigate these scenarios during the design stage. By evaluating heat propagation, temperature evolution, and the effectiveness of thermal protection measures, engineering teams can improve battery safety, optimize cooling strategies, and support compliance with safety requirements while reducing dependence on destructive physical testing.

Our Capabilities
