先進(jìn)電池技術(shù)創(chuàng)新中心(ABTIC

西門子數(shù)字工業(yè)軟件公司近期宣布，與中國領(lǐng)先的儲(chǔ)能技術(shù)研發(fā)中心--天目湖先進(jìn)儲(chǔ)能技術(shù)研究院合作，共建先進(jìn)電池技術(shù)創(chuàng)新中心。創(chuàng)新中心位于TIES在中國江蘇省溧陽市的園區(qū)內(nèi)，行業(yè)設(shè)備總投資5億元，研發(fā)場(chǎng)所占地5.1萬平方米，致力于推動(dòng)先進(jìn)電池產(chǎn)業(yè)的轉(zhuǎn)型和升級(jí)，促進(jìn)先進(jìn)電池技術(shù)的研究和開發(fā)，為這一不斷發(fā)展壯大的地區(qū)培養(yǎng)和引進(jìn)高端人才。

創(chuàng)新中心將為先進(jìn)電池創(chuàng)新鏈和產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈提供全方位數(shù)字化服務(wù)，包括設(shè)計(jì)仿真、測(cè)試分析、中試驗(yàn)證和工程仿真等。同時(shí)，創(chuàng)新中心還將為國內(nèi)外制造企業(yè)提供高質(zhì)量的專業(yè)數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型服務(wù)，包括為大中型企業(yè)提供數(shù)字化制造咨詢服務(wù)、實(shí)施完整的數(shù)字化企業(yè)解決方案、以及為小微型企業(yè)提供數(shù)字化平臺(tái)和共享實(shí)驗(yàn)室。先進(jìn)電池創(chuàng)新中心將促進(jìn)電池技術(shù)的先進(jìn)研究，推動(dòng)整個(gè)產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈的合作，助力合作伙伴開發(fā)前沿電池技術(shù)，滿足未來電動(dòng)汽車?yán)m(xù)航能力的需求。

“作為電池行業(yè)的首個(gè)數(shù)字化創(chuàng)新中心，我們的目標(biāo)是為創(chuàng)新鏈和產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈提供全方面的數(shù)字化解決方案，涵蓋從第一性原理計(jì)算到數(shù)字化孿生工廠、從物料到系統(tǒng)的各個(gè)方面，”TIES院長(zhǎng)李泓教授說，“這一使命任重道遠(yuǎn)，但絕對(duì)值得我們?yōu)橹L(zhǎng)期努力。我們相信，通過數(shù)字化解決方案，我們將能準(zhǔn)確了解復(fù)雜的電池及其工作原理，打造高質(zhì)量和高可靠性的新型電池。”

“中國的電池技術(shù)正在飛速發(fā)展，已經(jīng)與國際先進(jìn)水平并駕齊驅(qū)。其原因部分歸功于政府和私營機(jī)構(gòu)的共同投資，而西門子與天目湖先進(jìn)儲(chǔ)能技術(shù)研究院的合作伙伴關(guān)系是這一領(lǐng)域的典范，”中國智能制造領(lǐng)域領(lǐng)先媒體和研究機(jī)構(gòu)e-works數(shù)字化企業(yè)網(wǎng)CEO兼首席分析師黃培說，“中國崛起成為儲(chǔ)能技術(shù)大國，是其成為電動(dòng)汽車市場(chǎng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的一個(gè)重要因素。中國的電動(dòng)汽車銷量占全球總量的一半，預(yù)計(jì)將來數(shù)十年內(nèi)仍會(huì)是主導(dǎo)勢(shì)力。西門子數(shù)字化工業(yè)軟件非常豐富，可以為電池設(shè)計(jì)、仿真和生產(chǎn)過程的大部分階段提供相應(yīng)技術(shù)，此外西門子還與國內(nèi)外電動(dòng)汽車市場(chǎng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者有著密切關(guān)系。因此，天目湖研究院的管理層選擇西門子作為主要合作伙伴和供應(yīng)商，為創(chuàng)新中心提供支持便不足為奇。”   

TIES由中科院物理所和江蘇中關(guān)村科技產(chǎn)業(yè)園聯(lián)合成立，自2019年4月正式投入運(yùn)營以來，致力于開發(fā)新型電池技術(shù)和提供高質(zhì)量的定制服務(wù)。先進(jìn)電池創(chuàng)新中心計(jì)劃于2019年底開放，是國內(nèi)以先進(jìn)電池技術(shù)為核心的創(chuàng)新中心，也是國內(nèi)為電池行業(yè)提供全面第三方檢測(cè)、研發(fā)、驗(yàn)證和技術(shù)服務(wù)的機(jī)構(gòu)。中國的電池生態(tài)圈發(fā)展迅猛，包括CATL和LG化學(xué)等在內(nèi)的許多國內(nèi)外電池公司，都集中在溧陽兩百公里的范圍內(nèi)。

“投資先進(jìn)電池創(chuàng)新中心是幫助我們?yōu)閹椭蛻糸_發(fā)先進(jìn)電池技術(shù)的邁出的關(guān)鍵一步，”西門子工業(yè)軟件大中華區(qū)董事總經(jīng)理梁乃明表示，”產(chǎn)品的復(fù)雜性決定了電池設(shè)計(jì)和制造必須要緊密結(jié)合，而創(chuàng)新中心將專注于技術(shù)孵化發(fā)展以及先進(jìn)的制造技術(shù)。把這兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵推動(dòng)力結(jié)合起來，可以幫助我們的合作伙伴在電動(dòng)汽車電池研發(fā)領(lǐng)域獲得競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。”

Siemens partners with TIES, a Chinese R&D Center to develop new technologies for electric vehicle batteries

• Advanced Battery Technology Innovation Center (ABTIC) is initiated jointly by Tianmu Lake Institute of Advanced Energy Storage and Siemens to develop advanced battery technologies and help bring them to volume production

• ABTIC aims to develop and provide digital solutions for production chains and innovation chains on next generation batteries

Announced today, Siemens Digital Industries Software has partnered with Tianmu Lake Institute of Advanced Energy Storage Technologies (TIES), a major Chinese energy storage research and development center, to build an Advanced Battery Technology Innovation Center. The Innovation Center, to be located at the 500 million-yuan, 51,000 square meter facility in Liyang, China, will be dedicated to transforming and upgrading the advanced battery industry, including nurturing advanced battery technology research and development, and the development and introduction of high-end talents in this growing area.

The Innovation Center will provide the advanced battery innovation chain and industry chain with comprehensive digital services, including design and simulation, test and analysis, pilot verification and engineering simulation. Meanwhile, the Innovation Center will also provide manufacturing enterprises, both domestic and abroad, with high-quality professional digital transformation services, including digital construction and digital manufacturing construction consulting services for medium- and large-sized enterprises, implementation of complete solutions for digital enterprises, as well as the development of digital capabilities for and shared lab leases for small and micro businesses. In doing so, this center can enable advanced research in battery technology, drive collaboration throughout the supply chain, and allow partners to develop the leading-edge battery technologies required for enhanced range with future electric vehicles. 

“As the first digital innovation center in battery field we aim to provide comprehensive digital solutions for the innovation chain and production chain, from first principle calculation to digital twin factory, from materials to systems,” said Professor Hong Li, Chief Executive Officer, at TIES. “This target is difficult to be realized but certainly worthy for long-term effort. Based on digital solutions, we believe we can understand the complex batteries and their processing precisely and produce the new batteries with unprecedented quality and reliability.”

"China is fast emerging as a peer to those countries long known as leaders in battery innovation, in part due to much concerted government and private investment, of which this Siemens-TIES partnership is a prime example,” said Pei Huang, CEO and Editor in Chief, at e-works, the leading media and research organization in Smart Manufacturing area in China. “The rise of China as an energy storage powerhouse is part of the much larger story of its dominance in the electric vehicle market, where it accounts for half of all EV sales globally and is expected to lead for decades to come. Given the breadth of Siemens Digital Industries Software, with enabling technologies serving most stages of the battery design, simulation and production process, also its deep relationships with EV market leaders in China and beyond, it's no surprise TIES leadership selected Siemens as its key partner and supplier supporting this new center."

Launched in April 2019, TIES was set up jointly by the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science and Jiangsu Zhongguancun Technology Park (Z-Park) for developing the new battery technologies and providing high quality customized services. The ABTIC Innovation Center is planned to open by the end of 2019. It is the first Innovation Center focused on advanced battery

 technology, and it is the first center in China to provide comprehensive third-party testing, research and development, verification and technology services to the battery industry. Much of China's burgeoning battery ecosystem, including both domestic and international companies like CATL and LG Chem, is clustered within a few hundred kilometers of Liyang.

“Investing in the ABTIC Innovation Center is a key step forward in helping our customers develop advanced battery technologies, said Leo Liang, Country Manager for China at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Battery design and manufacturing need to be tightly aligned due to product complexity, and the Innovation Center will focus both on the technology incubation and development as well as advanced manufacturing techniques. Bringing these two key drivers together can help our partners have a competitive market advantage in developing batteries for electric vehicles.”
