西門子數字工業(yè)軟件公司近期宣布，與中國領先的儲能技術研發(fā)中心--天目湖先進儲能技術研究院合作，共建先進電池技術創(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，行業(yè)設備總投資5億元，研發(fā)場所占地5.1萬平方米，致力于推動先進電池產業(yè)的轉型和升級，促進先進電池技術的研究和開發(fā)，為這一不斷發(fā)展壯大的地區(qū)培養(yǎng)和引進高端人才。

創(chuàng)新中心將為先進電池創(chuàng)新鏈和產業(yè)鏈提供全方位數字化服務，包括設計仿真、測試分析、中試驗證和工程仿真等。同時，創(chuàng)新中心還將為國內外制造企業(yè)提供高質量的專業(yè)數字化轉型服務，包括為大中型企業(yè)提供數字化制造咨詢服務、實施完整的數字化企業(yè)解決方案、以及為小微型企業(yè)提供數字化平臺和共享實驗室。先進電池創(chuàng)新中心將促進電池技術的先進研究，推動整個產業(yè)鏈的合作，助力合作伙伴開發(fā)前沿電池技術，滿足未來電動汽車續(xù)航能力的需求。

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

“中國的電池技術正在飛速發(fā)展，已經與國際先進水平并駕齊驅。其原因部分歸功于政府和私營機構的共同投資，而西門子與天目湖先進儲能技術研究院的合作伙伴關系是這一領域的典范，”中國智能制造領域領先媒體和研究機構e-works數字化企業(yè)網CEO兼首席分析師黃培說，“中國崛起成為儲能技術大國，是其成為電動汽車市場領導者的一個重要因素。中國的電動汽車銷量占全球總量的一半，預計將來數十年內仍會是主導勢力。西門子數字化工業(yè)軟件非常豐富，可以為電池設計、仿真和生產過程的大部分階段提供相應技術，此外西門子還與國內外電動汽車市場領導者有著密切關系。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商，為創(chuàng)新中心提供支持便不足為奇?！?nbsp;  

TIES由中科院物理所和江蘇中關村科技產業(yè)園聯合成立，自2019年4月正式投入運營以來，致力于開發(fā)新型電池技術和提供高質量的定制服務。先進電池創(chuàng)新中心計劃于2019年底開放，是國內以先進電池技術為核心的創(chuàng)新中心，也是國內為電池行業(yè)提供全面第三方檢測、研發(fā)、驗證和技術服務的機構。中國的電池生態(tài)圈發(fā)展迅猛，包括CATL和LG化學等在內的許多國內外電池公司，都集中在溧陽兩百公里的范圍內。

“投資先進電池創(chuàng)新中心是幫助我們?yōu)閹椭蛻糸_發(fā)先進電池技術的邁出的關鍵一步，”西門子工業(yè)軟件大中華區(qū)董事總經理梁乃明表示，”產品的復雜性決定了電池設計和制造必須要緊密結合，而創(chuàng)新中心將專注于技術孵化發(fā)展以及先進的制造技術。把這兩個關鍵推動力結合起來，可以幫助我們的合作伙伴在電動汽車電池研發(fā)領域獲得競爭優(yōu)勢?！?/p>

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.”
