西门子数字工业软件公司近期宣布，与中国领先的储能技术研发中心--天目湖先进储能技术研究院合作，共建先进电池技术创新中心。创新中心位于TIES在中国江苏省溧阳市的园区内，行业设备总投资5亿元，研发场所占地5.1万平方米，致力于推动先进电池产业的转型和升级，促进先进电池技术的研究和开发，为这一不断发展壮大的地区培养和引进高端人才。

创新中心将为先进电池创新链和产业链提供全方位数字化服务，包括设计仿真、测试分析、中试验证和工程仿真等。同时，创新中心还将为国内外制造企业提供高质量的专业数字化转型服务，包括为大中型企业提供数字化制造咨询服务、实施完整的数字化企业解决方案、以及为小微型企业提供数字化平台和共享实验室。先进电池创新中心将促进电池技术的先进研究，推动整个产业链的合作，助力合作伙伴开发前沿电池技术，满足未来电动汽车续航能力的需求。

“作为电池行业的首个数字化创新中心，我们的目标是为创新链和产业链提供全方面的数字化解决方案，涵盖从第一性原理计算到数字化孪生工厂、从物料到系统的各个方面，”TIES院长李泓教授说，“这一使命任重道远，但绝对值得我们为之长期努力。我们相信，通过数字化解决方案，我们将能准确了解复杂的电池及其工作原理，打造高质量和高可靠性的新型电池。”

“中国的电池技术正在飞速发展，已经与国际先进水平并驾齐驱。其原因部分归功于政府和私营机构的共同投资，而西门子与天目湖先进储能技术研究院的合作伙伴关系是这一领域的典范，”中国智能制造领域领先媒体和研究机构e-works数字化企业网CEO兼首席分析师黄培说，“中国崛起成为储能技术大国，是其成为电动汽车市场领导者的一个重要因素。中国的电动汽车销量占全球总量的一半，预计将来数十年内仍会是主导势力。西门子数字化工业软件非常丰富，可以为电池设计、仿真和生产过程的大部分阶段提供相应技术，此外西门子还与国内外电动汽车市场领导者有着密切关系。因此，天目湖研究院的管理层选择西门子作为主要合作伙伴和供应商，为创新中心提供支持便不足为奇。”   

TIES由中科院物理所和江苏中关村科技产业园联合成立，自2019年4月正式投入运营以来，致力于开发新型电池技术和提供高质量的定制服务。先进电池创新中心计划于2019年底开放，是国内以先进电池技术为核心的创新中心，也是国内为电池行业提供全面第三方检测、研发、验证和技术服务的机构。中国的电池生态圈发展迅猛，包括CATL和LG化学等在内的许多国内外电池公司，都集中在溧阳两百公里的范围内。

“投资先进电池创新中心是帮助我们为帮助客户开发先进电池技术的迈出的关键一步，”西门子工业软件大中华区董事总经理梁乃明表示，”产品的复杂性决定了电池设计和制造必须要紧密结合，而创新中心将专注于技术孵化发展以及先进的制造技术。把这两个关键推动力结合起来，可以帮助我们的合作伙伴在电动汽车电池研发领域获得竞争优势。”

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.”
