Python Battery Optimisation and Parameterisation

PyBOP

PyBOP provides a complete set of tools for parameterisation and optimisation of battery models, using both Bayesian and frequentist approaches, with example workflows to assist the user. PyBOP can be used to parameterise various battery models, including electrochemical and equivalent circuit models available in PyBaMM. PyBOP prioritises clear and informative diagnostics for the user, while also allowing for advanced probabilistic methods.

The diagram below shows the conceptual framework of PyBOP. This package is currently under development, so users can expect the API to evolve with future releases.

Installation

Within your virtual environment, install PyBOP:

pip install pybop

To install the most recent state of PyBOP, install from the develop branch,

pip install git+https://github.com/pybop-team/PyBOP.git@develop

To install a previous version of PyBOP, use the following template and replace the version number:

pip install pybop==v24.3

To check that PyBOP is installed correctly, run one of the examples in the following section. For a development installation, see the Contribution Guide. More installation information is available in our documentation and the extended installation instructions for PyBaMM.

Using PyBOP

PyBOP has two intended uses:

Parameter estimation from battery test data.
Design optimisation under battery manufacturing/use constraints.

These include a wide variety of optimisation problems that require careful consideration due to the choice of battery model, data availability and/or the choice of design parameters.

Notebooks

PyBOP comes with a number of example notebooks, which can be found in the examples folder. A few noteworthy ones are listed below.

Scripts

Additional script-based examples can be found in the examples directory. Some notable scripts are listed below.

Code of Conduct

PyBOP aims to foster a broad consortium of developers and users, building on and learning from the success of the PyBaMM community. Our values are:

Inclusivity and fairness (those who wish to contribute may do so, and their input is appropriately recognised)
Interoperability (modularity for maximum impact and inclusivity)
User-friendliness (putting user requirements first via user-assistance & workflows)
