PyBaMM Hackathon

Important note: this hackathon is not an introductory course on how to use PyBaMM. Experience with Python and PyBaMM is required, and basic experience with git is strongly recommended.

PyBaMM (Python Battery Mathematical Modelling) is an open-source battery simulation package written in Python. Our mission is to accelerate battery modelling research by providing open-source tools for multi-institutional, interdisciplinary collaboration. Broadly, PyBaMM consists of

1. A framework for writing and solving systems of differential equations
2. A library of battery models and parameters
3. specialized tools for simulating battery-specific experiments and visualizing the results.

Together, these enable flexible model definitions and fast battery simulations, allowing users to explore the effect of different battery designs and modeling assumptions under a variety of operating scenarios.

In this hackathon, you will have the opportunity to learn how to contribute to PyBaMM, while working on real examples under the expert guidance of members the PyBaMM team. The hackathon will also include an introduction on how to contribute to the project (more details of the agenda will be published closer to the date). Each participant should bring their own laptop and have PyBaMM installed from source (see details here). Lunch and tea&coffee will be provided.

This workshop is supported by The Faraday Institution `”Multi-Scale Modelling” project [EP/S003053/1 grant number FIRG025].
