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, and

  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.

User Guide

The user guide is the best place to start learning PyBaMM. It contains an installation guide, an introduction to the main concepts and links to additional tutorials.

Examples

Examples and tutorials can be viewed on the GitHub examples page, which also provides a link to run them online through Google Colab.

API Documentation

The reference guide contains a detailed description of the functions, modules, and objects included in PyBaMM. The reference describes how the methods work and which parameters can be used.
