PETLION – Porous Electrode Theory for Li-ion Batteries

High-performance simulations of the pseudo-2D porous electrode theory (PET) model in Julia

• Built for efficient controls, parameter estimation, and other complex battery simulations using the rigorous PET model
• Runs a full charge or discharge with 301 DAEs in ~3 ms on a laptop with 1 MB total memory usage
• Includes thermal and aging modes

Installation

After installing Julia, run the following command to add the PETLION package

import Pkg; Pkg.add("PETLION")

Getting started

To get started, we recommend checking out the list of examples. To simulate a simple constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) charge, run the following:

using PETLION
p = petlion(LCO)

sol = simulate(p, I=2, SOC=0, V_max=4.1)
simulate!(sol, p, 1800, V=:hold, I_min=1/20)

PETLION simulation
