Analysing GITT data#

PyProBE includes built-in analysis methods for pulsing experiments, which this example will demonstrate.

First import the required libraries and data:

[1]:
import pyprobe

info_dictionary = {'Name': 'Sample cell',
                   'Chemistry': 'NMC622',
                   'Nominal Capacity [Ah]': 0.04,
                   'Cycler number': 1,
                   'Channel number': 1,}
data_directory = '../../../tests/sample_data/neware'

# Create a cell object
cell = pyprobe.Cell(info=info_dictionary)
cell.add_procedure(procedure_name='Sample',
                   folder_path = data_directory,
                   filename = 'sample_data_neware.parquet')
print(cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment_names)


['Initial Charge', 'Break-in Cycles', 'Discharge Pulses']

We will plot the Break-in Cycles and Discharge Pulses:

[2]:
fig = pyprobe.Plot()
fig.add_line(cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment('Break-in Cycles'), 'Time [hr]', 'Voltage [V]', label = 'Break-in Cycles', color = 'blue')
fig.add_line(cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment('Discharge Pulses'), 'Time [hr]', 'Voltage [V]', label = 'Discharge Pulses', color = 'red')
fig.show_image()
../_images/examples_analysing-GITT-data_3_0.png

State-of-charge is a useful metric when working with battery data, however it must be carefully defined. PyProBE doesn’t automatically calculate a value for cell SOC until instructed to by the user for this reason.

To add an SOC column to the data, we call set_SOC() on the procedure. We are going to provide an argument to reference_charge. This will be the final charge of the break-in cycles. This argument instructs PyProBE that the final data point of this charge is our 100% SOC reference.

[3]:
reference_charge = cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment('Break-in Cycles').charge(-1)
cell.procedure['Sample'].set_SOC(reference_charge=reference_charge)

fig = pyprobe.Plot()
fig.add_line(cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment('Break-in Cycles'), 'Time [hr]', 'SOC', label = 'Break-in Cycles', color = 'blue')
fig.add_line(cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment('Discharge Pulses'), 'Time [hr]', 'SOC', label = 'Discharge Pulses', color = 'red')
fig.show_image()
../_images/examples_analysing-GITT-data_5_0.png

Then we’ll filter to only the pulsing experiment:

[4]:
pulsing_experiment = cell.procedure['Sample'].experiment('Discharge Pulses')

fig = pyprobe.Plot()
fig.add_line(pulsing_experiment, 'Experiment Time [hr]', 'Voltage [V]')
fig.show_image()
../_images/examples_analysing-GITT-data_7_0.png

And then create our pulsing analysis object.

[5]:
from pyprobe.analysis import pulsing
pulse_object = pulsing.Pulsing(input_data=pulsing_experiment)

With the pulsing object we can separate out individual pulses:

[6]:
fig = pyprobe.Plot()
fig.add_line(pulse_object.input_data, 'Experiment Time [hr]', 'Voltage [V]', color='blue', label='Full Experiment')
fig.add_line(pulse_object.pulse(4), "Experiment Time [hr]", "Voltage [V]", label = 'Pulse 5', color = 'red')
fig.show_image()
../_images/examples_analysing-GITT-data_11_0.png

We can also extract key parameters from the pulsing experiment, with the get_resistances() method.

[7]:
pulse_resistances = pulsing.get_resistances(input_data=pulsing_experiment)
print(pulse_resistances.data)
shape: (10, 5)

The get_resistances() method can take an argument of a list of times at which to evaluate the resistance after the pulse, for instance at 10s after the pulse:

[8]:
pulse_resistances = pulsing.get_resistances(input_data=pulsing_experiment, r_times=[10])
print(pulse_resistances.data)

As a result object, the pulse summary can also be plotted:

[9]:
fig = pyprobe.Plot()
fig.add_line(pulse_resistances, 'SOC', 'R0 [Ohms]', color='blue', label='R0')
fig.add_line(pulse_resistances, 'SOC', 'R_10s [Ohms]', color='red', label='R_10s')
fig.yaxis_title = 'Resistance [Ohms]'
