Benchmark Contract#
- Benchmark Question
How well do methods handle a higher-fidelity electrochemical battery benchmark when each evaluation is comparatively expensive?
- Physically Modeled
PyBaMM DFN electrochemistry; Lumped thermal dynamics during fast charging; Lithium plating and solvent-diffusion-limited SEI side reactions
- Deliberate Surrogates
The packaged solve routine is a deterministic baseline/reference search, not a strong optimizer; Failure cases are converted into finite benchmark metrics rather than raised as structural solver errors
- Representation Mode
fast_charge_cell- Default Evaluation Mode
electrochemical_anchor- Supported Evaluation Modes
electrochemical_anchor- Validation Scope
PyBaMM model and solver reproducibility checks
- Solver Role
deterministic baseline/reference search
Statement#
Optimize a lithium-ion cell design for faster charging while respecting plating-risk and thermal safety limits. This benchmark is adapted from the fast-charge DesignBench battery case and re-packaged for the design-research-problems optimization API.
The design variables are bounded cell-level parameters taken from a Chen2020 style PyBaMM parameterization:
negative electrode thickness
positive electrode thickness
separator thickness
negative electrode porosity
positive electrode porosity
negative particle radius
positive particle radius
negative active-material volume fraction
positive active-material volume fraction
The evaluation path uses a PyBaMM DFN model with:
lumped thermal dynamics
partially reversible lithium plating
solvent-diffusion-limited SEI growth
a fast-charge CC-CV experiment
Primary objective:
minimize time to move from the configured low-SOC window edge to the
configured high-SOC window edge
Hard constraints:
maximum cell temperature
maximum plated-lithium concentration proxy
optional minimum energy-density floor
non-negative inactive volume fraction in each electrode
Reported metrics:
charge time in minutes
maximum plated lithium concentration
maximum cell temperature
practical energy density in Wh/L
solver success flag
