Abstract

Data science, hailed as the fourth paradigm of science, is a rapidly growing field which has served to revolutionize the fields of bio-informatics and climate science and can provide significant speed improvements in the discovery of new materials, mechanisms, and simulations. Data science techniques are often used to analyze and predict experimental data, but they can also be used with simulated data to create surrogate models. Chief among the data science techniques in this application is machine learning (ML), which is an effective means for creating a predictive relationship between input and output vector pairs. Physics-based battery models, like the comprehensive pseudo-two-dimensional (P2D) model, offer increased physical insight, increased predictability, and an opportunity for optimization of battery performance which is not possible with equivalent circuit (EC) models. In this work, ML-based surrogate models are created and analyzed for accuracy and execution time. Decision trees (DTs), random forests (RFs), and gradient boosted machines (GBMs) are shown to offer trade-offs between training time, execution time, and accuracy. Their ability to predict the dynamic behavior of the physics-based model are examined and the corresponding execution times are extremely encouraging for use in time-critical applications while still maintaining very high (∼99%) accuracy.
