Beep is a software designed to support Battery Evaluation and Early Prediction of cycle life corresponding to the research of the d3batt program and the Toyota Research Institute.

Beep enables parsing and handing of electrochemical battery cycling data via data objects reflecting cycling run data, experimental protocols, featurization, and modeling of cycle life. Currently beep supports arbin and maccor cyclers.

Use pip install beep to install.

If you want to develop beep, clone the repo via git and use pip (or python setup.py develop) for an editable install:

git clone git@github.com:ToyotaResearchInstitute/BEEP.git
cd BEEP
pip install -e .

To configure the use of AWS resources its necessary to set the environment variable BEEP_ENV. For most users 'dev' is the appropriate choice since it assumes that no AWS resources are available.

export BEEP_ENV='dev'

For processing file locally its necessary to configure the folder structure

export BEEP_PROCESSING_DIR='/path/to/beep/data/'

You can use nose or pytests for running unittests (use pip install nose to install nose if not installed). In order to run tests the environment variable needs to be set (ie. export BEEP_ENV='dev')

nosetests beep

Note that the editable install (as prescribed above), is necessary for nosetests.

The standard installation procedure above should install and link console scripts with currently available BEEP functionality. Each beep script takes a JSON string as input in order to provide flexibility and more facile automation. They are documented below:

The collate script takes no input, and operates by assuming the BEEP_PROCESSING_DIR (default /) has subdirectories /data-share/raw_cycler_files and data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge.

The script moves files from the /data-share/raw_cycler_files directory, parses the metadata, and renames them according to a combination of protocol, channel number, and date, placing them in /data-share/renamed_cycler_files.

The script output is a json string that contains the following fields:

• fid - The file id used internally for renaming
• filename - full paths for raw cycler filenames
• strname - the string name associated with the file (i. e. scrubbed of csv)
• file_list - full paths for the new, renamed, cycler files
• protocol - the cycling protocol corresponding to each file
• channel_no - the channel number corresponding to each file
• date - the date corresponding to each file

Example:

$ collate

{
    "mode": "events_off",
    "fid": [0, 
            1, 
            2],
    "strname": ["2017-05-09_test-TC-contact", 
                "2017-08-14_8C-5per_3_47C", 
                "2017-12-04_4_65C-69per_6C"],
    "file_list": ["/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_0_CH33.csv", 
                  "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_1_CH44.csv", 
                  "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_2_CH29.csv"],
    "protocol": [null, 
               "8C(5%)-3.47C", 
               "4.65C(69%)-6C"],
    "date": ["2017-05-09", 
             "2017-08-14", 
             "2017-12-04"],
    "channel_no": ["CH33", 
                   "CH44", 
                   "CH29"],
    "filename": ["/data-share/raw_cycler_files/2017-05-09_test-TC-contact_CH33.csv", 
                 "/data-share/raw_cycler_files/2017-08-14_8C-5per_3_47C_CH44.csv", 
                 "/data-share/raw_cycler_files/2017-12-04_4_65C-69per_6C_CH29.csv"]
}

The validation script, validate, runs the validation procedure contained in beep.validate on renamed files according to the output of rename above. It also updates a general json validation record in /data-share/validation/validation.json.

The input json must contain the following fields

• file_list - the list of filenames to be validated
• mode - mode for events i.e. 'test' or 'run'
• run_list - list of run_ids for each of the files, used by the database for linking data

The output json will have the following fields:

• validity - a list of validation results, e. g. ["valid", "valid", "invalid"]
• file_list - a list of full path filenames which have been processed

Example:

$ validate '{
    "mode": "events_off",
    "run_list": [1, 20, 34],
    "strname": ["2017-05-09_test-TC-contact", 
                "2017-08-14_8C-5per_3_47C", 
                "2017-12-04_4_65C-69per_6C"],
    "file_list": ["/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_0_CH33.csv", 
                  "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_1_CH44.csv", 
                  "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_2_CH29.csv"],
    "protocol": [null, 
               "8C(5%)-3.47C", 
               "4.65C(69%)-6C"],
    "date": ["2017-05-09", 
             "2017-08-14", 
             "2017-12-04"],
    "channel_no": ["CH33", 
                   "CH44", 
                   "CH29"],
    "filename": ["/data-share/raw_cycler_files/2017-05-09_test-TC-contact_CH33.csv", 
                 "/data-share/raw_cycler_files/2017-08-14_8C-5per_3_47C_CH44.csv", 
                 "/data-share/raw_cycler_files/2017-12-04_4_65C-69per_6C_CH29.csv"]
}'

{"validity": ["invalid",
              "invalid",
              "valid"],
 "file_list": ["/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_0_CH33.csv", 
               "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_1_CH44.csv", 
               "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_2_CH29.csv"],
}

The structure script will run the data structuring on specified filenames corresponding to validated raw cycler files. It places the structured datafiles in /data-share/structure.

The input json must contain the following fields:

• file_list - a list of full path filenames which have been processed
• validity - a list of boolean validation results, e. g. [True, True, False]
• mode - mode for events i.e. 'test' or 'run'
• run_list - list of run_ids for each of the files, used by the database for linking data

The output json contains the following fields:

• invalid_file_list - a list of invalid files according to the validity
• file_list - a list of files which have been structured into processed_cycler_runs

Example:

$ structure '{
    "mode": "events_off",
    "run_list": [1, 20, 34],
    "validity": ["invalid", "invalid", "valid"], 
    "file_list": ["/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_0_CH33.csv", 
                  "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_1_CH44.csv", 
                  "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_2_CH29.csv"]}'

{
  "invalid_file_list": ["/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_0_CH33.csv", 
                       "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_1_CH44.csv"], 
  "file_list": ["/data-share/structure/FastCharge_2_CH29_structure.json"],
}

The featurize script will generate features according to the methods contained in beep.generate_features. It places output files corresponding to features in /data-share/features/.

The input json must contain the following fields

• file_list - a list of processed cycler runs for which to generate features
• mode - mode for events i.e. 'test' or 'run'
• run_list - list of run_ids for each of the files, used by the database for linking data

The output json file will contain the following:

• file_list - a list of filenames corresponding to the locations of the features

Example:

$ featurize '{
    "mode": "events_off",
    "run_list": [1, 20, 34],
    "invalid_file_list": ["/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_0_CH33.csv", 
                          "/data-share/renamed_cycler_files/FastCharge/FastCharge_1_CH44.csv"], 
    "file_list": ["/data-share/structure/FastCharge_2_CH29_structure.json"]
}'

{
  "file_list": ["/data-share/features/FastCharge_2_CH29_full_model_features.json"]}

The run_model script will generate a model and create predictions based on the features previously generated by the generate_features. It stores its outputs in /data-share/predictions/

The input json must contain the following fields

• file_list - list of files corresponding to model features
• mode - mode for events i.e. 'test' or 'run'
• run_list - list of run_ids for each of the files, used by the database for linking data

The output json will contain the following fields

• file_list - list of files corresponding to model predictions

Example:

$ run_model '{
    "mode": "events_off",
    "run_list": [34],
    "file_list": ["/data-share/features/FastCharge_2_CH29_full_model_features.json"]
}'

{
  "file_list": ["/data-share/predictions/FastCharge_2_CH29_full_model_predictions.json"],
}
