Global Sensitivity Methods for Design of Experiments in Lithium-ion Battery Context
Battery management systems may rely on mathematical models to provide higher
performance than standard charging protocols. Electrochemical models allow us
to capture the phenomena occurring inside a lithium-ion cell and therefore,
could be the best model choice. However, to be of practical value, they require
reliable model parameters. Uncertainty quantification and optimal experimental
design concepts are essential tools for identifying systems and estimating
parameters precisely. Approximation errors in uncertainty quantification result
in sub-optimal experimental designs and consequently, less-informative data,
and higher parameter unreliability. In this work, we propose a highly efficient
design of experiment method based on global parameter sensitivities. This novel
concept is applied to the single-particle model with electrolyte and thermal
dynamics (SPMeT), a well-known electrochemical model for lithium-ion cells. The
proposed method avoids the simplifying assumption of output-parameter
linearization (i.e., local parameter sensitivities) used in conventional Fisher
information matrix-based experimental design strategies. Thus, the optimized
current input profile results in experimental data of higher information
content and in turn, in more precise parameter estimates.Comment: Accepted for 21st IFAC World Congres
Research and Education in Computational Science and Engineering
Over the past two decades the field of computational science and engineering
(CSE) has penetrated both basic and applied research in academia, industry, and
laboratories to advance discovery, optimize systems, support decision-makers,
and educate the scientific and engineering workforce. Informed by centuries of
theory and experiment, CSE performs computational experiments to answer
questions that neither theory nor experiment alone is equipped to answer. CSE
provides scientists and engineers of all persuasions with algorithmic
inventions and software systems that transcend disciplines and scales. Carried
on a wave of digital technology, CSE brings the power of parallelism to bear on
troves of data. Mathematics-based advanced computing has become a prevalent
means of discovery and innovation in essentially all areas of science,
engineering, technology, and society; and the CSE community is at the core of
this transformation. However, a combination of disruptive
developments---including the architectural complexity of extreme-scale
computing, the data revolution that engulfs the planet, and the specialization
required to follow the applications to new frontiers---is redefining the scope
and reach of the CSE endeavor. This report describes the rapid expansion of CSE
and the challenges to sustaining its bold advances. The report also presents
strategies and directions for CSE research and education for the next decade.Comment: Major revision, to appear in SIAM Revie
Compressive sensing adaptation for polynomial chaos expansions
Basis adaptation in Homogeneous Chaos spaces rely on a suitable rotation of
the underlying Gaussian germ. Several rotations have been proposed in the
literature resulting in adaptations with different convergence properties. In
this paper we present a new adaptation mechanism that builds on compressive
sensing algorithms, resulting in a reduced polynomial chaos approximation with
optimal sparsity. The developed adaptation algorithm consists of a two-step
optimization procedure that computes the optimal coefficients and the input
projection matrix of a low dimensional chaos expansion with respect to an
optimally rotated basis. We demonstrate the attractive features of our
algorithm through several numerical examples including the application on
Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) calculations of turbulent combustion in a HIFiRE
scramjet engine.Comment: Submitted to Journal of Computational Physic
High-Dimensional Stochastic Design Optimization by Adaptive-Sparse Polynomial Dimensional Decomposition
This paper presents a novel adaptive-sparse polynomial dimensional
decomposition (PDD) method for stochastic design optimization of complex
systems. The method entails an adaptive-sparse PDD approximation of a
high-dimensional stochastic response for statistical moment and reliability
analyses; a novel integration of the adaptive-sparse PDD approximation and
score functions for estimating the first-order design sensitivities of the
statistical moments and failure probability; and standard gradient-based
optimization algorithms. New analytical formulae are presented for the design
sensitivities that are simultaneously determined along with the moments or the
failure probability. Numerical results stemming from mathematical functions
indicate that the new method provides more computationally efficient design
solutions than the existing methods. Finally, stochastic shape optimization of
a jet engine bracket with 79 variables was performed, demonstrating the power
of the new method to tackle practical engineering problems.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Sparse Grids and
