Responding to the need of a growing community of students and researchers who want to get involved in the field of electrochemical storage systems, NEOLAB offers a new tool dedicated to a modeling domain where almost no open-source solutions exist. Physics-based models of batteries require extensive knowledge in thermodynamics, electro-chemistry, mathematics, material and computer sciences. Based on the idea that a minimum working example is the best way to learn gradually how to model a battery, NEOLAB provides a solution to simulate the behavior of the negative electrode of lead-acid batteries and a framework to investigate other primary and secondary technologies.
