Get involved

All battery modellers are invited to request additional features to be included in BPX via discussions boards in GitHub.

Requests are developed into feature proposals, which are reviewed by the BPX Steering Group and scheduled into the evolving BPX release road map.

BPX Steering Group

The BPX Steering Group comprises experienced battery modellers from a wide range of leading companies and research institutions across Europe. It advises the Faraday Institution on strategy for the future evolution of the BPX standard including reviewing the feature roadmap and user requests for new features. In doing so it will ensure the needs of industrial users will continue to be met as battery modelling technologies advance and industrial needs evolve. They will encourage the use of the BPX standard within their own organisations and across the wider industry.

Looking to the future

In the short and medium term, the Faraday Institution will continue to fund the development of the BPX standard as part of its commercialisation activities from its research programmes. In the longer term it is anticipated that BPX will evolve to become a membership-funded standards development organisation, led by an executive board of fee-paying members with the steering group evolving to become a technical advisory board.
