Battalogy: Empowering Battery Data Management through Ontology-driven Knowledge Graph

Developing a battery ontology to represent battery management knowledge is crucial in the new sustainable and green energy era. As battery production revenue is projected to exceed 300 billion US dollars annually by 2030, researchers are exploring new battery materials, models, standards, and manufacturing processes. AI and ML methods are being employed to manage battery manufacturing and enhance performance. Data representation techniques and formats are important for enhancing the expressiveness of battery data and improving battery quality. This paper presents an ontology for creating a battery knowledge graph to address data interoperability challenges and share battery data among different actors. The battery ontology includes various types of knowledge, such as domain knowledge, battery applications, and core battery-specific knowledge. The ontology was evaluated through competency questions and usability tests. It aims to enhance battery production and design by facilitating efficient communication and data exchange between battery management systems and applications. This research has significant societal, economic, and environmental impacts as it contributes to developing more efficient and sustainable batteries.
