Real-time battery modelling advancements have quickly become a requirement as the adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) has rapidly increased. In this paper an open-source, improved discrete realisation algorithm, implemented in Julia for creation and simulation of reduced-order, real-time capable physics-based models is presented. This work reduces the Doyle-Fuller-Newman electrochemical model into continuous-form transfer functions and introduces a computationally informed discrete realisation algorithm (CI-DRA) to generate the reduced-order models. Further improvements in conventional offline model creation are obtained as well as achieving in-vehicle capable model creation for ARM based computing architectures. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis on the resultant computational time is completed as well as experimental validation of a worldwide harmonised light vehicle test procedure (WLTP) for a LG Chem. M50 21700 parameterisation. A performance comparison to the conventional Matlab implemented discrete realisation algorithm (DRA) is completed showcasing a mean computational time improvement of 88%. Finally, an ARM based compilation is investigated for in-vehicle model generation and shows a modest performance reduction of 43% when compared to the x86 implementation while still generating accurate models within 5.5 seconds.
