Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries have a wide range of applications, but one of their biggest problems is their limited lifetime due to performance degradation during usage. It is, therefore, essential to determine the battery’s state of health (SOH) so that the battery management system can control the battery, enabling it to run in the best state, and thus prolong its lifetime. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies possess immense potential in inferring battery SOH, and can extract aging information (i.e., SOH features) from measurements and relate them to battery performance parameters, avoiding a complex battery modeling process. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to showcase manuscripts showing efficient SOH estimation methods using AI which exhibit good performance such as high accuracy, high robustness against the changes in working condition, and good generalization, etc.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Effective data mining of features for AI methods;
  • Network structures (study of different AI technologies);
  • Learning strategies (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning);
  • Transferring AI-based models in between different battery technologies and applications;
  • Sequentially updated models (probabilistic methods, self-learning, etc.);
  • Physics-informed AI method for battery SOH estimation;
  • Digital twins for battery cells or system;
  • Hardware implementation of AI methods.

Today’s growing demand for lithium-ion batteries across various industrial sectors has introduced a new concern: battery aging. This issue necessitates the development of tools and models that can accurately predict battery aging. This study proposes a general framework for constructing battery aging models using machine learning techniques and compares these models with two existing empirical models, including a commercial one. To build the models, the databases produced by EVERLASTING and Bills et al. were utilized. The aim is to create universally applicable models that can address any battery-aging scenario. In this study, three types of models were developed: a vanilla neural network, a neural network inspired by extreme learning machines, and an encoder coupled with a neural network. The inputs for these models are derived from established knowledge in battery science, allowing the models to capture aging effects across different use cases. The models were trained on cells subjected to specific aging conditions and they were tested on other cells from the same database that experienced different aging conditions. The results obtained during the test for the vanilla neural network showed an RMSE of 1.3% on the Bills et al. test data and an RMSE of 2.7% on the EVERLASTING data, demonstrating similar or superior performance compared to the empirical models and proving the ability of the models to capture battery aging.

An accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) of Li-ion batteries is critical for the efficient and safe operation of battery-powered systems. Traditional methods for SOH estimation, such as Coulomb counting, often struggle with sensitivity to measurement noise and time-consuming tests. This study addresses this issue by combining incremental capacity (IC) analysis and a novel neural network, Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs). Fifteen features were extracted from IC curves and a 2RC equivalent circuit model was used to identify the internal resistance of batteries. Recursive least squares were used to identify the parameters of the equivalent circuit model. IC features and internal resistance were considered as input variables to establish the SOH estimation model. Three commonly used machine learning methods (BP, LSTM, TCN) and two hybrid algorithms (LSTM-KAN and TCN-KAN) were used to establish the SOH estimation model. The performance of the five models was compared and analyzed. The results demonstrated that the hybrid models integrated with the KAN performed better than the conventional models, and the LSTM-KAN model had higher estimation accuracy than that of the other models. The model achieved a mean absolute error of less than 0.412% in SOH prediction in the test and validation dataset. The proposed model does not require complete charge and discharge data, which provides a promising tool for the accurate monitoring and fast detection of battery SOH. Full article

Considering the diversity of battery data under dynamic test conditions, the stability of battery working data is affected due to the diversity of charge and discharge rates, variability of operating temperature, and randomness of the current state of charge, and the data types are multi-sourced, which increases the difficulty of estimating battery SOH based on data-driven methods. In this paper, a lithium-ion battery state of health estimation method with sample transfer learning under dynamic test conditions is proposed. Through the Tradaboost.R2 method, the weight of the source domain sample data is adjusted to complete the update of the sample data distribution. At the same time, considering the division methods of the six auxiliary and the source domain data set, aging features from different state of charge ranges are selected. It is verified that while the aging feature dimension and the demand for target domain label data are reduced, the estimation accuracy of the lithium-ion battery state of health is not affected by the initial value of the state of charge. By considering the mean absolute error, mean square error and root mean square error, the estimated error results do not exceed 1.2% on the experiment battery data, which highlights the advantages of the proposed methods.

Effectively extracting a lithium-ion battery’s impedance is of great importance for various onboard applications, which requires consideration of both the time consumption and accuracy of the measurement process. Although the pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) excitation signal can inject the superposition frequencies with high time efficiency and an easily implementable device, processing the data of the battery’s impedance measurement is still a challenge at present. This study proposes a fast impedance spectrum construction method for lithium-ion batteries, where a multi-density clustering algorithm was designed to effectively extract the useful impedance after PRBS injection. According to the distribution properties of the measurement points by PRBS, a density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) was used for processing the data of the lithium-ion battery’s impedance. The two key parameters of the DBSCAN were adjusted by a delicate workflow according to the frequency range. The validation of the proposed method was proved on a 3 Ah lithium-ion battery under nine different test conditions, considering both the SOC and temperature variations. Full article

Using different fast charging strategies for lithium-ion batteries can affect the degradation rate of the batteries. In this case, predicting the capacity fade curve can facilitate the application of new batteries. Considering the impact of fast charging strategies on battery aging, a battery capacity degradation trajectory prediction method based on the TM-Seq2Seq (Trend Matching—Sequence-to-Sequence) model is proposed. This method uses data from the first 100 cycles to predict the future capacity fade curve and EOL (end of life) in one-time. First, features are extracted from the discharge voltage-capacity curve. Secondly, a sequence-to-sequence model based on CNN, SE-net, and GRU is designed. Finally, a trend matching loss function is designed based on the common characteristics of capacity fade curves to constrain the encoding features of the sequence-to-sequence model, facilitating the learning of the underlying relationship between inputs and outputs. TM-Seq2Seq model is verified on a public dataset with 132 battery cells and multiple fast charging strategies. The experimental results indicate that, compared to other popular models, the TM-Seq2Seq model has lower prediction errors. Full article

The market for electric vehicles (EVs) has been growing in popularity, and by 2027, it is predicted that the market valuation will reach $869 billion. To support the growth of EVs in public road safety, advances in battery safety research for EV application should achieve low-cost, lightweight, and high safety protection. In this research, the development of a lightweight, crashworthy battery protection system using an excellent energy absorption capability is carried out. The lightweight structure was developed by using metastructure constructions with an arrangement of repeated lattice cellular structures. Three metastructure configurations (bi-stable, star-shaped, double-U) with their geometrical variables (thickness, inner spacing, cell stack) and material types (stainless steel, aluminium, and carbon steel) were evaluated until the maximum Specific Energy Absorptions (SEA) value was attained. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is utilised to simulate the mechanics of impact and calculate the optimum SEA of the various designs using machine learning methodology. Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) was used to derive the design variation by dividing the variables into 100 samples. The machine learning optimisation method utilises the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) to forecast the design that produces maximum SEA. The optimum control variables are star-shaped cells consisting of one vertical unit cell using aluminium material with a cross-section thickness of 2.9 mm. The optimum design increased the SEA by 5577% compared to the baseline design. The accuracy of the machine learning prediction is also verified using numerical simulation with a 2.83% error. Four different sandwich structure configurations are then constructed using the optimal geometry for prismatic battery protection subjected to ground impact loading conditions. An optimum configuration of 6×4×1 core cells arrangement results in a maximum displacement of 7.33 mm for the prismatic battery in the ground impact simulation, which is still less than the deformation threshold for prismatic battery safety of 10.423 mm. It is shown that the lightweight metastructure is very efficient for prismatic battery protection subjected to ground impact loading conditions. Full article
