Abstract:

The widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and other fields necessitates accurate prediction of their remaining useful life (RUL). Such predictions enable real-time monitoring of the battery's internal performance degradation, thereby reducing the risk associated with battery usage. We propose a combined prediction algorithm utilizing variational mode decomposition, sparrow search algorithm (SSA), and long short-term memory (LSTM) for predicting the remaining life of lithium-ion batteries. Initially, indirect health indicators for predicting RUL were extracted from the current, voltage, and temperature curves of the batteries. These indicators included isobaric charging time, isobaric charging energy, peak discharge temperature, and constant-current charging time. Subsequently, the VMD method was employed to decompose the capacity, aiming to avoid local fluctuations in capacity recovery and interference from test noise that could affect RUL prediction results. To address the susceptibility of traditional LSTM model hyperparameter settings toward experience and randomness, an SSA was proposed to optimize the parameters of the LSTM model, thereby enhancing the model's predictive capabilities. Ultimately, by utilizing NASA and CALCE datasets, a comparison was conducted between the proposed model and other models. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high predictive performance, with the root mean square error for RUL prediction of lithium-ion batteries consistently maintained within 2%.
