Abstract:

In practical applications, complete charge-discharge curves are often unavailable. To address this issue, this study proposes a lithium-ion battery state of health (SOH) estimation method using short-term stochastic charging data and an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN). The goal is to develop an efficient technique that accommodates the random and disordered nature of charging processes in real-world scenarios. The proposed method segments the original charging voltage time-series data of lithium batteries to generate randomized charging data. A shallow CNN comprising four convolutional layers is then constructed to adaptively extract aging-related features from the data. In addition, the dung beetle optimization algorithm is employed to optimize the model parameters, resulting in a multistage model. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately estimate the SOH of Li-ion batteries during stochastic charging, even when using only five consecutive seconds (100 data points) of raw voltage time-series data. The practicality and accuracy of the proposed model were validated under various charging conditions and rates. The results demonstrate that the model continues to exhibit a low prediction error. The average absolute error of the SOH estimation is less than 2.07% under constant current-voltage charging mode and less than 1.22% under multistage constant current charging mode. In the model comparison, the proposed CNN-based method achieved an average mean absolute error of 1.17%, outperforming integrated prediction models, such as the CNN-Long Short-Term Memory Network and CNN-Gated Recurrent Unit, in terms of estimation accuracy and stability. In addition, the randomized voltage segment used in the CNN accounted for 88.9% of the total charging time, is higher than the other two prediction models. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in addressing the stochastic nature of battery charging data, demonstrating excellent accuracy and high adaptability in the context of charging rates, charging modes, and random charging voltage data over short periods. This results of this study provide a crucial technical reference for future advancement in battery health monitoring and battery management systems.
