Abstract:

Accurately predicting the charging time of lithium batteries can improve charging efficiency and optimize resource allocation-an important factor for developing electric vehicles. This study proposes an adaptive prediction method for electric vehicle charging duration under different modes based on a deep feature fusion model. First, vehicle operation data collected by a new energy vehicle monitoring platform are cleaned and segmented, and charging modes are classified based on voltage, current, and average power to form fast- and slow-charging datasets. Next, based on the charging dataset, principal component analysis is applied to extract model input features. Then, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) model is constructed by integrating the attention mechanism to obtain intermediate features through a nonlinear mapping of input features. As features directly extracted from raw data cannot fully capture the complex relationship with charging duration, a random forest (RF) model is introduced to construct leaf-node rule features based on the internal splitting principle of RF, exploring implicit feature information. A "rule layer" is subsequently established in the MLP to fuse intermediate and rule features, achieving structural fusion of the two models. Finally, the prediction results of the attention MLP-RF fusion model are validated, demonstrating an average absolute error of 4.25 and 6.68 minutes for fast-and slow-charging modes, respectively, with an average absolute percentage error of 4.33% and 3.86%, indicating accurate prediction of different electric vehicle charging durations. Moreover, this method maintains high accuracy in predicting charging duration under battery aging and short-term charging conditions, with an average prediction error of less than 2 min. Overall, the fusion model demonstrates strong predictive performance and generalization capabilities.
