Abstract:

The prediction of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of lithium-ion battery has significant value for the study of the usage and maintenance of batteries. A method for RUL prediction of lithium-ion batteries based on differential voltage and Elman neural network is proposed. Firstly, based on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration' (NASA) lithium-ion battery data set, the differential voltage curve and charge-discharge curve of the battery are analyzed, and the characteristic quantity of battery capacity degradation is extracted. Secondly, the correlation between characteristic parameters is studied by Pearson method. The inflexion point of charging differential voltage curve, peak value of discharging differential voltage curve, as well as the discharging time and resting time are determined as indirect health factors of battery RUL prediction. Finally, an Elman neural network employed the inputs of above indirect health factors and the output of battery capacity is established to predict RUL of lithium-ion batteries. The comparative experiments of four kinds of battery capacity prediction based on different indirect health factors and different neural networks show that the prediction accuracy of battery life can be improved by adding the initial inflection point of charging differential voltage curve and the peak value of discharge differential voltage curve into the indirect health factors, and the Elman neural network can accurately predict the battery capacity. The mean root mean square error (RMSE) of the prediction of battery RUL based on different cycle times is 1.55%.
