Prediction of service battery capacity considering the characteristics of the degradation phase
Accurate prediction of lithium-ion battery capacity is of great significance for its safe and stable operation. Hence
this study refers to lithium-ion batteries as batteries
refers to batteries with known full-life cycle data as test batteries
refers to batteries currently in use with limited data as in-service batteries
and proposes an in-service battery capacity prediction model based on transfer learning that accounts for degradation phase characteristics. First
the double Bacon-Watts method is adopted to divide the entire life cycle of test batteries into three degradation phases: early
middle
and end phases. Subsequently
a phased matching mechanism for batteries is constructed. Based on the Time Warping Edit Distance between the early-stage capacity data of test batteries and the capacity data of in-service batteries
this mechanism obtains test batteries compatible with in-service batteries through a two-step screening process
providing high-quality data samples for subsequent model training. On the basis of phase division
the phase code is characterized by identifying both the current phase attribution of the test battery and the relative position information within that phase. Then
a multi-layer perceptron is applied to perform feature mapping on the phase codes. The mapped phase features are embedded into a long short-term memory network
while an accelerated degradation loss term is introduced simultaneously to guide the model in learning the actual degradation law of batteries
thereby achieving capacity prediction for the test batteries. Finally
the prediction model parameters of the test batteries are fine-tuned and then transferred to the capacity prediction task of in-service batteries. Validation was conducted using the public dataset from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The model's prediction results show that the mean absolute error
mean absolute percentage error
and Root Mean Squared Error are all below 1%
providing a reliable solution for the early-phase capacity prediction of in-service batteries.
