State of health estimation for lithium-ion batteries based on incremental capacity analysis under slight overcharge voltage
Abstract
Accurate and reliable estimation of state of health (SOH) for lithium-ion batteries under slight overcharge voltage cycling has great significance for battery management systems. In this study, commercial lithium-ion phosphate batteries are investigated under slight overcharge voltage cycling. The aging mechanism is discussed based on incremental capacity analysis and differential voltage analysis. Moreover, the syncretic health indicator is obtained from the incremental capacity curves based on principal component analysis. Specifically, the capacity retention and Coulombic efficiency are analyzed under slight overcharge voltage cycling. The incremental capacity peaks (i.e., peak B and peak C) are discussed to extract potential health indicators, and a syncretic health indicator is adopted based on principal component analysis. Finally, the Gaussian process regression is established for accuracy SOH estimation with a 95% confidence interval under small data of slight overcharge cycling. In comparison with the traditional methods, the proposed method exhibits higher accuracy with a 95% confidence interval, and the error is limited to 3%.
