A Hyperparameter-Tuned LSTM Technique-Based Battery Remaining Useful Life Estimation Considering Incremental Capacity Curves

Abstract

In recent years, battery degradation has become a critical concern in various industries, including electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable electronics. To address this issue, data-driven techniques have emerged as a promising approach for lithium-ion battery (LIB) degradation analysis and estimation. This paper focuses on the application of incremental capacity curves (ICCs) in battery degradation analysis using data-driven techniques. The incremental capacity curve is a powerful tool that provides valuable insights into the capacity degradation of a battery. By analyzing the changes in the ICC over time, it is possible to identify and quantify battery degradation phenomena such as capacity fade, impedance growth, and aging effects. However, manually analyzing ICCs can be time-consuming and subjective, leading to potential errors and inconsistencies. To overcome these challenges, hyperparameter-tuned Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) techniques are employed to automate the analysis of ICCs and extract meaningful degradation information. These techniques leverage statistical models to process large volumes of ICC data and identify degradation patterns. By training these models on historical data, they can accurately predict battery degradation and estimate the remaining useful life (RUL) of a battery. Further, to enhance the performance of estimation of RUL of the battery. A hyperparameter-tuned LSTM technique has been proposed. The proposed technique has been compared with well-known techniques (i.e. Fully Connected Neural Network (FNN), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)). The results depict that the proposed robust LSTM technique outperforms well in terms of computational cost and speed. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed technique, error analysis has been carried out. The simulation and experimental results depict that the proposed hyperparameter-tuned LSTM model results in very low error indices such as RMSE, MEA, and MAPE as 0.0246, 0.0159 and 1.03 compared with models such as FNN, ANN and CNN. The proposed hyperparameter-tuned LSTM technique depicts a lesser error. By leveraging machine learning and statistical models. The results of this study contribute to the advancement of battery management systems and the optimization of battery usage in various applications.
