Remaining useful life prediction of Lithium-ion batteries based on PSO-RF algorithm
Abstract
Accurately predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries is the key to the battery health management system. However, problems of unstable model output and extensive calculation limit the prediction accuracy. This article proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization Random Forest (PSO-RF) prediction method to improve the RUL prediction accuracy. First, the battery capacity extracted from the lithium-ion battery data set of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the University of Maryland Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) is set as the battery life health factor. Then, a PSO-RF prediction model is established based on the optimal parameters for the number of trees and the number of random features to split by the PSO algorithm. Finally, the experiment is verified on the NASA and CALCE data sets. The experiment results indicate that the method predicts RUL with Mean Absolute Error (MAE) less than 2%, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) less than 3%, and goodness of fit greater than 94%. This method solves the problem of parameter selection in the RF algorithm.
