A Novel Approach for State of Health Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Improved PSO Neural Network Model

Abstract

The operation and maintenance of futuristic electric vehicles need accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To address this issue, a robust neural network framework is proposed to estimate the SOH. This article developed a novel approach that combines improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) with bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) to effectively address the issue of precisely estimating SOH. The proposed IPSO-Bi-LSTM model is more effective than the other models for SOH estimation. This is because Bi-LSTM can capture both past and future appropriate information, making it more suitable for modeling complicated temporal sequences. The IPSO main objective is to optimize the model hyperparameters. To increase the model’s accuracy, the IPSO improves the parameters. The PSO-Bi-LSTM model performed better than the other approaches, according to experimental findings based on the NASA-PCOE battery dataset, and all of the SOH estimated outcomes, such as root mean square errors, were less than 0.50%. This result suggests that the proposed PSO-Bi-LSTM model has the ability to robustly estimate the SOH with a high accuracy.
