State-of-health estimation by virtual experiments using recurrent decoder-encoder based lithium-ion digital battery twins trained on unstructured battery data

Due to the large share of production costs, the lifespan of an electric vehicle’s (EV) lithium-ion traction battery should be as long as possible. The optimisation of the EV’s operating strategy with regard to battery life requires a regular evaluation of the battery’s state-of-health (SOH). Yet the SOH, the remaining battery capacity, cannot
be measured directly through sensors but requires the elaborate conduction of special characterisation tests. Considering the limited number of test facilities as well as the rapidly growing number of EVs, time-efficient and scalable SOH estimation methods are urgently needed and are the object of investigation in this work. The developed virtual SOH experiment originates from the incremental capacity measurement and solely relies on the commonly logged battery management system (BMS) signals to train the digital battery twins. The first examined dataset with identical load profiles for new and aged battery state serves as proof of concept. The successful SOH estimation based on the second dataset that consists of varying load profiles with increased complexity constitutes a step towards the application on real driving cycles. Assuming that the load cycles contain pauses and start from the fully charged battery state, the SOH estimation succeeds either through a steady shift of the load sequences (variant one) with an average deviation of 0.36% or by random alignment of the dataset’s subsequences (variant two) with 1.04%. In contrast to continuous capacity tests, the presented
framework does not impose restrictions to small currents. It is entirely independent of the prevailing and unknown ageing condition due to the application of battery models based on the novel encoder–decoder architecture and thus provides the cornerstone for a scalable and robust estimation of battery capacity on a pure data basis.
