Abstract

Obtaining an accurate estimate of the state of health of a lithium-ion battery is important for its efficiency and stability, but it's hard because the aging processes are so complicated and non-linear. Deep neural networks and long short-term memory networks are powerful tools, but their potential is often not realized if the raw operating features fail to capture synergistic aging mechanisms. This article proposes a novel two-stage hybrid feature engineering methodology to address this constraint. In the first stage, the method uses a binary particle swarm optimization algorithm to look for a small set of important predictive features. In the second stage, the parsimonious subset is enhanced with a physics-constrained Electro-Thermal Interaction Feature that incorporates terminal voltage and temperature interaction stresses. The resulting feature set was subsequently utilized for the training and evaluation of both deep neural networks and long short-term memory networks models. Adding the electro-thermal interaction feature significantly improves the predictability of both models on the primary B05 cell, raising the R² value from about 0.93 to over 0.99. To assess generalizability, the framework was rigorously validated using a cross-battery approach on two additional cells (B07 and B055), where the models maintained high performance with an average R² > 0.97. The findings indicate that domain-knowledge-intensive feature engineering significantly influences performance more than the architectural decision between deep neural networks and long short-term memory networks, facilitating highly accurate and robust state of health predictions, which are crucial in advanced battery management systems.
