Electrochemical aging model of lithium-ion battery with impedance output and its parameter sensitivity analysis and identification

Abstract

The electrochemical model of the battery has gained widespread recognition due to its clear physical interpretability. However, achieving an accurate electrochemical model heavily relies on precise parameter settings. To address this challenge, various model-based parameter optimization methods have been developed. Currently, most research relies on model reduction techniques and heuristic random search methods for parameter identification. These approaches often lead to time-consuming processes and a loss of physical interpretability in the electrochemical model. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel technical framework that directly parametrizes the electrochemical model. First, we establish a battery electrochemical model that accounts for lithium plating and SEI film thickening, serving as the main focus of this study. Secondly, in order to expedite parameter identification without compromising the model's physical interpretability, we innovate by performing comprehensive sensitivity analysis using voltage and impedance characteristics. This allows us to identify the most influential parameters, which become the key for subsequent research. Finally, to ensure reasonable initialization of finite element computations and to avoid convergence issues in the identification algorithm, we combine machine learning and optimization algorithms into a two-step parameter identification method. By utilizing the proposed method to identify the model parameters, the simulations exhibit high accuracy.
