Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Lithium-ion Batteries Based on Wiener Process Under Time-Varying Temperature Condition

Abstract

Time-varying temperature condition has a significant impact on discharge capacity and aging law of lithium-ion battery. Consequently, a novel remaining useful life (RUL) prediction method for lithium-ion battery under time-varying temperature condition is developed in this paper. Firstly, a stochastic degradation rate model based on Arrhenius temperature model is proposed, and an interesting battery capacity conversion path from random temperature condition to reference temperature condition is established. Secondly, the aging model of lithium-ion battery under time-varying temperature condition is developed based on Wiener process, and a two-step unbiased estimation method based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) combined with genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. Next, the random parameter is online updated under Bayesian framework. Then the probability density function (PDF) of the RUL for lithium-ion battery under time-varying temperature condition is derived. Finally, a case study is implemented to verify the effectiveness, and the results show that the proposed prediction method has higher accuracy and smaller uncertainty.
