Temporal Attention Mechanism Based Indirect Battery Capacity Prediction Combined with Health Feature Extraction

Abstract

The burgeoning utilization of lithium-ion batteries within electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems has catapulted the capacity prediction of such batteries to a pivotal research frontier in the energy storage domain. Precise capacity prognostication is instrumental not merely in safeguarding battery operation but also in prolonging its operational lifespan. The indirect battery capacity prediction model presented in this study is based on a time-attention mechanism and aims to reveal hidden patterns in battery data and improve the accuracy of battery capacity prediction, thereby facilitating the development of a robust time series prediction model. Initially, pivotal health indicators are distilled from an extensive corpus of battery data. Subsequently, this study proposes an indirect battery capacity prediction model intertwined with health feature extraction, hinged on the time-attention mechanism. The efficacy of the proposed model is assayed through a spectrum of assessment metrics and juxtaposed against other well-entrenched deep learning models. The model’s efficacy is validated across various battery datasets, with the Test Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Test Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values consistently falling below 0.74% and 1.63%, respectively, showcasing the model’s commendable predictive prowess and reliability in the lithium-ion battery capacity prediction arena.
