The maximum available capacity is an important indicator for determining the State-of-Health (SOH) of a lithium-ion battery. Upon analyzing the experimental results of the cycle life and open circuit voltage tests, a novel health factor which can be used to characterize the maximum available capacity was proposed to predict the battery’s SOH. The health factor proposed contains the features extracted from the terminal voltage drop during the battery rest. In real applications, obtaining such health factor has the following advantages. The battery only needs to have a rest after it is charged or discharged, it is easy to implement. Charging or discharging a battery to a specific voltage rather than a specific state of charge which is difficult to obtain the accurate value, so the health factor has high accuracy. The health factor is not dependent on the cycle number of the cycle life test of the battery and it is less dependent on charging or discharging current rate, as a result, the working conditions have less effect on the health factor. Further, the paper adopted a support vector machine approach to connect the healthy factor to the maximum available battery capacity of the battery. The experimental results show that the proposed method can predict the SOH of the battery well.
The performance behavior of the lithium-ion battery can be simulated by the battery model and thus applied to a variety of practical situations. Although the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has been used for the battery model development, it is usually unable to find an optimal solution during the iteration process. To resolve this problem, an adaptive random disturbance PSO algorithm is proposed. The optimal solution can be updated continuously by obtaining a new random location around the particle's historical optimal location. There are two conditions considered to perform the model process. Initially, the test operating condition is used to validate the model effectiveness. Secondly, the verification operating condition is used to validate the model generality. The performance results show that the proposed model can achieve higher precision in the lithium-ion battery behavior, and it is feasible for wide applications in industry.
