An Incremental Capacity Analysis‐based State‐of‐health Estimation Model for Lithium‐ion Batteries in High‐power Applications

The Incremental Capacity (IC) is a rich source of data for the state‐of‐health estimation of lithium‐ion batteries. This data is typically collected during a low C‐rate (dis)charge of the battery which is not representative of many real‐world applications outside the research laboratories. Here, this limitation is showcased to be mitigated by employing a new feature‐extraction technique applied to a large dataset including 105 batteries with cycle lives ranging from 158 to 1637 cycles. The state‐of‐health of these batteries is successfully predicted with a mean‐absolute‐percentage error below 0.7 % by using three regression models of support vector regressor, multi‐layer perceptron, and random forest. The methodologies proposed in this work facilitate the development of accurate IC‐based state‐of‐health predictors for lithium‐ion batteries in on‐board applications.
