State of Health Estimation Method for Lithium-Ion Batteries via Generalized Additivity Model and Transfer Component Analysis

Battery state of health (SOH) is a momentous indicator for aging severity recognition of lithium-ion batteries and is also an indispensable parameter of the battery management system. In this paper, an innovative SOH estimation algorithm based on feature transfer is proposed for lithium-ion batteries. Firstly, sequence features with battery aging information are sufficiently extracted based on the capacity increment curve. Secondly, transfer component analysis is employed to obtain the mapping that minimizes the data distribution difference between the training set and the test set in the shared feature space. Finally, the generalized additive model is investigated to estimate the battery health status. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of forecasting the SOH for lithium-ion batteries, and the results are more outstanding than those of several comparison algorithms. The predictive error evaluation indicators for each battery are both less than 2.5%. In addition, satisfactory SOH estimation results can also be obtained by only relying on a small amount of data as the training set. The comparative experiments using traditional features and different machine learning methods also testify to the superiority of the proposed algorithm.
