Abstract

:
Battery sensor data collection and transmission are essential for battery management systems (BMS). Since inaccurate battery data brought on by sensor faults, communication issues, or even cyber-attacks can impose serious harm on BMS and adversely impact the overall dependability of BMS-based applications, such as electric vehicles, it is critical to assess the durability of battery sensor and communication data in BMS. Sensor data are necessary for a BMS to perform every operation. Effective sensor fault detection is crucial for the sustainability and security of electric vehicle battery systems. This research suggests a system for battery data, especially lithium ion batteries, that allows deep learning-based detection and the classification of faulty battery sensor and transmission information. Initially, we collected the sensor data, and preprocessing was carried out using z-score normalization. The features were extracted using sparse principal component analysis (SPCA), and enhanced marine predators algorithm (EMPA) was used for feature selection. The BMS’s safety and dependability may be enhanced by the suggested incipient bat-optimized deep residual network (IB-DRN)-based false battery data identification and classification system. Simulations using MATLAB (2021a), along with statistics, machine learning, and a deep learning toolbox, along with experimental research, were used to show and assess how well the suggested strategy performs. It is shown to be superior to traditional approaches.

1. Introduction

The transportation sector is responsible for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. However, the development of battery-powered energy storage devices, including electric vehicles, hybrid locomotives, and other e-mobility applications, has the potential to positively impact this sector. Energy storage systems are essential components of smart grid and electric vehicle technologies, enabling the efficient transmission and distribution of energy. With a variety of batteries available on the market, there are numerous options for energy storage purposes.
For EV applications, battery heat control is crucial. Internationally, EV charging stations are extensively utilized, and ports at both private and public charging stations have been increased [1]. Due to the growing dependence on EVs, high voltages, high efficiency, and longer life-span battery systems are necessary, requiring improved battery monitoring techniques. Electric vehicles employ battery management systems (BMS) to monitor, regulate, and shield Li-ion batteries from harsh conditions and abuse. Cell balancing, which occurs as a result of differences in a cell impedance, temperature, and self-discharge characteristics, is one of the crucial functions of BMS. Cell balancing systems are divided into passive and active types [2]. The battery management system may perform a wide range of tasks, but most academics concentrate on estimating the state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH), and fault diagnostic approaches received little attention until recent incidents involving battery systems in EVs. Additionally, if the acquisition sensor is faulty, other BMS activities that depend on data-gathering may be hampered, further affecting the battery system’s safety. Hence, sensor fault diagnostics is crucial for ensuring a BMS’s smooth functioning [3]. A overview block diagram for battery management system is demonstrated in Figure 1 below.
The battery management systems cannot function without the data that the current, voltage, and temperature sensors collect. Due to hundreds of such sensors used in electric vehicle battery packs to monitor the currents, voltages, and temperatures for each battery cell, the risk of a problem occurring in a single voltage or current sensor has considerably increased. A sensor malfunction may lead to poor battery performance or possibly significant safety risks [4]. The BMS in EVs consists of a large number of circuits, parts, power electronics, sensors, actuators, diodes, capacitors, inductors, transformers, switches, converters, and safety equipment, all of which are managed by a large number of algorithms, models, and control signals. The creation of suitable algorithms for BMSs has been the subject of much study. Model-based techniques and intelligent methods are the strategies used in BMSs the most often [5].
The organization of this paper is as follows: “Abbreviations and their Definitions” used in this research are detailed in Table 1 of the introductory section. Section 2 presents related works, while Section 3 overviews the methodology. Section 4 presents the performance analysis. Discussions are presented in Section 5, and finally, the conclusions are given in Section 6.

Problem Statement

When a fault with a vehicle’s charging system causes the operating voltage to fall below 12 volts, a malfunction appears on the instrument cluster. However, because of their simplicity, electrical ECM-based techniques are used in most real systems. The three research issues facing modern BMS are safety, efficiency, and dependability. Issues concerning display screens, external door lights, broken temperature sensors, uneven paint, seals, and weather stripping are all common complaints from electric vehicle owners.

3. Methodology

Vehicle controllers or ECUs that impose deep-learning and model-tuning algorithms make use of input sensors data as mainstream to perform continuous learning through algorithms. The block diagram below represents sensor data collection and the processing of sensor data that are used for feature extraction and optimization in electric vehicle controllers. In addition, this paper focuses on techniques for deriving performance analysis from collected sensor data.

3.1. Process Overview

The article outlines a research principle that focuses on the deep learning-based sensor fault identification of BMS systems. The research is categorized into six critical steps, as represented in Figure 2—“Overview of Research Process”.
Step 1—The initial step involves collecting sensor data that reflect the battery’s outward features. New sensors, such as built-in pressure sensors and acoustic sensors, can be utilized to obtain parameters that characterize battery internal state information, which helps to achieve specific fault isolations accurately. Table 2 lists out the sensor sample data utilized for the research.
Step 2—Sample datasets from sensors undergo preliminary processing to ensure their plausibility and to normalize information using the Z-score, making them ready for primary processing and analysis.
Step 3—The sample datasets are fed into a feature extraction model that is based on the principle of the “sparse principal component analysis (SPCA)” theorem for data processing and reorganization from feature extractions.
Step 4 and Step 5—The extracted data are utilized for feature selection, which runs on the “marine predator’s algorithm” (MPA) to simulate the interactions between marine predators and their prey, as further explained in the phases outlined in Section 3.5. Additionally, the optimization of BMS sensor data feature selections is performed using the “incipient bat algorithm” to find prey during the search process, as described in detail in Section 3.6.
Step 6—The final step of the research is to evaluate the “Performance Analysis” for the framework described in Section 3. The performance analysis is based on the evaluation of parameters such as mean square error, root mean square error, accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. The results are compared to existing methods, and a detailed analysis is presented in Section 4 of the research.

3.2. Sensor Data Collection

The data gathered by the sensors only reflect the battery’s outward features not its inside conditions. Additionally, there is a connection between several faults, and the characteristics of each fault are not always clear. Therefore, achieving reliable fault detection and separation from unidentified fault data remains exceedingly difficult. New sensors (such as built-in pressure sensors, acoustic sensors, etc.) can be used to obtain parameters characterizing the battery’s internal state information in order to accurately achieve specific fault isolation. Table 2 lists sensor sample data collected for the feature extraction model. This is in addition to extracting fault categorization variables based on fault data [27].

3.3. Preprocessing Using Z-Score Normalization

The data obtained from the sensors have undergone preliminary processing in order to be ready for primary processing and for analysis [28]. Preliminary processing involves checking the plausibility of data and normalizing the information.
To accomplish Z-score normalization, also called zero normalization, the mean and standard deviation for each characteristic in a training set are obtained and divided by several variables in a training dataset. Mean and standard deviation are determined for each attribute [29]. The transformation to be performed is specified in the general formula
c = ( c μ ) σ ,
where the average of c is μ and its standard deviation is σ [30]. All of the features in the dataset are normalized using the z-score process before training can begin. After a set of training data has been computed, it is critical to maintain the standard deviation and mean for each feature so that they may be utilized as weights in the system’s design.

3.4. Feature Extraction

Feature Extraction Using Sparse Principal Component Analysis

Statistical analysis or the analysis for multivariate datasets for feature extractions is performed on the principle of sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) [31]. Data extractions are principally carried out by introducing sparsity structures to input variables, where SPCA enhances the effectiveness of the traditional technique for dimensionality and reduction, commonly known as principal component analysis (PCA).
Assume that the data X is a K × P matrix, where K and P represent the number of variables and observations, respectively. Assume that the column means of X were all zeros to preserve generality.
K × P = U D V T
Consider that SVD of X is in Equation (3),
X = U D V T
where T denotes transposition. The columns for V are the equivalent loadings of the principal components, and U is the unit-length principal component (PC). A “self-contained” regression-type criterion to generate main components is presented in the following theorem. Consider the first L primary components. Let the P × L matrices be α and β . The ith row vector of matrix X is designated as X i . Whenever >0, let the following Equation (4) be
^ β ^ = a r g m i n α , β i = 1 n X i α β T X i 2 + λ j = 1 L | β j 2 |
Subject to α T T α = I L , then β i ^ α V i for i = 1,2 , k , effectively convert the PCA issue into a ridge regression issue. Here, we discuss the relationship between PCA and regression and utilize the lasso technique to generate sparser loadings, also known as regression coefficients. To achieve this objective, we incorporate the lasso penalty into the criterion outlined in Equation (4) and formulate the following optimization problem listed in Equation (5). We investigate the following elastic net regularization issue by adding the lasso penalty to the criterion in order to obtain sparse loadings.
α ^ β ^ = a r g m i n α , β i = 1 n | | X i α β T X i | 2 + λ j = 1 L β j 2 + j = 1 L λ 1 , j β j 1
Subject to α T T α = I k .
By selecting the proper λ 1 and λ 1 , j , we arrive at a sparse solution, from which we derive a sparse vector V i ^ = β ^ β ^ of unit length that approximates V i .
An optimization problem can be formulated for SPCA by introducing an elastic net constraint for a fixed α. To address this issue, an alternate minimization procedure can be utilized to minimize the SPCA criteria. Detailed mathematical formulas are available to implement SPCA. Due to its sparsity, SPCA has been widely used in gene expression analysis as it facilitates the understanding of data and the identification of key genes. In addition, sparsity can aid in the generalization of a learned model and prevent over-fitting. Therefore, incorporating sparsity in face recognition can potentially lead to improved recognition results.
One of the disadvantages of PCA is that, as previously stated, every component of a loading matrix V is often non-zero, which makes it difficult to understand the generated PCs and may impede the identification of important trends and patterns in datasets. In order to produce a sparse V matrix, sparse principal component analysis is used to decrease the number of variables which explicitly have non-zero loadings. To conduct SPCA, PCA is reconfigured as a regression-type optimization problem with a quadratic penalty.
A following optimization problems is addressed in order to acquire the sparse principal component (SPCs), taking into consideration that in the first k PCs, xi denotes the ith row vector of an original data matrix X, A p × K = α 1 , α 2 , , α k and B P × K = β 1 , β 2 , , β k . Equation (6) is described below:
A ^ B ^ = A r g m i n A , B i = 1 n | x i A B T | 2 + λ j = 1 k | β j | 2 + j = 1 k λ 1 , j | β j | 1
Subject to A T A = I K × K .
Where λ 1 , j is permitted to penalize the loadings of various PCs and λ > 0 and different 1 are acceptable.
Let V ^ = V 1 , ^ V k ^ represent the altered PCs, commonly known as SPCA. t r V ^ T V ^ is too pessimistic to accurately reflect the overall variance because the columns for V ^ are correlated. We can quickly obtain an adjusted variance by using the QR decomposition and accounting for the correlations between the columns of V ^ . If Q is orthonormal and R is higher triangular, then assuming V ^ = QR, Equations (7)–(10) are
S V = d i a g q r X V ^ 2 n
P V E = S V s u m S V × 100 %
E ^ = s u m S V P × 100 %
V ^ , E ^ = S P C A X , N , K
The SPCA proportion of explained variation (PVE) is indicated, where the X is the data matrix; the number of selected PCs is k; in each SPC, N = N 1 , N 2 , , N K 1 N i p is the required NNZL; V ^ = V 1 , ^ V 2 , ^ , V k ^ is the vectors of sparse loading; and the cumulative percent variance of SPCA is E ^ .

3.5. Feature Selection Using Enhanced Marine Predators’ Algorithm

An innovative population-based optimization technique that has seen extensive usage in practical optimization applications is the improved marine predator’s algorithm (EMPA). However, due to a lack of population variety in the late stages of optimization, EMPA may quickly enter a local optimum. The three stages of the marine predator’s algorithm simulates the interactions between marine predators and their prey as shown in Table 3 of enhanced MPA algorithm matrix. The following is a summary of these actions, which indicate the predator’s stride size as it pursues its prey.
Phase 1: When the velocity ratio is large (V > 10), the predator outruns the prey. This phase begins in the first third of exploration iterations, and the following equations represent it mathematically. According to Equations (11)–(13),
p r e y i = p r e y i = P . R a n d B s t e p s i z e i i f t < M a x T 3
s t e p s i z e i i f t = P . R a n d B E l i t e i R a n d B p r e y i , i = 1 , , N
R a n d B = 1 2 π e x p x 2 2
where R is the vector made up of random values between 0 and 1. Entry-wise multiplications are indicated by the notation, and p = 0.5. Max T is the maximum number of iterations, where t is the current iteration and N the population size. Using the Brownian motion, R a n d B creates a vector of random integers that derives the step size from a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and unit variance of 1. The fittest solution is included in the E l i t e i matrix, which is suggested as a top predator. We may determine the probability density function (PDF) at a location x using this motion and the formula in Equation (13).
Phase 2: The predator and a prey are represented by unit velocity ratio ( V 1 ) move at same velocity. The Lévy distribution utilizes Brownian motion exploitation. As a result, the algorithm explores the first half of a population, whereas the other half is reserved for abuse. The prey movement is updated by the distribution of Lévy as follows. The following Equations (14)–(18) are described below,
p r e y i = p r e y i + P . R a n d L s t e p s i z e i , i = 1 , N / 2 i f M a x T 3 < t < 2 M a x T 3
s t e p s i z e = R a n d L E l i t e i R a n d B p r e y i
z = 0.05 × Q Y 1 / α , Q   N 0 , σ 2 , Y   N o r m a l ( 0 , 1 )
σ 2 = Γ 1 + α * s i n π α 2 α * Γ 1 + α 2 2 α 1 2 1 / α , α = 1.5
R a n d L = γ Γ 1 + α s i n π α 2 π z 1 + α
where z defines the step size, σ 2 is the variance, and =1.5 and Q and Y are two random values generated from the normal distribution computed by generating two random numbers and applying Gaussian distribution quantities Q and Y. R a n d L is a vector for random data produced using the Mantegna method of Lévy distribution. We revise the employment of the second half of the Brownian motion equation and the predator movement population. According to the following Equations (19)–(21):
p r e y i = p r e y i + P . C F s t e p s i z e i , i = N 2 , , N i f M a x T 3 < t < 2 M a x T 3
s t e p s i z e = R a n d B E l i t e i R a n d B p r e y i
C f = 1 t M a x _ T 2 t M A X _ T
where CF is an adaptive variable that regulates the motion of the predator’s step size.
Phase 3: With a low velocity ratio (V = 1), a predator outruns the prey by a factor of three in the last third of repetitions. This is mathematically expressed as the following Equations (22)–(24):
p r e y i = E l i t e i + P . C F s t e p s i z e i , i = N 2 , , n i f t > 2 M a x T 3
s t e p s i z e = R a n d L R a n d L E l i t e i p r e y i
p r e y i = { p r e y i + C F X m i n + R D m a x D m i n B i f r   F A D s p r e y i + F A D s 1 r + r p r e y r a n d 1 p r e y r a n d 2 i f r > F A D s

3.6. Incipient Bat-Optimized Deep Residual Network

Incipient bat algorithm is an optimization method that draws inspiration from the way that bats use echolocation to find their meals as shown in Table 4 enhanced MPA-Incipient Bat algorithm. The initial additions to a bat search algorithm were made, and simulations were run in accordance with several idealistic guidelines.
  • Each bat employs the advantages of echolocation to look for prey and avoid obstacles.
  • Each bat searches for food by flying at a velocity vi, location xi, constant frequency fmin, variable wavelength, and loudness L0. Depending on how close the target is, bats may automatically change the frequency of their produced pulses and the rate of pulse emission r in the range [0, 1].
  • A minimal constant value Lmin and a large positive number L0 represent the range of loudness Lm.
The location and velocity of the bat at time t should be specified and updated throughout the optimization process. Equations (25)–(27) provide the new location x i t + 1 and velocity v i t + 1 at time t + 1 .
f i = f m i n + f m a x f m i n β
v i t + 1 = v i t + x i t x * f i
x i t + 1 = x i t + v i t + 1
where f i is the uniformly drawn pulse frequency of bat I, as represented by ( f m i n , f m a x ). The outcome of comparing all the solutions among all bats is x, which represents the current global best position (i.e., solution). x is a random integer in the range [0, 1]. Once one of the best current solutions has been chosen, a new solution is created locally for each bat using random walk. This procedure may be thought of as a local search and is described by Equation (28)
x n e w = x o l d + L T
When a bat finds a prey during the search process, the loudness typically drops and its pulse emission progressively rises. The loudness L i or pulse emission ri were updated in accordance with Equations (29) and (30) under the assumption that L m i n = 0 indicates that a bat has located his prey (i.e., a solution):
L i t + 1 = β L i t
r i t + 1 = r i 0 1 e x p γ t
whereas γ is a positive constant and β is a random integer in the range [1, 1].
Consider A as an example of a useful function that the residual network learns. Whenever there are no skip connections present, the identity function must be matched by adjusting the weights and bias values. The nonlinearity in the layers makes it considerably more difficult to learn the identity function from scratch, which, in turn, causes degeneration. Equations (31) and (32) defined below.
h x = g x + x
The model’s capacity to learn and adjust to novel circumstances is facilitated by this. To create a straightforward linear function, we may have inserted a skip link before the relu block in the residual network using a single weight layer.
F x = W x + x

4. Performance Analysis

The overall behavior of the recommended framework is discussed in this section. Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 shows the comparison of parameters, such as mean square error, root mean square error, accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score for existing, and proposed methods. The approaches include the artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), linear regression (LR), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and incipient bat-optimized deep residual network (IB-DRN).
To determine a test’s accuracy, it must correctly distinguish between patient and healthy samples. Calculating the ratio of positive to negative results across all instances is a good way to obtain a sense of a test’s reliability. The accuracy Equation (33) is described given below:
A c c u r a c y = T P + T N   T P + T N + F P + F N
Figure 3 displays the results of the accuracy calculations for both the proposed and the existing procedures. According to the aforementioned graph, the proposed approach of incipient bat-optimized deep residual network (IB-DRN) has a 98% higher accuracy than the existing methods, such as artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), linear regression (LR), and Gaussian process regression.
Precision is determined by dividing the total numbers of true positives and false positives by the imbalanced classification problem’s two classes. According to the following Equation (34)
P r e c i s i o n = T P T P + F P
Figure 4 represents the precision results of the proposed and existing methodologies. As shown in Figure 4, the suggested approach of IB-DRN has a higher precision (90%) than the existing methods, such as ANN, SVM, LR, and GPR.
By dividing the real positives by anything else which should have been projected as positive, recall (also known as the true positive rate) is obtained. The recall results utilizing both the suggested and current methodologies are shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 above demonstrates that the suggested approach of IB-DRN has a higher recall than the existing methods. Equation (35) is given below:
R e c a l l = T P T P + F N
The geometric mean of recall and accuracy is used to obtain the F1 score. The recall of the harmonic mean is a substitute measure for the more often used arithmetic mean. This is often useful when calculating an average rate. We calculate the average of accuracy and recall for the F1 score. Equation (36) described below:
F 1 s c o r e = T P T P + 1 2 ( F P + F N )
Figure 6 depicts the F1 score calculations for the proposed and existing methodologies. The aforementioned graph shows that the suggested method of IB-DRN has a greater F1 score than the existing techniques.
One of the methods most often used to assess the accuracy of forecasts is root mean square error, also known as the root mean square deviation. It illustrates the Euclidean distance between measured true values and forecasts. Equation (37) is described below:
R M S E = i = 1 N y i y ^ ( i ) 2 N
Figure 7 represents the precision results of the proposed and existing methodologies. As shown in Figure 7, the suggested approach of IB-DRN has a lower root mean square error (50%) than the existing methods, such as ANN, SVM, LR, and GPR.
In statistics, the term “Mean Squared Error” (MSE) refers to the average or mean of the square of a disparity between the observed and predicted values. Equation (38) is calculated as follows:
M S E = 1 n i = 1 n Y i Y i ^ 2
The recall results utilizing both the suggested and current methodologies are shown in Figure 8, which demonstrates that the existing methods, such as artificial neural network, support vector machine, linear regression, Gaussian process regression, have a higher mean square error when compared to the proposed IB-DRN method.
Figure 9 presents the data on car speed accumulation at the lower and higher ends of curves. The graph visually depicts how the car’s speed changes as it navigates curves, with data points representing the accumulation of speed during these maneuvers.
Figure 10 showcases the observed current profile for different vehicle speed profiles.
Figure 11 further illustrates plot for exhaust gas emissions. The graph provides additional data points and analysis to better understand the impact of vehicle speed on current consumption and emissions.
In Figure 12, the SOC curves and accompanying automobile speed, current profile, exhaust gas emission, and UDDS cycle tested on the MATLAB platform are shown.

5. Discussions

The architecture of artificial neural networks necessitates the use of parallel processing hardware. Closer-to-the-hyperplane data points, known as support vector machines, have an impact on the hyperplane’s location and orientation. When the target classes overlap and the dataset includes more sound, it does not operate very well. A support vector machines will perform poorly when there are more attributes for each data point than training data specimens are present.
Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 are the comparisons of the accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, root mean square error, and mean square error for both existing methods and the proposed method. Included existing approaches are the artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), linear regression (LR), and Gaussian process regression (GPR), whereas the suggested technique is the incipient bat-optimized deep residual network (IB-DRN). The proposed incipient bat-optimized deep residual network technique achieves a high level of accuracy (98%), especially when compared to the existing methods of artificial neural network (53%), support vector machine (73%), linear regression (82%), and Gaussian process regression (66%) that are currently in use. In terms of precision, the proposed method of incipient bat-optimized deep residual network displays a 90% precision rate, while the existing methods of artificial neural network, support vector machine, linear regression, and Gaussian process regression are 57%, 64%, 73%, and 81%, respectively, revealing that when compared to the proposed method, the existing methods perform low in terms of precision. In terms of recall, the proposed method of incipient bat-optimized deep residual network is 97% and the existing methods of artificial neural network, support vector machine, linear regression, and Gaussian process regression, 60%, 59%, 81%, and 73%, respectively, hence the suggested technique performs well in terms of recall when compared to the existing techniques. In terms of the F1 score, the proposed method of incipient bat-optimized deep residual network has a score of 94% and the existing methods have scores as follows: the artificial neural network is 67%, the support vector machine is 85%, the linear regression is 65%, and Gaussian process regression is 73%, so the suggested technique performs well in terms of F1 score when compared to the existing methods. In terms of root mean square error, the proposed method of the incipient bat-optimized deep residual network has a score of 50% and the existing methods of artificial neural network, support vector machine, linear regression, Gaussian process regression have scores of 96%, 77%, 83%, and 65%, respectively; thus, the existing techniques perform well in terms of root mean square error when compared to the suggested technique. The proposed technique of incipient bat-optimized deep residual network achieves a low level regarding mean square error (55%), especially when compared to the existing methods of the artificial neural network (93%), support vector machine (65%), linear regression (85%), Gaussian process regression (74%).

6. Conclusions

Safety in electric vehicles depends heavily on BMSs, which control the electronics of the rechargeable battery pack or individual cells. To improve the safety and reliability of battery management systems, this article proposes a false battery data detection and classification system based on incipient bat-optimized deep residual networks (IB-DRN). Compared to current approaches, the IB-DRN system achieves high accuracy (98%), precision (90%), recall (97%), and F1 score (94%) but has poor performance in root mean square error (50%) and mean square error (55%). Additionally, this paper details a unique BMS hardware design and experimental findings. Future work should include potential upgrades for battery models, sensor data visualization, and continuous fault monitoring.
