Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, batteries are becoming more and more popular in electric vehicles, household energy storage, and large-scale grid energy storage. In order to make the battery energy storage technology more competitive than other energy storage methods, high reliability and long life have always been the goal of battery energy storage technology. The deepening of battery physics research, the development of new machine learning algorithms and new sensor technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities for a higher level of battery management system (BMS). Traditional state estimation and lifetime prediction methods can become more accurate and reliable, and can adapt to battery aging and a wider range of temperature and current rate, helping us grasp the real state of the battery. Fault diagnosis methods developed by means of Big Data analysis and multi-source sensor fusion can identify and locate faults more quickly and accurately. The online identification of battery electrical and thermal abuse boundaries can provide a more scientific basis for battery safety and long life scheduling.

To that end, the potential topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Applications of multi-physics modelling in BMS;
  • Applications of machine learning methods in BMS;
  • Applications of novel force, thermal, electrical, and gas sensors in BMS;
  • Optimal design and control of thermal management system;
  • Optimal scheduling of energy storage battery system with the goal of extending service life.

As environmental regulations become stricter, the advantages of pure electric vehicles over fuel vehicles are becoming more and more significant. Due to the uncertainty of the actual operating conditions of the vehicle, accurate estimation of the state-of-charge (SOC) of the power battery under multi-temperature scenarios plays an important role in guaranteeing the safety, economy, and reliability of electric vehicles. In this paper, a SOC estimation method based on the fusion of convolutional neural network-transformer (CNN-Transformer) and square root unscented Kalman filter (SRUKF) for lithium-ion batteries in low-temperature scenarios is proposed. First, the CNN-Transformer base model is established. Then, the SRUKF algorithm is used to update the state of the Coulomb counting method results based on the base model results. Finally, ensemble learning theory is applied to estimate SOC in multi-temperature scenarios. Data is obtained from laboratory conditions at −20 °C, −7 °C, and 0 °C. The experimental results show that the SOC estimation method proposed in this study is stable in terms of the root mean square error (RMSE) being between 2.69% and 4.22%. The proposed base model is also compared with the long short-term memory (LSTM) network and gated recurrent unit (GRU) network to demonstrate its relative advantages. Full article

Accurate evaluation of the health status of lithium-ion batteries must be deemed as of great significance, insofar as the utility and safety of batteries are of concern. Lithium plating, in particular, is notoriously known to be a chemical reaction that can cause deterioration in, or even fatal hazards to, the health of lithium-ion batteries. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which has distinct advantages such as being fast and non-destructive over its competitors, suffices in detecting lithium plating and thus has been attracting increasing attention in the field of battery management, but its ability of assessing quantitatively the degree of lithium plating remains largely unexplored hitherto. On this point, this work seeks to narrow that gap by proposing an EIS-based method that can quantify the degree of lithium plating. The core conception is to eventually circumvent the reliance on state-of-health measurement, and use instead the impedance spectrum to acquire an estimate on battery capacity loss. To do so, the effects of solid electrolyte interphase formation and lithium plating on battery capacity must be first decoupled, so that the mass of lithium plating can be quantified. Then, based on an impedance spectrum measurement, the parameters of the fractional equivalent circuit model (ECM) of the battery can be identified. These fractional ECM parameters are received as inputs by an artificial neural network, which is tasked with establishing a correspondence between the model parameters and the mass of lithium plating. The empirical part of the work revolves around the data collected from an aging experiment, and the validity of the proposed method is truthfully attested by dismantling the batteries, which is otherwise not needed during the actual uptake of the method.

During the manufacturing process of the lithium-ion battery, metal foreign matter is likely to be mixed into the battery, which seriously influences the safety performance of the battery. In order to reduce the outflow of such foreign matter defect cells, the production line universally adopted the K-value test process. In the traditional K-value test, the detection threshold is determined empirically, which has poor dynamic characteristics and probably leads to missing or false detection. Based on comparing the screening effect of different machine learning algorithms for the production data of lithium-ion cells, this paper proposes a K-value dynamic screening algorithm for the cell production line based on the local outlier factor algorithm. The analysis results indicate that the proposed method can adaptively adjust the detection threshold. Furthermore, we validated its effectiveness through the metal foreign matter implantation experiment conducted in the pilot manufacturing line. Experiment results show that the proposed method’s detection rate is improved significantly. The increase in the detection rate of foreign matter defects is beneficial to improving battery quality and safety. Full article

Accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) and temperature of batteries is essential to ensure the safety of energy storage systems. However, it is very difficult to obtain multiple states of the battery with fewer sensors. In this paper, a joint estimation method for a lithium iron phosphate battery’s SOC and temperature based on ultrasonic reflection waves is proposed. A piezoelectric transducer is affixed to the surface of the battery for ultrasonic–electric transduction. Ultrasonic signals are excited at the transducer, transmitted through the battery, and transmitted back to the transducer by reaching the underside of the battery. Feature indicator extraction intervals of the battery state are determined by sliding–window matching correlation analysis. Virtual samples are used to expand the data after feature extraction. Finally, a backpropagation (BP) neural network model is applied to the multistate joint estimation of a battery in a wide temperature range. According to the experimental results, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the lithium-ion battery’s SOC and temperature estimation results is 7.42% and 0.40 °C, respectively. The method is nondestructive and easy to apply in battery management systems. Combined with the detection of gas production inside the battery, this method can improve the safety of the battery system. Full article
