A Hierarchical Model for Lithium-Ion Battery Degradation Prediction

Abstract

Developing prognostics and health management (PHM) approaches for lithium-ion batteries has received increasing attention in recent years. This paper presents a new modeling framework to characterize lithium-ion battery degradation by examining detailed discharging voltage profiles in different discharging cycles. We propose a hierarchical model, combining discharging processes and degradation processes, to predict the end of discharges in different cycles and remaining useful cycles integratively. We use a real case study to demonstrate the effectiveness and promising features of the proposed framework.
