Gaussian Process Regression for In-situ Capacity Estimation of Lithium-ion Batteries
Accurate on-board capacity estimation is of critical importance in
lithium-ion battery applications. Battery charging/discharging often occurs
under a constant current load, and hence voltage vs. time measurements under
this condition may be accessible in practice. This paper presents a data-driven
diagnostic technique, Gaussian Process regression for In-situ Capacity
Estimation (GP-ICE), which estimates battery capacity using voltage
measurements over short periods of galvanostatic operation. Unlike previous
works, GP-ICE does not rely on interpreting the voltage-time data as
Incremental Capacity (IC) or Differential Voltage (DV) curves. This overcomes
the need to differentiate the voltage-time data (a process which amplifies
measurement noise), and the requirement that the range of voltage measurements
encompasses the peaks in the IC/DV curves. GP-ICE is applied to two datasets,
consisting of 8 and 20 cells respectively. In each case, within certain voltage
ranges, as little as 10 seconds of galvanostatic operation enables capacity
estimates with approximately 2-3% RMSE.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Industrial
