A Data-Driven Framework to Predict Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Imbalance for Real-Time Battery Management Systems
Models that can predict battery cells’ thermal and electrical behaviors are necessary for real-time battery management systems to regulate the imbalance within battery cells. This work introduces a Gaussian Process Regression (GPR)-based data-driven framework that succeeds the Multi-Scale Multi-Dimensional (MSMD) modeling structure. The framework can make highly accurate predictions at the same level as full-order full-distribution simulations based on MSMD. A pseudo-2D model is used to generate training data and is combined with a process that shifts computation burdens from real-time battery management systems to lab data preparation. The testing results highlight the reliability of the GPR-based data-driven framework in terms of accuracy and stability under various operational conditions.
