Accurate State of Health (SOH) estimation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is critical for ensuring the safety of electric vehicles and improving the reliability of battery management systems (BMS). However, the use of individual health features (HFs) and the selection of hyperparameters can increase the data processing burden on the BMS and reduce the accuracy of data-driven models. To address the above issue, this paper proposes a novel SOH estimation method for lithium-ion batteries based on the PSO–GWO–LSSVM prediction model with multi-dimensional health feature extraction. To comprehensively capture the battery aging mechanisms, four categories of health features—time, energy, similarity, and second-order features—are extracted from the LIBs charging segments. The correlation between HFs and SOH is comprehensively evaluated through Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses, followed by Gaussian filtering and outlier detection to enhance feature quality. With strong generalization and robustness, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is widely applied to nonlinear computations and function approximation. To improve LSSVM model accuracy and efficiency, this paper develops a novel prediction model that uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) combined with grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithms to optimize the LSSVM model. The generalization performance of the proposed method is validated through comparative experiments using a battery dataset provided by the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) Research Center at the University of Maryland. Experimental results show that the coefficient of determination (R2) consistently exceeds 0.985, with the average absolute error in SOH prediction for four batteries remaining around 0.5%. The comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has a certain degree of accuracy, robustness, and generalization capability.
State-of-energy (SOE) estimation helps to enhance the safety of battery operation and predict vehicle range. However, the voltage plateau of the LiFePO4 (LFP) battery presents a significant challenge for SOE estimation. Therefore, this paper introduces a significantly varying mechanical force feature to tackle the flat voltage curve in the mid-SOE region. A fusion model that integrates a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and Kalman filter (KF) algorithm is proposed for SOE estimation. The BiLSTM is applied to fully capture the temporal dependencies from inputs to output over both local and long cycles. Subsequently, PSO is employed to optimize the parameters of KF, which is utilized to smooth the results of the BiLSTM network, thereby achieving highly accurate SOE estimation. Experimental results across different operating conditions and temperatures reveal that the introduction of mechanical force significantly improves SOE estimation accuracy. Compared to models using only traditional electrical and thermal features, the model with the introduction of mechanical force achieves average improvements of 67.06%, 66.38%, and 66.46% for the root mean square error (RMSE), maximum absolute error (MAXE), and mean absolute error (MAE), respectively. Moreover, the generalizability and robustness of the proposed method are further confirmed by the comparison of different models and preload forces.
