Accurate estimation of the state of charge (SoC) of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for battery management systems, particularly in electric vehicle (EV) applications where real-time monitoring ensures safe and robust operation. This study introduces three advanced algorithms to estimate the SoC: deep neural network (DNN), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and long short-term memory (LSTM). The DNN, GRU, and LSTM models are trained and validated using laboratory data from a lithium-ion 18650 battery and simulation data from Matlab/Simulink for a LiCoO₂ battery cell. These models are designed to account for varying temperatures during charge/discharge cycles and the effects of battery aging due to cycling. This paper is the first to estimate the SoC by a deep neural network using a variable current profile that provides the SoC curve during both the charge and discharge phases. The DNN model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink, featuring customizable activation functions, multiple hidden layers, and a variable number of neurons per layer, thus providing flexibility and robustness in the SoC estimation. This approach uniquely integrates temperature and aging effects into the input features, setting it apart from existing methodologies that typically focus only on voltage, current, and temperature. The performance of the DNN model is benchmarked against the GRU and LSTM models, demonstrating superior accuracy with a maximum error of less than 2.5%. This study highlights the effectiveness of the DNN algorithm in providing a reliable SoC estimation under diverse operating conditions, showcasing its potential for enhancing battery management in EV applications.

It is now crucial to accurately monitor the state of health (SoH) of batteries in a setting where the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy technologies is still growing. To solve this issue and evaluate the SoH, this paper makes use of deep learning technology. The suggested method incorporates voltage, current, and temperature data, which are important indications of the SoH and can potentially be obtained directly from the battery management system (BMS). Although deep neural networks (DNNs) have previously been employed for SoH estimation, our study distinguishes itself by implementing a robust, completely configurable DNN application in MATLAB/Simulink R2019a. This design enables the adjustment of activation functions, layer depth, and neuron count to adapt to different battery aging conditions. To achieve optimal performance, numerous configurations were examined, highlighting the relevance of hyperparameter setting. Our technique avoids traditional feature engineering while providing a practical, adaptive, and accurate SoH estimate framework appropriate for real-world integration. The precision of the improved model was then verified against a Li-ion battery dataset with various discharge profiles given by the national aeronautics and space administration (NASA). The collected findings revealed that the proposed method is more accurate and robust than other regularly used models. The DNN model achieved a Mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.433% and a Coefficient of determination of 0.99998, outperforming previous methods such as CNN-BiGRU, which reported an MAE of 2.448% in a recent publication. This study demonstrates the reliable performance of the DNN in predicting the SoH of Li-ion cells.

The rapid growth of renewable electricity generation introduces technical challenges that were previously uncommon. These include, for example, problems with exceeding the permissible voltage values in network nodes, overloading of transformers and line sections located behind the transformer, as well as balance problems. This article proposes an original methodology for eliminating these problems. Four objective functions reflecting different operator priorities were used. Attention is drawn to the increasing importance of the development of electricity storage. The results confirm that coordinated optimisation of voltage regulation, energy storage, and flexible load management enables increased renewable energy connection capacity while reducing power losses and improving the grid voltage profile. The case study results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach under the considered operating scenarios. The proposed tool can support network operators in managing MV grid operation under the considered scenarios. The ongoing energy transition requires network operators to react quickly to emerging problems. Therefore, advanced computational methods are needed to mitigate operational risks and respond to emerging constraints.
