Abstract:

A dropout Monte Carlo (dropout-MC) recurrent neural network method was proposed for remaining useful life (RUL) prediction for lithium-ion batteries to guarantee the safety and reliability of electric vehicles. An equal charging voltage time was introduced as an indirect health indicator, and the variational mode decomposition (VMD) was adopted to reduce the influence of external interference and capacity regeneration. The long and short time series (LSTM) as the improved recurrent neural network was established for accurate RUL prediction. The dropout-MC method was proposed to obtain the 95% confidence interval for quantifying the uncertainty of the RUL prediction. Compared with traditional extreme learning machine (ELM) and nonlinear autoregressive neural network (NARX) methods, the proposed method not only can achieve a higher accuracy in RUL prediction with prediction performance below 2.4%, but also obtain reliability of RUL prediction.
