Prognostics of the state of health for lithium-ion battery packs in energy storage applications

Abstract The prognostics of the state of health (SOH) for lithium-ion battery packs in the long-time scale is critical for the safe and efficient operation of battery packs. In this paper, based on two available energy-based battery pack SOH definition considering both the aging and the consistency deterioration of battery cells, the prognostics algorithm of SOH is developed. The proposed method integrates the parameter estimation of battery cells, the parameter prognostics of battery cells, and the prognostics of battery pack SOH. The proposed method is verified by a cycle life test of a battery pack with 16 series connected LiFePO4 cells. The prognostics errors for the two SOH indexes are within 2.5% and 1.5%, respectively. The proposed method not only reflects the overall aging of battery cells, but also reflects the utilization efficiency decrease caused by the consistency deterioration of battery cells. Therefore, the proposed could synthetically and accurately evaluate and predict the SOH of lithium-ion battery packs, and could provide helpful equilibrium and maintenance information to decision makers.
