A Multi-Layer Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network on Battery State-of-Health Estimation with Transfer Learning

Due to the important part of batteries in industrial systems, its safety analysis has causes widespread attention from researchers, and its effective maintenance decision-making is needed. Data-driven state-of-health (SOH) estimation can provide useful information by monitoring historical data during the aging process, but it can be failed in the cross-domain scenarios due to the different data distributions. To tackle this issue, we propose a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network with an additional fully connected dense as a basic predictor, and apply the pretrain and fine-tuning training algorithm to realize the high-performance prediction. By validated in two real-world datasets, we find that blindly expanding the training set may have a negative impact on model accuracy, and the proposed TL-LSTM can achieve a great performance under the cross-domain tasks.
