Abstract

Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries have been used in all aspects of life for environmental and resource reasons. The accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) ensures the proper operation of the battery. However, few methods have focused on the problem of SOC estimation at low temperatures. A hybrid method based on the CNN-BWGRU network is proposed in this paper. The method optimizes the influence of battery information on the results through a "multi-moment input" structure and the bidirectional network. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to learn the feature parameters in the input. The bidirectional weighted gated recurrent unit (BWGRU) can improve the fitting performance of the network at low temperatures by changing the weights. The proposed network has a strong generalization capability, estimation accuracy, and robustness. SOC estimation is performed under different conditions to verify the plausibility of the network. The experimental results show that the method has higher accuracy and stability than other networks. In addition, the proposed method can overcome the effect of different initial SOC on the estimation results. Therefore, the CNN-BWGRU network provides a new method in battery SOC estimation while providing helpful guidance for safe and stable battery operation in natural environments.
