| description | Batteries degrade over time. Such degradation leads to performance loss, but more importantly, safety issues arise. To evaluate the battery degradation, traditional diagnostic techniques rely on model-based or data-driven approaches; however, those methods often require controlled conditions or specific tests, which may not be applicable in real fields. In this regard, we propose a deep learning-based method addressing these limitations by accurately modeling batteries using real-world operational data from photovoltaic (PV)-integrated battery energy storage system (BESSs), where charging currents vary dynamically and SOC is capped at 70% by regulation. The proposed method is based on a neural surrogate model for batteries, employing a sequence-to-sequence architecture, which directly captures the dynamic behavior of batteries from operational data, eliminating the need for specialized characterization tests or feature extraction. The proposed model synthesizes the terminal voltage with a mean absolute error of 6.4 mV for lithium–iron–phosphate (LFP) cells and 49 mV for nickel–cobalt–manganese (NCM) battery modules, respectively, which is only 0.4% and 0.29% of the voltage swing. As a health indicator, we also propose the concept of voltage deviation (VD), defined as the deviation between the synthesized and actual terminal voltages. We demonstrate that VD can be evaluated not only in laboratory data but also in field data. |
