Description
Summary:Predicting battery states such as the voltage and state of charge (SOC) can help us monitor lithium batteries more efficiently during usage. This study proposed a predictive model for the lithium battery voltage and SOC by combining a second-order RC equivalent circuit model with a multi-head attention Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (MHA-BiLSTM) neural network. The equivalent circuit model simulates long-term charge–discharge cycles in Simulink, providing essential data for model training. The BiLSTM model, enhanced by the multi-head attention mechanism, is used for accurate short-term predictions of the battery voltage and SOC. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MHA-BiLSTM model outperforms other models in the prediction accuracy, achieving an R<sup>2</sup> of 0.91, with the lowest RMSE of 0.0567 and MAPE of 0.0095. This hybrid approach effectively captures the dynamic behavior of the battery and reduces predictive errors, making it a promising solution for battery health monitoring and management.
