Optimizing fast charging protocols for lithium-ion batteries using reinforcement learning: Balancing speed, efficiency, and longevity by Khairy Sayed, Mahmoud Aref, Mishari Metab Almalki, Mahmoud A. Mossa

“…We create an adaptive charging strategy that dynamically modifies charging rates in response to battery conditions while respecting safety limitations including voltage and temperature limits using Reinforcement Learning (RL). In order to maximize performance metrics and avoid degradation, the RL agent is trained in a simulated environment.To examine their effects on charging time, capacity, temperature, deterioration, energy efficiency, and State of Health (SoH), five charging profiles—constant, decreasing, and alternating current techniques—are assessed. …”
