A Method for Estimating the SOH of Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Graph Perceptual Neural Network

The accurate estimation of battery state of health (SOH) is critical for ensuring the safety and reliability of devices. Considering the variation in health degradation across different types of lithium-ion battery materials, this paper proposes an SOH estimation method based on a graph perceptual neural network, designed to adapt to multiple battery materials. This method adapts to various battery materials by extracting crucial features from current, voltage, voltage-capacity, and temperature data, and it constructs a graph structure to encapsulate these features. This approach effectively captures the complex interactions and dependencies among different battery types. The novel technique of randomly removing features addresses feature redundancy. Initially, a mutual information graph structure is defined to illustrate the interdependencies among battery features. Moreover, a graph perceptual self-attention mechanism is implemented, integrating the adjacency matrix and edge features into the self-attention calculations. This enhancement aids the model's understanding of battery behaviors, thereby improving the transparency and interpretability of predictions. The experimental results demonstrate that this method outperforms traditional models in both accuracy and generalizability across various battery types, particularly those with significant chemical and degradation discrepancies. The model achieves a minimum mean absolute error of 0.357, a root mean square error of 0.560, and a maximum error of 0.941.
