Battery Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Online Least Squares Support Vector Machine

Abstract

Battery fault diagnosis technology is crucial for the reliable functioning of battery systems. This research introduces an online least squares support vector machine method tailored for battery fault diagnosis. After examining battery fault types and gathering relevant data, this method creates a diagnostic model, effectively addressing small and sporadic fault data that is inadequately handled by conventional support vector machines. Recognizing that certain battery malfunctions evolve over time and are multifaceted, confidence intervals have been integrated into the diagnostic models, enhancing accuracy. Upon testing this model using empirical data, it demonstrated rapid diagnostic capabilities and outperformed other algorithms in identifying progressive faults, ensuring precise fault identification, minimizing false alarms, and bolstering battery system safety.
