Cross-scenario capacity estimation for lithium-ion batteries via knowledge query domain mixing-up network

Abstract

Introduction: Deep learning has demonstrated exceptional prowess in estimating battery capacity. However, its effectiveness is often compromised by performance degradation under a consequence of varying operational conditions and diverse charging/discharging protocols.Methods: To tackle this issue, we introduce the Knowledge Query Domain Mixing-up Network (KQDMN), a domain adaptation-based solution adept at leveraging both domain-specific and invariant knowledge. This innovation enriches the informational content of domain features by segregating the functions of feature extraction and domain alignment, enhancing the efficacy of KQDMN in utilizing diverse knowledge types. Moreover, to identify time-deteriorating features in battery time series data, we employ convolutional operations. These operations are pivotal in extracting multi-scale features from the battery's characteristic curves. Inspired by the Transformer model, we have developed a set of knowledge queries that integrate these multi-scale features seamlessly, thereby enabling extensive global feature extraction. To ensure the retention of domain-specific information, we have instituted two independent feature extraction pathways. Pursuing domain-invariant knowledge, this study introduces cross-attention as a mechanism to connect two domain spaces, effectively diminishing the disparity between source and target distributions.Results and Discussion: This approach is crucial for accurately estimating capacity in batteries with diverse performance characteristics. The practicality and robustness of the proposed method are validated using the MIT battery aging dataset, yielding highly satisfactory outcomes. The Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Coefficient of Determination (R2) for our capacity estimation process are 0.19%, 0.23%, and 0.997, respectively, highlighting the precision and reliability of our approach.
