Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The widespread use of batteries as the most common energy storage systems in automotive and consumer electronics has made them an integral part of our daily business. Crucial concerns like battery performance and lifetime thus require attention, which is often tackled by modeling work. Researchers have made remarkable achievements in developing predictive models that can predict the battery states (SoX), lifetime, remaining useful life, etc., outlining the aging behavior of the battery. Numerous modeling methodologies from physics-based to data-driven types have enriched the prediction modeling accuracy by several folds.

This 3rd edition of the Special Issue highlights the research efforts towards advanced prediction methodologies and/or algorithm development works in terms of contributions (research/perspective/review articles). This is the third volume of the series following up on the excellent collection of works in the previous Special Issues. Novel methodologies and characterization techniques to predict battery aging could also be included for battery diagnosis and prognosis from cell to pack level including the 2nd life of the battery. Authors are encouraged to submit original articles that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Battery state of X (SoC, SoH, SoE, SoP, SoS) estimation;
  • Battery aging and lifetime prediction models;
  • Early life and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction models;
  • Degradation mechanism identification including 2nd life;
  • Physical, digitalized, and accelerated aging studies;
  • Advancement in the battery management system (BMS) for embedded models;
  • Edge and cloud simulation and a combination of the models;
  • Diagnosis and prognosis of battery systems including thermal aspects;
  • Physics-based, AI, and hybrid modeling work for reliable prediction;
  • Reliable service life and monitoring of batteries during 1st and 2nd life.

Sodium batteries have emerged as a competitive energy storage candidate due to their low cost and abundant resources. The accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) of sodium batteries is essential for their practical utilization. However, limited cycling data and rapid capacity decay pose significant challenges for SOH prediction. This study proposes a data-driven approach for SOH estimation in sodium batteries. By analyzing first-cycle data, the method determines battery health factor ranges and extracts comprehensive features from limited charging data segments. A predictive model is then established using deep learning techniques, specifically a stacked, bidirectional, long short-term memory (SB-LSTM) network. Unlike conventional methodologies relying on filtering or curve smoothing, the proposed approach demonstrates exceptional robustness, particularly at high discharge rates of up to 5C. Moreover, it applies to a wider range of current rates and consumes fewer computational resources. The method’s effectiveness is validated on three different battery sets, achieving high accuracy with an average absolute error in SOH estimation below 0.86% and a root mean square error under 1.07%. These results highlight the potential of this data-driven approach for reliable SOH estimation in sodium batteries, contributing to their practical implementation in energy storage systems.
