Abstract
Enabling charging capacity abnormality diagnosis is essential for ensuring battery operation safety in electric vehicle (EV) applications. In this article, a data-driven method is proposed for battery charging capacity diagnosis based on massive real-world EV operating data. Using the charging rate, temperature, state of charge, and accumulated driving mileage as the inputs, a tree-based prediction model is developed with a polynomial feature combination used for model training. A statistics-based method is then used to diagnose battery charging capacity abnormity by analyzing the error distribution of large sets of data. The proposed tree-based prediction model is compared with other state-of-the-art methods and is shown to have the highest prediction accuracy. The holistic diagnosis scheme is verified using unseen data.
