State of Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and a Multi-Scale Kernel Extreme Learning Machine

Abstract

An accurate state of health (SOH) estimation for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for reliable operations and extending service life. While electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) effectively characterizes LIBs degradation patterns, the high dimensionality of EIS data poses challenges for an efficient analysis. This study proposes a novel method that combines EIS with an equivalent circuit model (ECM) and distribution of relaxation time (DRT) analysis to extract low-dimensional health features from high-dimensional EIS data. A multi-scale kernel extreme learning machine (MS-KELM), optimized by the Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), estimates battery SOH with an average mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.37% and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.76%. In addition, compared with support vector regression (SVR) and Gaussian process regression (GPR), the proposed method reduces computational time by factors of 4 to 30 and lowers memory usage by approximately 18%.
