LSTM-Based State-of-Charge Estimation and User Interface Development for Lithium-Ion Battery Management

State-of-charge (SOC) estimation is pivotal in optimizing lithium-ion battery management systems (BMSs), ensuring safety, performance, and longevity across various applications. This study introduces a novel SOC estimation framework that uniquely integrates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks with Hyperband-driven hyperparameter optimization, a combination not extensively explored in the literature. A comprehensive experimental dataset is created using data of LG 18650HG2 lithium-ion batteries subjected to diverse operational cycles and thermal conditions. The proposed framework demonstrates superior prediction accuracy, achieving a Mean Square Error (MSE) of 0.0023 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.0043, outperforming traditional estimation methods. The Hyperband optimization algorithm accelerates model training and enhances adaptability to varying operating conditions, making it scalable for diverse battery applications. Developing an intuitive, real-time user interface (UI) tailored for practical deployment bridges the gap between advanced SOC estimation techniques and user accessibility. Detailed residual and regression analyses confirm the proposed solution’s robustness, generalizability, and reliability. This work offers a scalable, accurate, and user-friendly SOC estimation solution for commercial BMSs, with future research aimed at extending the framework to other battery chemistries and hybrid energy systems.
