LR Linear Regression Model and FNN Feed-Forward Neural Network: Hybrid Approach to Predict SOH of Lithium Ion Batteries

The integration of electric vehicles with grid vehicles promotes the creation of multi-energy microgrid models. One of the aims of these models is to decrease electricity usage through Vehicle-to-Grid planning. Effective management of microgrids necessitates sophisticated automation and control systems, which can prove challenging to establish and sustain. To tackle these challenges, the author introduces a hybrid model that merges a Linear Regression model and a Feedforward Neural Network, created using Matlab software. This combined algorithm adjusts the quantity of hidden neurons to enhance performance, guided by the evaluation criteria of Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error based on batteries B0005, B0006, and B0007 from the NASA PCoE Research Center Dataset. The author forecasts the lifespan of the battery that most accurately reflects its degradation, revealing important implications for the future advancement of systems that employ Linear Regression and Feedforward Neural Networks for integrating electric vehicles into Vehicle-to-Grid systems. The comparison among the training, testing, and validation stages of the methodology serves to thoroughly demonstrate its effectiveness. Furthermore, the author indicates that the LR-FFN algorithm provides predictive tools relevant for the management of V2G-compatible EV systems and performs superiorly compared to other methods noted in the existing literature. Additionally, the author aimed to specifically identify the attributes of the LR-FNN model for prospective usages, emphasizing its efficacy in developing effective microgrid management, promoting energy efficiency, and ensuring that microgrids remain secure and resilient against failures or threats.
