SOC Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries Utilizing EIS Technology with SHAP–ASO–LightGBM

Accurate State of Charge (SOC) estimation is critical for optimizing the performance and longevity of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which are widely used in applications ranging from electric vehicles to renewable energy storage. Traditional SOC estimation methods, such as Coulomb counting and open-circuit voltage measurement, suffer from cumulative errors and slow response times. This paper proposes a novel machine learning-based approach for SOC estimation by integrating Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) with the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method, Atom Search Optimization (ASO), and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM). This study focuses on large-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries (3.2 V, 104 Ah), addressing a gap in existing research. EIS data collected at various SOC levels and temperatures were processed using SHAP for feature extraction (FE), and the ASO–LightGBM model was employed for SOC prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed SHAP–ASO–LightGBM method significantly improves estimation accuracy, achieving an RMSE of 3.3%, MAE of 1.86%, and R2 of 0.99, outperforming traditional methods like LSTM and DNN. The findings highlight the potential of EIS and machine learning (ML) for robust SOC estimation in large-capacity LIBs.
