Estimation of Lithium-ion Battery Discharge Capacity by Integrating Optimized Explainable-AI and Stacked LSTM Model

Accurate lithium-ion battery state of health evaluation is crucial for correctly operating and managing battery-based energy storage systems. Experimental determination is problematic in these applications since standard functioning is necessary. Machine learning techniques enable accurate and effective data-driven predictions in such situations. In the present paper, an optimized explainable artificial intelligence (Ex-AI) model is proposed to predict the discharge capacity of the battery. In the initial stage, three deep learning (DL) models, stacked long short-term memory networks (stacked LSTMs), gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks, and stacked recurrent neural networks (SRNNs) were developed based on the training of six input features. Ex-AI was applied to identify the relevant features and further optimize Ex-AI operating parameters, and the jellyfish metaheuristic optimization technique was considered. The results reveal that discharge capacity was better predicted when the jellyfish-Ex-AI model was applied. A very low RMSE of 0.04, MAE of 0.60, and MAPE of 0.03 were observed with the Stacked-LSTM model, demonstrating our proposed methodology’s utility.
