State of Charge Estimation of Lithium-Ion Battery Based on IDRSN and BiGRU

The estimation of state of charge (SOC) is a critical issue in the energy management of electric vehicle (EV) power batteries. However, the current accuracy of SOC estimation methods does not meet the requirements of practical applications. Therefore, this study proposes an improved lithium-ion battery SOC estimation method that combines deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN) and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) to enhance the SOC estimation accuracy. First, we insert the bidirectional gated recurrent unit neural network between the global average pooling layer and the output fully connected layer of the deep residual shrinkage network. This improvement enhances the model’s expressiveness, robustness, and data learning effect. Second, we develop a new activation function called “∂_swish” to replace the original ReLU activation function in the deep residual shrinkage network. The ∂_swish activation function improves the accuracy of the deep network model and reduces the risk of overfitting by utilizing its regularization effect. Finally, we conduct experimental tests at three different temperatures using the FUDS driving cycle dataset and the DST-US06-FUDS continuous driving cycle dataset. The algorithm model’s convergence speed is verified by comparing it with other models. The results show that compared to other models, the proposed method significantly improves SOC estimation accuracy at three different temperatures. In addition, the method demonstrates a high convergence speed.
