Abstract

Accurate prediction of the State of Health (SOH) for lithium-ion batteries is essential for ensuring timely battery replacements and mitigating safety risks related to capacity degradation. This paper introduces the Adaptive Genetic Algorithm-optimized Elman neural network (AGA-Elman) for SOH prediction. The approach starts by deriving incremental capacity (IC) curves from battery current, voltage, capacity, and time data. A subset of IC data is selected based on battery aging and correlation analysis, then used to train an Elman neural network, which captures temporal information effectively. The Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA) optimizes the network's weights and thresholds, enhancing convergence accuracy and speed compared to traditional genetic algorithms. Validation with real battery data shows that the AGA-Elman model achieves prediction errors below 2.43 % using only 50 % of the data for training. This model significantly outperforms conventional genetic algorithm-optimized Elman networks, demonstrating its practical suitability for accurate battery SOH prediction and contributing to safer and more efficient energy storage solutions.
