Abstract

With the rapid development of the new energy industry, supercapacitors have become key devices in the field of energy storage. To forecast the remaining useful life (RUL) of supercapacitors, we introduce a new technology that integrates variational mode decomposition (VMD) with a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural network. Firstly, the aging experiments of supercapacitors under various temperatures and voltages were carried out to obtain aging data. Then, VMD was implemented to decompose the aging data, which helped to eliminate disturbances, including capacity recovery and test errors. Then, the hyperparameters of BiLSTM were adjusted, employing the sparrow search algorithm (SSA) to improve the consistency between the input data and the network structure. After obtaining the optimal hyperparameters of BiLSTM, the decomposed aging data were input into BiLSTM for prediction. The experimental results showed that the VMD-SSA-BiLSTM model proposed in this paper has high prediction accuracy and high robustness under different temperatures and voltages, with an average RMSE of 0.112519, a decrease of 44.3% compared to BiLSTM, and a minimum of 0.031426.
