Abstract

This paper presents a transformative methodology that harnesses the power of digital twin (DT) technology for the advanced condition monitoring of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs). In contrast to conventional solutions, our approach eliminates the need to calibrate sensors or add additional hardware circuits. The digital replica works seamlessly alongside the embedded battery management system (BMS) in an EV, delivering real-time signals for monitoring. Our system is a significant step forward in ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of EVs, which play an essential role in reducing carbon emissions. A core innovation lies in the integration of the digital twin into the battery monitoring process, reshaping the landscape of energy storage and alternative power sources such as lithium-ion batteries. Our comprehensive system leverages a cloud-based IoT network and combines both physical and digital components to provide a holistic solution. The physical side encompasses offline modeling, where a long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm trained with various learning rates (LRs) and optimized by three types of optimizers ensures precise state-of-charge (SOC) predictions. On the digital side, the digital twin takes center stage, enabling the real-time monitoring and prediction of battery activity. A particularly innovative aspect of our approach is the utilization of a time-series generative adversarial network (TS-GAN) to generate synthetic data that seamlessly complement the monitoring process. This pioneering use of a TS-GAN offers an effective solution to the challenge of limited real-time data availability, thus enhancing the system’s predictive capabilities. By seamlessly integrating these physical and digital elements, our system enables the precise analysis and prediction of battery behavior. This innovation—particularly the application of a TS-GAN for data generation—significantly contributes to optimizing battery performance, enhancing safety, and extending the longevity of lithium-ion batteries in EVs. Furthermore, the model developed in this research serves as a benchmark for future digital energy storage in lithium-ion batteries and comprehensive energy utilization. According to statistical tests, the model has a high level of precision. Its exceptional safety performance and reduced energy consumption offer promising prospects for sustainable and efficient energy solutions. This paper signifies a pivotal step towards realizing a cleaner and more sustainable future through advanced EV battery management.
