Abstract:

Gaussian process regression(GPR) is one of the effective methods to predict the remaining useful life(RUL) of lithium-ion batteries. At the same time, the choice of kernel function in GPR model has an important influence on the prediction result. In this regard, a GPR with self-constructed kernel method is proposed. Using the historical capacity data of the same type of batteries, the appropriate combination kernel function is automatically constructed to describe degradation trends. Compared with different machine learning methods and different kernel functions, the proposed method can make long-term and accurate prediction of battery health degradation trend in the early stage of battery degradation. The root mean square error is less than 1% of prediction results, meanwhile the relative error is less than 6%. The confidence intervals for the predicted results are more concentrated. It shows that the proposed method can effectively improve the long-term prediction accuracy of battery RUL.

Key words: Gaussian process regression, combinational kernel function, remaining useful life (RUL), lithium-ion battery
