Abstract

As a crucial energy storage for the spacecraft power system, lithium-ion batteries degradation mechanisms are complex and involved with external environmental perturbations. Hence, effective remaining useful life (RUL) prediction and model reliability assessment confronts considerable obstacles. This article develops a new RUL prediction method for spacecraft lithium-ion batteries, where a hybrid data preprocessing-based deep learning model is proposed. First, to improve the correlation between battery capacity and features, the empirically selected high-dimensional features are linearized by using the Box-Cox transformation and then denoised via the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method. Second, the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm is employed to perform feature dimensionality reduction, and the output of PCA is further processed by the sliding window technique. Third, a multiscale hierarchical attention bi-directional long short-term memory (MHA-BiLSTM) model is constructed to estimate the capacity in future cycles. Specifically, the MHA-BiLSTM model can predict the RUL of lithium-ion batteries by considering the correlation and significance of each cycle’s information during the degradation process on different scales. Finally, the proposed method is validated based on multiple types of experiments under two lithium-ion battery datasets, demonstrating its superior performance in terms of feature extraction and multidimensional time series prediction.
