A case study on battery life prediction using particle filtering

Abstract

Batteries play a critical role for the reliability of battery-powered systems. The prognostics in batteries provide warning to the advent of failure, which requires timely maintenance and replacement of batteries. This paper reviews current research on battery degradation models and focuses on the online implementation of prognostic algorithms. The particle filtering approach is utilized to track battery performance based on two degradation models that are highly efficient for online applications. An experimental demonstration of this method is provided. Through a comparison of the prognostic results, the problems of the models and the algorithm are discussed.
