Deep learning has made notable strides in addressing long-standing issues in the artificial intelligence community. However, large AI models often face challenges such as high computational resource consumption, extended training times, and elevated deployment costs. To address these issues, we developed an efficient end-to-end hybrid fusion neural network model. This model combines FlashAttention-2 with local feature extraction through convolutional neural networks (CNNs), significantly reducing memory usage and computational demands while maintaining precise and efficient health estimation. For practical implementation, the model uses only basic parameters, such as voltage and charge, and employs partial charging data (from 80 % SOC to the upper limit voltage) as features, without requiring complex feature engineering. We evaluated the model using three datasets: 77 lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, 16 nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA) cells, and 50 nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) oxide cells. For LFP battery health estimation, the model achieved a root mean square error of 0.109 %, a coefficient of determination of 0.99, and a mean absolute percentage error of 0.096 %. Moreover, the proposed convolutional and flash-attention fusion networks deliver an average inference time of 57 milliseconds for health diagnosis across the full battery life cycle (approximately 1898 cycles per cell). The resource-efficient AI (REAI) model operates at an average of 1.36 billion floating point operations per second (FLOPs), with GPU power consumption of 17W and memory usage of 403 MB. This significantly outperforms the Transformer model with vanilla attention. Furthermore, the multi-fusion model proved to be a powerful tool for evaluating capacity in NCA and NCM cells using transfer learning. The results emphasize its ability to reduce computational complexity, energy consumption, and memory usage, while maintaining high accuracy and robust generalization capabilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36355,"journal":{"name":"Etransportation","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100383"},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review explores advancements and challenges in PCM-based battery thermal management systems (BTMS), focusing on internal and external factors influencing performance. It discusses internal factors such as material-level improvements in PCM-based BTMS, including solutions like SiC and EG-based PCM, flexible composite PCM, and serpentine-shaped PCM. External factors, such as fluid flow dynamics, cell spacing, and shape, significantly influence BTMS performance. Critical considerations include evaluating air- and liquid-based approaches and integrating heat pipes with PCM for passive BTMS. Furthermore, understanding the influence of these factors on temperature uniformity and heat dissipation is essential.

This study develops an advanced spatial decision model to handle uncertainty and optimize HRS placement in Prague, Czechia. The model integrates multiple methodologies: (i) Utilizing 21 criteria across accessibility, environmental, infrastructural, and socioeconomic dimensions, with criteria weights prioritized using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to manage uncertainty in expert judgments. GIS suitability analysis identified optimal areas, with 18.13% of Prague classified as highly suitable for HRS deployment. (ii) Implementing Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering to optimize site distribution and address uncertainty in HRS placement, proposing 10 optimal locations validated by a Silhouette score of 0.68. (iii) Evaluating model performance through sensitivity analysis, revealing responsiveness to criteria variations. To evaluate and rank the proposed HRS locations, we integrated a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), optimizing the selection process by exploring a wider solution space. Additionally, accessibility analysis assessed emergency response coverage, ensuring efficient response times. This multi-methodological framework ensures a robust, data-driven approach to site selection, optimizing accessibility, minimizing environmental impact, and promoting sustainable urban transportation.

However, evaluating the maximum capacity with limited cycle information alone is insufficient to fully indicate the extent of battery degradation. Here, this study propose a battery degradation monitoring method using relaxation voltage combined with encoder-decoder to extend traditional maximum capacity estimation to the entire voltage-capacity (V-Q) curve estimation. The encoder-decoder is constructed using a two-stage training strategy of unsupervised pre-training and transfer learning. Firstly, the short-time relaxation voltage sequence are input the autoencoder for unsupervised pre-training. Through this auto-encoding process, the encoder acquires feature learning capability on the unlabeled relaxation voltages under the same test conditions. Subsequently, the two-stage training process is completed by freezing the encoder weights and performing transfer learning on the decoder to map the relaxation voltage sequence to its corresponding V-Q curve. The proposed method achieves more advanced prediction performance than direct training at the same epochs. This means higher accuracy in using V-Q curves and the derived incremental capacity curves for comprehensive battery degradation monitoring. Validated on 130 battery samples from different laboratories, the proposed method predicts high-fidelity V-Q curves with a root-mean-square error of less than 0.03 Ah.

With the gradual development of large-scale energy storage batteries, the composition and explosive characteristics of thermal runaway products in large-scale lithium iron phosphate batteries for energy storage remain unclear. In this paper, the content and components of the two-phase eruption substances of 340Ah lithium iron phosphate battery were determined through experiments, and the explosion parameters of the two-phase battery eruptions were studied by using the improved and optimized 20L spherical explosion parameter test system, which reveals the explosion law and hazards of the two-phase battery eruptions. Studies have shown that in a two-phase system explosion, EMC can make the two-phase system more explosive and more powerful, and the thermal runaway gas expands its explosion concentration range. The coupling explosion of the two enhanced the sensitivity and explosive power of the two-phase ejecta. Increasing the concentration of any combustible in a two-phase system will cause the explosion intensity parameters of the system to increase. However, when the combustible concentration exceeds the optimal explosion concentration, the explosion intensity parameters will decrease or even no explosion will occur. Both explosion intensity parameters and sensitivity parameters are more sensitive to EMC concentration, and the higher the EMC concentration, the stronger its dominant role in the explosion of the two-phase system.

Therefore this paper developed an active optimal control strategy for stack temperature with adaptive control objective to enhance the output performance of PEMFCs in hybrid systems. To this end, firstly, a quantitative mapping relationship between operating temperature and current was established through experimental calibration, identifying the optimal temperature path for maximizing output voltage at different current levels. Secondly, a control-oriented voltage model was developed to describe the phenomenon observed experimentally, where the output voltage initially increased and then decreased with the monotonically increasing stack temperature, provided that other parameters remain constant. Finally, an active optimal control strategy is proposed, which actively adjusts the temperature control objective in real-time according to the prevailing operating current and the predetermined optimal temperature path.
