Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electric vehicles due to their advantages of high specific energy and low-temperature resistance, so this paper takes lithium-ion batteries as the research object. BMS can monitor various status information of lithium-ion batteries in real-time, and the State of Charge (SOC) of lithium-ion batteries is a key parameter among them. Accurate SOC estimation is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of energy storage applications and new energy vehicles. However, the value of SOC cannot be directly measured. In order to more accurately estimate the SOC, this paper proposes a prediction method that combines an immune genetic algorithm, gated recurrent unit, and multi-head attention mechanism (MHA), using battery experimental data from the University of Maryland as the dataset. Compared with the traditional parameter optimization approach, this paper uses the immune genetic algorithm to find the optimal hyperparameters of the model, which on the one hand has a wider choice of parameters, and on the other hand has been improved for the genetic algorithm is easy to fall into the local optimal solution, so as to improve the SOC estimation accuracy of the GRU model. The model also incorporates a multi-attention mechanism to capture different levels of information, which enhances the expressive power of the model. The data preprocessing part adopts the sliding window technique, through which the original time series data is converted into several different training samples when training the machine learning model, as a way to increase the diversity of the dataset and improve the robustness of the model. Finally, the prediction performance of the fusion model proposed in this paper is verified by Pycharm simulation, and the average absolute error, root mean square error and maximum prediction error of the model are 1.62%, 1.55% and 0.5%, respectively, which proves that the model can accurately predict the SOC of lithium-ion battery. It is shown that the model can significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of SOC estimation, enhance the intelligence, real-time and interpretability of the battery management system, and bring a more efficient, safe and long-lasting battery management solution to the fields of electric vehicles and energy storage systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":538,"journal":{"name":"Energy Informatics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://energyinformatics.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s42162-024-00453-w","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142906015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By comparing the proposed optimized model with other models, the study analyzes the advantages of the proposed model in terms of prediction accuracy and convergence speed. Moreover, its practical effectiveness in energy consumption and operational cost optimization is evaluated. The results show that the Genetic Algorithm-Fuzzy Logic Algorithm-Back Propagation (GA-FLA-BP) algorithm performs the best in load prediction, with prediction errors typically below 1.5%, particularly on the 5th and 18th days, demonstrating exceptional performance. Compared to the GA-BP and FLA-BP models, the GA-FLA-BP algorithm exhibits stronger capabilities in handling complex data and uncertainty. Regarding energy consumption and electricity cost optimization, GA-FLA-BP also outperforms other models. Its energy consumption prediction accuracy is 91.5% and an electricity cost prediction accuracy is 90.8%, resulting in savings of 29.2% in energy consumption and 31.2% in costs. Although other algorithms show improvements, GA-FLA-BP remains significantly ahead. Furthermore, the GA-FLA-BP algorithm excels in robustness, consistency, time complexity, and real-time performance. This algorithm demonstrates the highest stability and consistency, the fastest processing speed, and the shortest response time, proving its superior performance in energy consumption management and cost optimization. This study enhances the intelligent adjustment capability of the fresh air system in hospital buildings by optimizing the energy consumption prediction model.

Using panel data from Chinese prefecture-level cities spanning 2006 to 2021, the analysis shows that a one-unit increase in GFM improves UEE by 0.221 standard deviations. Mechanism analysis reveals that this effect is primarily mediated through technological advancements and improvements in innovation capacity. Further heterogeneity analysis highlights that GFM’s impact is more pronounced in non-resource-based cities and in regions characterized by advanced financial systems, greater global market integration, and higher levels of urbanization.

The improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm optimizes multi-source power supply systems. This results in the provision of innovative solutions for power systems and multi-source power supply collaborative control in flooded environments. Simulation experiments have demonstrated that, under conditions of mild flooding, the voltage of the ring net cage remained at approximately 400 V. In the case of severe flooding, the voltage of the ring net cage was switched to the bypass backup circuit and the voltage was maintained at around 220 V. The current changed with the load. The minimum comprehensive operating cost of the multi-source power supply system optimized based on the improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was 1,453 yuan. Optimization strategies could reduce the unbalanced power of the system and increase the utilization rate of renewable energy to over 90%.

The HATDRS model integrates a hybrid machine learning approach, combining supervised logistic regression with adaptive learning mechanisms, providing real-time threat detection and mitigation. This approach was chosen for its ability to integrate labelled data with real-time unsupervised feedback, providing dynamic and accurate threat detection in wind energy systems. The model was evaluated against traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Machine Learning-based Anomaly Detection Systems (ML-ADS) across key metrics, including accuracy, detection rate, false positive rate, response time, System Security Index (SSI), energy loss, and cost-efficiency. The results demonstrate that the HATDRS model outperforms its counterparts, achieving an accuracy of 95.4% and a detection rate of 97.2% while maintaining the lowest false positive rate (3.1%) and response time (500 ms). Additionally, the model achieved the highest SSI value of 88.7, significantly reducing energy loss to 1.5% and improving cost-efficiency to 0.528.
