Researchers at IdahoNational Laboratory have developed a new advanced methodology for real-timebattery health analysis and performance optimization that utilizes embeddeddata analytics and machine learning techniques. The system combines active(e.g. impedance) with passive (e.g. temperature) measurements withcomputationally-efficient data analytics and machine learning to assess realtime health under load operation. The system is capable of estimating severalhealth and performance metrics including State-of-Charge (SOC), State-of-Health(SOH), and Remaining-Useful-Life (RUL). The capability supports the productionof smart battery products with sufficient intelligence to allow for automated,real-time control and optimization.
