【Abstract】High intensity lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles (EV), and critical marine and space systems. Their reliability and performance play an important role in the entire engineering system. As a result, developing prognostics and health management (PHM) approaches for Li-Ion batteries has received increasing attention in recent years. This talk discusses a few model development for Li-Ion battery prognosis at different data and knowledge granularities. We use both simulation and real experiment data to demonstrate the features of different models. Through this research example, we want to highlight that statistical models, when fused with engineering knowledge, can lead to a more effective data analytics solution to practical problems.
