Instance-Based Transfer Learning-Improved Battery State-of-Health Estimation with Self-Attention Mechanism

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Batteries’ state-of-health (SOH) estimation has attracted appealing attention in energy industrial systems. In conventional data-driven methods, the lack of target data and different source data can also lead to poor model training effect. To tackle this problem, this paper combines the instance-based transfer (ITL) and interpretable self-attention mechanism (SAM) to integrate the fitting ability of long short-term memory (LSTM), which can improve the SOH estimation performance. ITL re-weights the temporal instance of a training set to give more impact of target-like data, which can relax the independent and identical distribution (IID) assumption. SAM method can enhance the estimation performance by re-weighting the spatial features, and be interpreted by detailed visualization. During the model training, the pre-trained multi-layer LSTM model is fine-tuned by target data to make full use of target information. The proposed method has outperformed other compared algorithms in transfer tasks, and has tested in real-world cross-domain conditions datasets.
