RUL Prediction for Lithium Battery Systems in Fuel Cell Ships Based on Adaptive Modal Enhancement Networks

Abstract

With the widespread application of fuel cell technology in the fields of transportation and energy, Battery Management Systems (BMSs) have become one of the key technologies for ensuring system stability and extending battery lifespan. As an auxiliary power source in fuel cell systems, the prediction of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of fuel cell ships. However, due to the complex degradation mechanisms of lithium batteries and the actual noisy operating conditions, particularly capacity regeneration noise, accurate RUL prediction remains a challenge. To address this issue, this paper proposes a lithium battery RUL prediction method based on an Adaptive Modal Enhancement Network (RIME-VMD-SEInformer). By incorporating an improved Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) technique, the RIME algorithm is used to optimize decomposition parameters for the adaptive extraction of key modes from the signal. The Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks (SEAttention) module is employed to enhance the accuracy of feature extraction, and the sparse attention mechanism of Informer is utilized to efficiently model long-term dependencies in time series. This results in a comprehensive prediction framework that spans signal decomposition, feature enhancement, and time-series modeling. The method is validated on several public datasets, and the results demonstrate that each component of the RIME-VMD-SEInformer framework is both necessary and justifiable, leading to improved performance. The model outperforms the state-of-the-art models, with a MAPE of only 0.00837 on the B0005 dataset, representing a 59.96% reduction compared to other algorithms, showcasing outstanding prediction performance.
