Abstract: The accurate estimation of the state of charge, the state of health and the prediction of
remaining useful life of lithium–ion batteries is an important component of battery management. It
is of great significance to prolong battery life and ensure the reliability of the battery system. Many
researchers have completed a large amount of work on battery state evaluation and RUL prediction
methods and proposed a variety of methods. This paper first introduces the definition of the SOC, the
SOH and the existing estimation methods. Then, the definition of RUL is introduced, and the main
methods are classified and compared. Finally, the challenges of lithium–ion battery state estimation
and RUL prediction are summarized, and the direction for future development is proposed.

Keywords: lithium–ion battery; SOC estimation; SOH estimation; RUL prediction

1. Introduction
Lithium–ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, low self-discharge
and long life, and have been used in many fields [1,2]. Given the background of an
expanding lithium–ion battery global market, related technical research such as state-of-
charge (SOC) estimation needs to be gradually improved to effectively ensure the promotion
and application of lithium–ion batteries in multiple scenarios. Accurate estimation of the

Uoc (SOCk ) is the function of open circuit voltage Uoc with respect to SOC, which
can be obtained by fitting the curve of OCV–SOC. R1 , C1 are the internal resistance and
capacitance of polarization, respectively. R0 is the ohmic internal resistance of the battery;
QI is the actual total capacity under the current I. The battery’s SOC can be estimated by
combining the filter and its derived algorithm.
The commonly used filters include the Kalman filter (KF), the particle filter (PF) and
the H infinite filter (HIF).
Sustainability 2023, 15, 5014 8 of 22

The KF can use the output data to continuously revise the system state variables and
provide the optimal estimation of the state quantity at the next moment [23]. The KF is
widely used in the research of battery SOC because of its good resistance to noise and low
dependence on an initial value.
Since lithium–ion batteries are nonlinear systems, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is
used to estimate the SOC [24], which solves problems caused by system nonlinearity by
performing a Taylor expansion at the operating point.
According to Equations (7) and (8), the error of the EKF comes from the following
three points:
(1) Only the first-order term is taken when the Taylor expansion is carried out on the
nonlinear system at the operating point, and the higher-order term is ignored;
(2) Noise wk and vk ,and their covariances Q and R, are constants and do not change
dynamically;
(3) Inaccurate battery model parameters of R0 , R1 and C1 will lead to large errors.
For problem (1), the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is employed [25]. The UKF elim-
inates the larger error caused by the partial derivative of the first order using the Taylor
expansion of the nonlinear function in the EKF. However, this method needs accurate
statistical characteristics for the system process noise and the observation noise. In addition,
because the calculation process is based on a matrix, when there are drastic fluctuations of
voltage and current in the system, the matrix cannot guarantee strict positive quality, result-
ing in divergence of state estimation and unstable estimation [26]; the amount of calculation
is also large. To solve the problem of the UKF, some scholars proposed the square root
unscented Kalman filter (SR–UKF) and ensured the semi-positive nature of the covariance
matrix by Cholesky decomposition factor updating and matrix QR decomposition, which
increases the stability of calculation [27]. However, problem (2) still remains.
The adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) method was proposed by reference [28]
to solve problem (2). Based on the EKF, the AEKF focused on the problem of filtering
divergence caused by the unknowability of the covariance matrices Q and R. A forgetting
factor is added to the EKF, and the covariance of error is corrected by the observed value.
The convergence rate is improved by dynamic changes in Q and R. However, the AEKF
does not consider the change in model and equation parameters, and the fixed forgetting
factor will also introduce errors.
The idea of the PF is based on the Monte Carlo method, which uses sets of particles to
represent probabilities, and can be applied to any form of state–space model. Compared
with the KF, the PF is a nonlinear and non-Gaussian filtering method, which does not make
a linear assumption or a Gaussian hypothesis of posterior probability. In reference [29], the
PF was used to estimate the SOC of Fe–phosphate lithium–ion batteries, and the results
showed that it could well describe the external characteristics of nonlinear systems and
significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the SOC. However, particle degradation
was prone to occur. To solve problems such as particle scarcity and noise disturbance,
reference [30] proposed an improved estimation algorithm, the unscented particle filter
(UPF), to achieve accurate SOC estimation. However, the UPF requires high computing
ability for hardware devices.
The HIF method is an improved algorithm based on the EKF. In the HIF, Q and R are
parameters designed according to the prior knowledge of wk and vk . Compared with the
EKF and the PF, model inaccuracy and noise uncertainty can be better tolerated [31,32]. In
reference [33], the HIF algorithm was used to obtain the SOC estimation results with high
accuracy and robustness. Reference [34] uses a dual HIF algorithm to estimate the SOC,
which can stabilize the estimation error within 2%. Most of the HIF algorithms can achieve
high accuracy; however, due to their robustness, there is still a problem of insensitivity to
system state and model uncertainty to noise. In reference [35], a nonlinear observer based
on HIF was proposed to estimate the SOC for lithium–ion batteries. Experimental results
show that this algorithm can suppress model errors under different working conditions,
but the algorithm is slow to respond to changes in model parameters.
Sustainability 2023, 15, 5014 9 of 22

Similar to filters, observer-based methods can also observe model states in real time
by calculating systematic errors [36]. Among them, the sliding mode observer (SMO) is a
closed-loop state observer, and the output variable provides correction for the observer sys-
tem. Due to its closed-loop characteristics, the SMO has strong robustness, low sensitivity
to battery model structure and parameter disturbance [37], no prior information to predict
noise [38] and its estimation accuracy is close to that of the PF. Reference [39] proposes
an SOC estimation method for lithium–ion batteries based on an improved SMO, which
inherits the good robustness of the SMO.

2.3.2. SOC Estimation Method Based on the Electrochemical Model


Although the electrical model is simple, it cannot fully reflect the state change caused
by the change in the internal mechanism of the battery. The electrochemical model of
the lithium–ion battery describes the chemical reaction inside the battery and has a more
definite physical meaning. The battery electrochemical model mainly includes a pseudo
two-dimensional (P2D) model [40], a single particle (SP) model and a simplified P2D model.
The comparison of the three models is also shown in Table 1.
The P2D model regards the lithium battery as a structure composed of electrodes
(positive and negative), a diaphragm and an electrolyte full of numerous spherical solid
particles. A series of partial differential equations (PDE) is used to describe the dynamic
mechanism inside the battery. It can carry out accurate battery state estimation and has
universality and scalability. It is suitable for batteries of different material systems and can
be developed and extended to more complex multi-field coupling models. However, for
complex models, in addition to excessive parameters, it is also difficult to find analytical
solutions for PDE [8].
The SP model is the simplest electrochemical model of the lithium battery, which is
simplified from the P2D model. In the SP model, two spherical particles are regarded
as the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, respectively. It is assumed that the
embedding and ejection process of lithium ions occurs on the spherical particles, and the
concentration of the electrolyte and its internal potential are considered constant. The
single particle model is simple in structure and small in calculation. However, the model
assumption is not valid under the conditions of high rates of charge and discharge, so it
will introduce large errors.
Since the equations of the P2D model are too complex and the accuracy of the SP
model is poor, many scholars have proposed different simplified methods for the P2D
model in different application scenarios to ensure calculation accuracy and reduce the
amount of calculation. The existing simplification methods mainly include geometric
structure simplification, solid–liquid diffusion process simplification and transformation
simplification by mathematical algorithm. In reference [41], mathematical equations were
established to describe the internal physical and chemical behaviors of power batteries
during charging and discharging based on the porous electrode theory and the concentrated
solution theory; the finite analysis method was used to grid and discretize the PDE, reducing
its order to an ordinary differential equation. However, the simplified model cannot solve
the inherent problem of excessive P2D parameters and will reduce the model accuracy to
varying degrees. It is still worth thinking about how to balance the amount of calculation
and the model’s accuracy [42–45].
When calculating the SOC based on the electrochemical model, different from Equation (1),
the SOC of the electrochemical mechanism model (such as the P2D model and the SP
model) is divided into surface SOC and average SOC [46], which can be expressed as

θs,i − θs0%
SOCsurf = (9)
θs100% − θs0%

θs,i − θs0%
SOCbulk = 100%
(10)
θs − θs0%
Sustainability 2023, 15, 5014 10 of 22

where SOCsurf and SOCbulk represent surface SOC and average SOC, respectively. The
parameters θ s,i and θs,i represent electrode utilization and the average utilization rate of the
electrode, respectively, while θ s,i is the ratio of solid lithium ion concentration to the largest
solid lithium ion concentration ratio. The electrode utilization ratio of θ s 0% and θ s 100% is
for 0% SOC and 100% SOC, respectively.
Similar to the calculation of the SOC based on an external characteristic model, the
SOC of an electrochemical model can be estimated by a filter or observer.

2.4. Data-Driven Methods


The relationship between battery parameters and the SOC is complex and non-linear,
making it difficult to establish a model with traditional mathematical methods [47]. Data-
driven methods do not rely on a specific model of the battery, and can directly rely on
the mapping relationship between the input and output of the system to estimate the
SOC. At present, widely used data-driven methods include neural networks, regression
analysis, etc.

2.4.1. Neural Networks and their Improvement Method


The SOC estimation method based on neural networks takes the battery operating
data, such as voltage, current and other parameters as input and SOC as output and
trains the system through sample data to find the mapping relationship between various
parameters [48].
The basic structure of a neural network (NN) consists of a three-layer formation as
shown in Figure 6. The input layer takes the vector of instantaneous current, voltage and
temperature values. The output layer is the instantaneous SOC value. By training the NN,
it is able to form a non-linear map that accurately models the input–output relationship
without any prior knowledge of the internal structure of the battery [49]. The relationship
between the input layer and the output layer is developed using a suitable number of
hidden layers, hidden neurons and an activation function. The SOC in the output layer can

estimation based on a BP neural network. However, BP neural networks tend to easily


converge to local optimum. In addition, the network structure is different, making it
easy for non-convergence to appear. Currently, there exists a number of common NN
architectures. Recurrent neural network (RNN) is a neural network that takes sequence
data as input and makes recursion in the evolution direction of the sequence; all loop
nodes are connected by a chain, which is suitable to estimate the SOC and other temporal
data [51]. However, during its training, gradient vanishing and gradient explosion will
appear. To solve these two problems, some scholars propose a long short-term memory
(LSTM) neural network [52–54], a gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network [55,56] and
a Bi LSTM neural network [57]. LSTMs solve the problem of gradient vanishing and
gradient explosion during long sequence training. Compared to an ordinary RNN, an
LSTM can perform better in longer sequences. A GRU is an improvement on an LSTM,
with the same accuracy as LSTM, but with fewer parameters and faster computation. In
reference [58], an RNN with the GRU is established to evaluate the SOC for a LIB. The
ensemble optimization method based on a Nadam and AdaMAx optimizer is used to
improve the training operation and determine the optimal parameters.
However, all neural networks and their derivative methods have three disadvantages:
they need to collect a large amount of data, which is not applicable for online estimation;
training results are too dependent on sample quality; and the overfitting problem appears
easily since the battery’s model is not involved.

2.4.2. The Regression Analysis Method and Its Improvement


The regression analysis method involves processing a large number of statistical data
to determine the correlation between dependent variables and some independent variables.
It establishes a regression equation with good correlation and can be extrapolated to predict
the future change in dependent variables.
A support vector machine (SVM) is an algorithm that uses classification and regression
analysis techniques to process data [59]. This method is effective in12high-dimensional

2.5. The Joint Method


Due to the advantages and disadvantages of each method, some scholars use the
integration of multiple methods to estimate the SOC, with complementary advantages. The
fusion types include the fusion of a model-based method and a data-driven method, the
fusion of different data-driven methods, etc. Reference [64] proposed a convolutional neural
network (CNN) and an LSTM integration model, which established a mapping relationship
between the SOC at the current moment and the discharge data of lithium batteries at
several historical moments, improving the accuracy of SOC estimation. Reference [65]
analyzed the nonlinear relationship between the OCV and the SOC based on the Thevenin
equivalent circuit model and combined the models, employing improved UKF with neural
networks to estimate the SOC; this was more accurate than the ordinary UKF.
After a comprehensive analysis of the above methods for estimating the lithium–ion
battery’s SOC, the advantages and disadvantages of common methods for estimating the
lithium–ion battery’s SOC are compared, as shown in Table 2.

3. RUL Prediction Method


3.1. Classification of RUL Prediction Methods
Due to the electrochemical side reaction in the anode and cathode electrolyte of the
battery, as well as the influence of mechanical stress, manufacturing process defects, envi-
ronmental temperature and other external factors, the degradation of batteries has become
a complex problem [66]. Determining the RUL of a battery under different operating
conditions is of great significance to accurately estimate the battery replacement cycle
or maintain the battery [67]. It is generally believed that when the real-time capacity of
lithium–ion battery drops to 80% of the rated capacity, the critical value of battery failure is
reached [68].
The RUL refers to the number of charge/discharge cycles before the battery health
state has deteriorated to a point where it reaches EOL [69]. As Figure 1 shows, the RUL is
the remaining cycle numbers of the battery from the current SOH to EOL. Thus, the SOH
and the RUL can be estimated with the same methodology. The SOH estimation methods
are not further reviewed in this paper. Similar to the SOC estimation, the RUL estimation
and prediction methods for the lithium–ion battery comprise a model-based method, a
Sustainability 2023, 15, 5014 13 of 22

data-driven method and a joint method since the RUL can also be regarded as a battery
state. Different from the SOC, the RUL is not an instantaneous characteristic so it can be
predicted through an empirical model, a semi-empirical model and a time series prediction
data-driven method.

3.2. The Model-Based Method


As Figure 8 shows, according to different modeling mechanisms, that the model-based

The empirical model only needs one function to evaluate the RUL, which is easy to
operate and small in calculation. However, due to its lack of real physical meaning, the
estimation accuracy is low.

3.2.2. The Semi-Empirical Model


The semi-empirical model considers the influence of various physical factors on battery
aging by adopting the stress factors related to battery aging and modeling the change in
stress factors. Stress factors related to battery aging are usually modeled based on the
inverse power law [75], the Arrhenius model [76] and the double exponential model. The
stress factors can be classified according to different criteria:
(1) Battery parameters including the SOC [77], solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film
formation and capacity plummeting [78], etc.;
(2) Operating conditions including charge or discharge rate [74], charge or discharge cut-off
voltage [79], depth of discharge (DOD) [80,81], Ampere hour (Ah) throughput [82], etc.;
(3) Operating environment including temperature [81], etc.
Different stress factors can be coupled to obtain the comprehensive capacity decline
rate to redevelop a basic empirical model. Reference [83] applied a semi-empirical model
related to normal temperature, abnormal temperature and discharge rate to evaluate
the RUL. The result showed high accuracy with an estimation error of 2.22%. Besides
discharge rate and temperature, reference [84] coupled the stress factor of cut-off voltage,
the discharge rate and temperature to simulate the battery aging process. Reference [78]
established a capacity decline model based on the SEI films formation mechanism. However,
the semi-empirical model is no longer applicable when the operating conditions of the
battery change significantly since the variation in stress factors cannot be modeled [85].

3.2.3. The Electrical Model


Similar to the SOC estimation, the RUL can also be regarded as a battery state. Thus,
model-based methods for SOC estimation can also be employed to predict the RUL. Ref-
erence [86] proposed an improved UPF to predict the RUL with an error of less than 5%.
Reference [87] proposed a new PF framework based on a conditional variational self-coder
for RUL prediction of lithium batteries. In the process of particle resampling, a reweight-
ing strategy is introduced to prevent the loss of particle diversity. Compared with the
traditional method, this method improves the prediction accuracy.

3.2.4. The Electrochemical Model


The electrochemical model describes the influence of internal chemical and physical
reactions on battery aging, such as electrical conductivity loss, activated substances loss
and lithium–ion loss. However, the complexity of the electrochemical model and poor
dynamic accuracy limit its application in RUL prediction with a large number of aging
related parameters to be identified as compared to the electrical model [88]. Reference [89]
employed the mixtures of the inverse Burr distribution with inverse Gaussian and inverse
Weibull distributions to analyze a battery dataset and predict the RUL through the Monte
Carlo method.

3.3. The Data-Driven Method


The data-driven method selects some historical data as training samples, and then uses
the training algorithm to predict the RUL after training. This method avoids the complex

mathematical model establishment and expertise required for traditional methods. It can
be roughly classified as a time series prediction method and feature-based method.

size of HFs series to figure out the most relevant part. Typical dimensionality reduction
methods include Principal Component Analysis (PCA) [96], Independent Component
Analysis (ICA) [96] and autoencoder [96]. Moreover, the performance of raw HFs may not
be fully satisfactory due to the complexity of the underlying degradation process. To reduce
the possible deviation of the HF from the degradation process, the Box–Cox transformation
is sometimes used to enhance the linear relationship between the HF and the system’s
health status [99,100].

Typically, the NN, the regression method and their improvement are employed to
predict the RUL with an indicator of battery HFs. Reference [101] trained the RNN model
with constraint derived from prior physical knowledge to forecast the RUL. Reference [58]
employed a hybrid method with a PF and GPR to predict the aging trend sequence and
residual sequences. The proposed approach showed wide generality and reduced errors.
Reference [69] optimized the deep learning neural network (DLNN) with evolutionary
algorithms to predict the RUL.

3.4. The Joint Method


The joint method is a combination of the model-based method and the data-driven
method and the combination of various data-driven methods that fuses the merits of
both methods. To improve prediction accuracy, reference [102] proposed an SVR-based
model with the approach of the normal particle swarm optimization (PSO). Reference [103]
proposed a joint method extreme learning machine (ELM), grey wolf optimization (GWO)
and differential evolution (DE). Reference [104] proposed a neural network-based method
combining LSTM with PSO and an attention mechanism for RUL prediction [105]. However,
all joint methods share the demerits of high computational complexity and uncertainty.
The RUL prediction methods are compared in Table 4.

4. Conclusions
This paper summarized the techniques, models and algorithms used in lithium–ion
battery state estimation and RUL prediction in recent years and provides a comparison of
various methods. The actual operating conditions and environment of lithium–ion batteries
vary greatly. Batteries are highly complex, dynamic and nonlinear electrochemical systems,
which impose some challenges in practical application for the existing lithium–ion battery
SOC estimation methods and RUL prediction methods.
The engineering application capability of existing SOC estimation methods is poor.
It is difficult for an experimental method to estimate the SOC during battery operation,
and the application of the model-based method is limited because it relies heavily on the
accuracy of the battery model.
Some RUL prediction methods have low capability for generalization. In terms of the
empirical model and semi-empirical models, model accuracy is greatly affected by battery
parameters and working conditions, so they are difficult to generalize in real practice. In
terms of the data-driven method, the training data set is all the experimental data obtained
under a single working condition, which makes it difficult to use for covering complex
scenarios. The parameters of the data-driven method are usually fixed on most occasions,
hence it is easy to overfit when applied to other battery models and conditions.
(1) The balance between calculation time and accuracy is difficult to reach. Due to the
limitations in the number of computations required, most algorithms are not suitable
for online application. In addition, since batteries are usually integrated as modules,
calculations multiply in the real world which makes real-time application a challenge;
(2) There are only relevant studies on single batteries at present; however, factors such as
the inconsistency of batteries in battery strings in large-scale lithium battery systems
such as in an energy storage power station, will cause the original method to no
longer be applicable. At present, there is little research on the state estimation and
RUL prediction methods of battery packs.
These problems make most of the lithium–ion battery state estimation and the RUL
prediction methods difficult to promote on a large scale, but these challenges also show the future
direction for further research on state estimation and RUL prediction of lithium–ion battery:
(1) Develop the pack-level, cluster-level, system-level battery equivalent model to reduce
the amount of calculation required for state evaluation and RUL prediction;
(2) Enhance state estimation and RUL prediction methods with joint algorithms to com-
pensate for weaknesses and improve the algorithm’s capacity for generalization;
(3) Establish a multi-physical field coupling model for lithium–ion batteries to improve
the accuracy of battery status assessment and RUL prediction.
