The application of the Bayesian theory of managing uncertainty and complexity to regression and classification in the form of Relevance Vector Machine (RVM), and to state estimation via Particle Filters (PF), proves to be a powerful tool to integrate the diagnosis and prognosis of battery health. Accurate estimates of the state-of-charge (SOC), the state-of-health (SOH) and state-of- life (SOL) for batteries provide a significant value addition to the management of any operation involving electrical systems. This is especially true for aerospace systems, where unanticipated battery performance may lead to catastrophic failures. Batteries, composed of multiple electro- chemical cells, are complex systems whose internal state variables are either inaccessible to sensors or hard to measure under operational conditions. In addition, battery performance is strongly influenced by ambient environmental and load conditions. Consequently, inference and estimation techniques need to be applied on indirect measurements, anticipated operational conditions and historical data, for which a Bayesian statistical approach is suitable. Accurate models of electro-chemical processes in the form of equivalent electric circuit parameters need to be combined with statistical models of state transitions, aging processes and measurement fidelity, need to be combined in a formal framework to make the approach viable. The RVM, which is a Bayesian treatment of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), is used for diagnosis as well as for model development. The PF framework uses this model and statistical estimates of the noise in the system and anticipated operational conditions to provide estimates of SOC, SOH and SOL. Validation of this approach on experimental data from Li-ion batteries is presented.

Uncertainty management has always been the key hurdle faced by diagnostics and prognostics algorithms. A Bayesian treatment of this problem provides an elegant and theoretically sound approach to the modern Condition- Based Maintenance (CBM)/Prognostic Health Management (PHM) paradigm. The application of the Bayesian techniques to regression and classification in the form of Relevance Vector Machine (RVM), and to state estimation as in Particle Filters (PF), provides a powerful tool to integrate the diagnosis and prognosis of battery health. The RVM, which is a Bayesian treatment of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), is used for model identification, while the PF framework uses the learnt model, statistical estimates of noise and anticipated operational conditions to provide estimates of remaining useful life (RUL) in the form of a probability density function (PDF). This type of prognostics generates a significant value addition to the management of any operation involving electrical systems.1 2

Context

This data set is time series electricity use data from rural households using off-grid energy systems in Kenya. As well as indicating lighting electricity use for a real-world use case, it can give insight into active occupancy times in the mornings and evenings. This can support estimation of load profiles for higher tiers of the Multi-tier Framework for energy access by adding in load profiles for additional appliances.

Two solar nano-grids (SONGs) were built in two rural communities in Kenya, as part of the Solar Nano-grids project (EPSRC ref: EP/L002612/1). One aspect of the SONGs were battery-charging systems, in which batteries could be charged at a central solar hub, and used in households to power lighting and mobile phone charging. For each battery the electricity use was recorded in real-time between July 2016 and November 2016 inclusive.

The data consist of separate demand (use of battery in the home for lighting) and charging (charging at the central hub) profiles in csv files, individually for each household. The data are half-hourly measurements of average power used for the household lighting system (3 3W LED bulbs with wiring and switches). There is data for 51 households, ranging in length from 3 days to 5 months. Note that the data set is solely electricity use for the household lighting system, and does not include electricity use via the USB port that was present for charging mobile phones. The households are anonymised and are numbered in order of ascending number of days of data.

The household battery packs were Li-ion with capacity 62 Wh, and the data were recorded using a FRDM K-64F mbed embedded in each. 13 post-processing steps were required to process the data gathered in raw form from the batteries into energy profiles for individual households (see reference below). These included: correcting the timestamps caused by time drift or recalibration of the RTCs, attributing batteries to the correct household, addressing logging disruptions and inconsistent logging frequencies, imposing limits on power and duration of use to remove non-representative battery use, and testing loading conditions to remove abnormal energy use. The gaps in the data and varying lengths of the data are caused by: technical challenges with the batteries, meaning that they required frequent repairing; issues with the RTC on the microcontroller being reset; difficulty in attributing data to the correct household. Between 18th July - 1st August (approx.), the charging hub was shut down and so there is a gap in all energy profiles.

Graphical representations of the data for each household, and further information about the solar nano-grids project, the energy data, and the processing steps involved, can be found in Clements, A F. Data-driven approaches enabling the design of community energy systems in the Global South. DPhil Thesis. Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. 2019.

Data This dataset forms part of the data used for the following article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpowsour.2023.233189. It includes the ultrasonic guided wave data collected during one 0.34C discharge-charge cycle recorded on 13th July 2022. The sensor set-up and required post processing is detailed in the related paper. The data is maintained in its original record format (oscilloscope readings). The following data is included: • Chirp input signal (1 mat file) • Responses of cell to input chirp signal throughout discharge-charge cycle (104 mat files) • Text file containing the voltage, current, temperature, and other parameters.

Signal type Generally, a single tone burst signal may be used to excite a cell (e.g., fig 2 e, blue). Correspondingly, the response to this specific tone burst signal with one specific central frequency (fig 2 g, blue) could be measured. However, when collecting these ultrasonic measurements, it wasn’t decided yet which parameters (center frequency, number of excitation cycles) would be ideal for the probed cell. It was therefore decided to excite the cell with chirp signals. A chirp signal contains a wide range of frequencies (fig 2 b). Therefore, the response signal is chaotic (fig 2 c). It’s therefore hard to analyze the response to a chirp signal directly. Using the chirp signal and the response to the chirp signal the transfer function of the cell at each measurement point was calculated and used to compute the expected response to a tone burst signal (formula 4 / fig 2 e and g, red). This allows to quickly try different center frequencies in the post processing and analyze which frequency is best suited for a specific cell (see figure 3).

Lab protocol The mat files of the ultrasonic measurements include measurements from all paths between the four sensors (see figure 1). For the analysis in figure 6 the data from sensor 1 (emitter) to sensor 2 (receiver) has been used. A pdf explaining the structure of the mat files is attached. The ultrasonic probing was done in time intervals of 5 minutes not SoC intervals. The SoC can be calculated based on the charge drawn from the cell which is included in the electrical measurements. The ultrasonic chirp signal data and the extrinsic cell parameters may be correlated using the time stamp of each recording. The following steps are included in the data.

Most space missions utilize some form of energy storage, such as a battery on their spacecraft. The need for long cycle life, high energy density batteries with minimal self-discharge and enhanced safety are the most critical requirements of energy storage systems used in extended duration space missions. Venus presents the most significant challenge to energy storage systems due to a combination of high temperature (452°C) and presence of corrosive gases (CO2, CO, SO2, and N2). While the rechargeable high temperature sodium sulfur batteries have been previously operated on space-shuttle flights, concerns with their safety due to the highly reactive sodium metal, limited energy density (theoretical = 760 Wh kg-1), corrosive discharge products at 100% depth of discharge, and use of solid electrolyte with poor mechanical strengths and ionic conductivities (e.g. beta-alumina) pose limitations for their use in extended duration space missions such as to Venus. In contrast, the lithium sulfur battery has higher energy density (theoretical = 2735 Wh kg-1), is safer due to the higher ionization energy of lithium vs. sodium, and its discharge product, Li2S, is not corrosive. This proposed research will explore the combined capabilities of high energy density lithium sulfur batteries incorporating solid-state, high-temperature stable, superionic (Li+ only) electrolytes, including phosphates, garnet-type metal-oxide ceramics, and sulfides, that can enable operation of high energy and power densities, high cycle-life, low self-discharge and high safety, rechargeable molten lithium sulfur batteries in Venus-like conditions. Technically, the specific aims of this proposed research include (i) the design of stable interfaces between the solid electrolytes and the molten lithium and sulfur electrodes, (ii) a novel scheme to construct porous ceramic solid electrolyte hosts to encapsulate active cathode materials, and (iii) hollow lithiated silicon anodes to restrict the fracture of solid electrolytes by confining electrode volume changes, and (iv) construction of a high energy, long cycle life, safe and durable lithium sulfur battery incorporating the above improved components operable at temperatures 200-500°C. These aims will map the parameter space for electrochemical performance, high temperature stability, interfacial properties, and mechanisms for cell degradation of the proposed lithium sulfur batteries. The success of high temperature, safe, and long cycle life lithium sulfur batteries will enable a sustainable energy source to propel not only future NASA space missions in extreme environments but also terrestrial applications such as grid energy storage and downhole explorations in the oil and gas industry where temperatures exceed 200°C.

This paper explores how the remaining useful life (RUL) can be assessed for complex systems whose internal state variables are either inaccessible to sensors or hard to measure under operational conditions. Consequently, inference and esti- mation techniques need to be applied on indirect measurements, anticipated operational conditions, and historical data for which a Bayesian statistical approach is suitable. Models of electrochem- ical processes in the form of equivalent electric circuit parame- ters were combined with statistical models of state transitions, aging processes, and measurement fidelity in a formal frame- work. Relevance vector machines (RVMs) and several different particle filters (PFs) are examined for remaining life prediction and for providing uncertainty bounds.
