Description
Summary:Global electric vehicle (EV) markets are rapidly expanding, and the efficient management of batteries has become increasingly important due to supply constraints of rare metals and other raw materials required for lithium-ion batteries. Accordingly, the reuse and recycling of used batteries from early EVs are emerging as key solutions. This study proposes a machine learning-based approach to rapidly and reliably estimate the static capacity of used batteries. While conventional methods require significant measurement time, this study demonstrates that accurate static capacity estimation is possible using only short-term partial discharge data (6 min under 1C-rate CC conditions) by leveraging an RNN (recurrent neural network) architecture specialized for time-series data processing. The proposed model achieves high prediction accuracy, with an average RMSE of 28.439 mAh, average MSE of 808.799 mAh<sup>2</sup>, average MAE of 13.049 mAh, and average R<sup>2</sup> of 0.9993, while significantly reducing the evaluation time compared to conventional methods. This is expected to greatly enhance the efficiency and practicality of battery reuse and recycling processes.
