Abstract: The power battery is a key component of the electric vehicle, and its State of health (SOH) parameters directly affect the safety and reliability of the electric vehicle. Considering the problem of the reduced SOH estimation accuracy of Li-ion battery, this paper proposes a joint algorithm of the firefly algorithm-back propagation neural network K-means (FA-BPNN-K-means) for SOH estimation to alleviate the wide voltage platform and severe polarization. In particular, the BPNN model of the battery is first established. The ohmic resistance, polarization resistance, and polarization capacitance of the battery are used as the input parameters of the model, and SOH was used as the output parameters. Secondly, the firefly algorithm (FA) is used to optimize BPNN for SOH estimation of Li-ion battery, solving the problem that BPNN is easy to fall into the local minimum and the convergence rate is slow. Finally, the predicted output of the FA-BPNN model is substituted into the K-means algorithm for clustering, and the data points for evaluation are obtained to reduce the cumulative error caused by the battery model. Compared with the BPNN algorithm, FA-BPNN-K-means joint optimization algorithm, obtaining lower error in SOH estimation, and it has good convergence. Besides, it is accompanied by higher prediction accuracy, which can guarantee the stable operation of the battery management system.
