Battery terminal voltage modelling is crucial for various applications, including electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable electronics. Terminal voltage models are used to determine how a battery will respond under load and can be used to calculate run-time, power capability, and heat generation and as a component of state estimation approaches, such as for state of charge. Previous studies have shown better voltage modelling accuracy for long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks than other traditional methods (e.g., equivalent circuit and electrochemical models). This study presents two new approaches – sequence training and data shuffling – to improve LSTM battery voltage models further, making them an even better candidate for the high-accuracy modelling of lithium-ion batteries. Because the LSTM memory captures information from past time steps, it must typically be trained using one series of continuous data.
