Remaining Useful Life Estimation of Lithium-Ion Battery Based on Gaussian Mixture Ensemble Kalman Filter

The remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is a crucial indicator for the lithium-ion battery health prognostic. The particle filter (PF), used together with an empirical model, has become one of the most well-accepted techniques for RUL prediction. In this work, a novel filtering algorithm, named the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) - ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is proposed. It embeds the Gaussian mixture model in the EnKF framework to cope with the non-Gaussian feature of the system state space, and meanwhile address some of the major shortcomings of the PF. The GMM-EnKF and the PF are both applied on public data sets for RUL prediction and the simulation results show superiority of our proposed approach to the PF.
