Estimation of Lead Acid Battery Degradation- A Model for the Optimization of Battery Energy Storage System using Machine Learning
Energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important as more renewable energy systems are integrated into the electrical (or power utility) grid. Low-cost and reliable energy storage is paramount if renewable energy systems are to be increasingly integrated into the power grid. Lead-acid batteries are widely used as energy storage for stationary renewable energy systems and agriculture due to their low cost, especially compared to lithium-ion batteries (LIB). However, lead-acid battery technology suffers from system degradation and a relatively short lifetime, largely due to its charging/discharging cycles. In the present study, we use Machine Learning methodology to estimate the battery degradation in an energy storage system. It uses two types of datasets: discharge condition and lead acid battery data. In the initial analysis, the Support Vector Regression (SVR) method with the RBF kernel showed poor results, with a low accuracy value of 0.0127 and RMSE 5377. On the other hand, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) method demonstrated better estimation results with an RMSE value of 0.0688, which is relatively close to 0.
