Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global energy transition and the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the SOH of power batteries is directly related to vehicle safety, driving range, and service life, and its accurate estimation has become a critical demand of the industry. However, the internal electrochemical degradation process of power batteries is complex and affected by the coupling of multiple factors. Traditional estimation methods relying on a single data source or simple models suffer from drawbacks such as insufficient accuracy and weak generalization ability. This paper proposes an SOH estimation framework based on multi-source data fusion and the random forest algorithm. The framework integrates time-series data (e.g., voltage, current, and temperature) during battery charging and discharging cycles as well as indirect health indicators. Through efficient data fusion and a structured feature engineering process, key features are screened to construct a random forest estimation model. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed model achieves high-precision and robust SOH estimation of power batteries, with a significant reduction in the mean absolute error. It provides an effective technical approach for online state estimation in battery management systems (BMS) and also offers a valuable reference for research in the field of condition monitoring and life prediction for complex systems.
