Abstract

Although the worldwide battery market is recently spurring the development of lithium secondary battery, lead acid batteries (rechargeable batteries) which have good-performance and can be reused are consumed in a wide range of industry fields. However, lead-acid batteries have a serious problem in that deterioration of a battery makes progress quickly in the presence of that degradation of only one cell among several cells which is packed in a battery begins. To overcome this problem, previous researches have attempted to identify the mechanism of deterioration of a battery in many ways. However, most of previous researches have used data obtained in a laboratory to analyze the mechanism of deterioration of a battery but not used data obtained in a real world. The usage of real data can increase the feasibility and the applicability of the findings of a research. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model which predicts the battery deterioration using data obtained in real world. To this end, we collected data which presents change of battery state by attaching sensors enabling to monitor the battery condition in real time to dozens of golf carts operated in the real golf field. As a result, total 16,883 samples were obtained. And then, we developed a model which predicts a precursor phenomenon representing deterioration of a battery by analyzing the data collected from the sensors using machine learning techniques. As initial independent variables, we used 1) inbound time of a cart, 2) outbound time of a cart, 3) duration(from outbound time to charge time), 4) charge amount, 5) used amount, 6) charge efficiency, 7) lowest temperature of battery cell 1 to 6, 8) lowest voltage of battery cell 1 to 6, 9) highest voltage of battery cell 1 to 6, 10) voltage of battery cell 1 to 6 at the beginning of operation, 11) voltage of battery cell 1 to 6 at the end of charge, 12) used amount of battery cell 1 to 6 during operation, 13) used amount of battery during operation(Max-Min), 14) duration of battery use, and 15) highest current during operation. Since the values of the independent variables, lowest temperature of battery cell 1 to 6, lowest voltage of battery cell 1 to 6, highest voltage of battery cell 1 to 6, voltage of battery cell 1 to 6 at the beginning of operation, voltage of battery cell 1 to 6 at the end of charge, and used amount of battery cell 1 to 6 during operation are similar to that of each battery cell, we conducted principal component analysis using verimax orthogonal rotation in order to mitigate the multiple collinearity problem. According to the results, we made new variables by averaging the values of independent variables clustered together, and used them as final independent variables instead of origin variables, thereby reducing the dimension. We used decision tree, logistic regression, Bayesian network as algorithms for building prediction models. And also, we built prediction models using the bagging of each of them, the boosting of each of them, and RandomForest. Experimental results show that the prediction model using the bagging of decision tree yields the best accuracy of 89.3923%. This study has some limitations in that the additional variables which affect the deterioration of battery such as weather (temperature, humidity) and driving habits, did not considered, therefore, we would like to consider the them in the future research. However, the battery deterioration prediction model proposed in the present study is expected to enable effective and efficient management of battery used in the real filed by dramatically and to reduce the cost caused by not detecting battery deterioration accordingly.

현재 전세계 배터리 시장은 이차전지 개발에 박차를 가하고 있는 실정이지만, 실제로 소비되는 배터리 중 가격 대비 성능이 좋고 재충전을 통해 다시 재사용이 가능한 납축전지(이차전지)의 소비가 광범위하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 납축전지는 복합적 셀(cell)을 묶어 하나의 배터리를 구성하여 활용하는 배터리의 특성상 하나의 셀에서 열화가 발생하면 전체 배터리의 손상을 가져와 열화가 빨리 진행되는 문제가 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구는 기계학습을 통한 배터리 상태 데이터를 학습하여 배터리 열화를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 실제 현장에서 배터리 상태를 지속적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 센서를 골프장 카트에 부착하여 실시간으로 배터리 상태 데이터를 수집하고, 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 기계학습 기법을 적용한 분석을 통해 열화 전조 현상에 대한 예측 모델을 개발하였다. 총 16,883개의 샘플을 분석 데이터로 사용하였으며, 예측 모델을 만들기 위한 알고리즘으로 의사결정나무, 로지스틱, 베이지언, 배깅, 부스팅, RandomForest를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 의사결정나무를 기본 알고리즘으로 사용한 배깅 모델이 89.3923%이 가장 높은 적중률을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 날씨와 운전습관 등 배터리 열화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 추가적인 변수들을 고려하지 못했다는 한계점이 있으나, 이는 향후 연구에서 다루고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 배터리 열화 예측 모델은 배터리 열화의 전조현상을 사전에 예측함으로써 배터리 관리를 효율적으로 수행하고 이에 따른 비용을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
