Abstract
This study focuses on the safety and reliability issues of lithium-ion batteries, proposing a fault diagnosis strategy that leverages dual feature extraction in the time-frequency domains. Additionally, by modifying the traditional autoencoder, the study proposes a feature-guided autoencoder as an unsupervised model for extracting features in the time domain. Initially, wavelet packet decomposition and its energy denoising treatment are employed to refine fault information within battery voltage signals. Subsequently, the reconstruction error outputted by the Feature-Guided Autoencoder is utilized as the time-domain fault feature, while the cosine similarity of the energy of signals in various frequency bands obtained after wavelet packet decomposition serves as the frequency-domain fault feature. Ultimately, this paper selects the Isolation Forest algorithm for two-dimensional outlier detection of time-frequency features. Experimental results demonstrate that the Feature-Guided Autoencoder proposed in this study not only enhances the sensitivity of time-domain fault features compared to traditional autoencoders and their variants but also optimizes issues related to training time and computational load. The effectiveness of the proposed dual feature fault diagnosis method in both the time and frequency domains is validated through data from two actual vehicles, showing superior early fault detection capability relative to single-feature fault diagnosis methods.
