Talk Abstract
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles is generating massive volumes of retired lithium-ion batteries (RLiBs), most of which still retain up to 80% of their original capacity. While unsuitable for reuse in vehicles, these batteries present great potential for second-life energy storage systems. However, the transition is not without challenges. This seminar will explore the latest AI-driven methodologies developed at Western University for state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-health (SOH), and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation of RLiBs. Emphasis will be placed on interpretability, data challenges, and real-world deployment across varying battery <a href="http://conditions.
