2.3. State of Health (SOH) of Battery:
Venugopal et al. [
62] assessed that the usable battery’s capacity should not fall below 80% of its original capacity because of its exponential degradation below 80 percent. Estimating battery SOH is challenging as many unknown and unpredictable aspects influence the battery's health. To estimate the SOH of Li-ion batteries utilized in EV applications, the Independently recurrent neural network (IndRNN)-based SOH estimation model was used.
The deep learning-based data-driven technique is used to estimate SOH. Because of its ability to capture complicated non-linear properties of batteries by avoiding the gradient problem and allowing the neural network to learn long-term relationships among capacity degradations, the IndRNN has been used [
79,
82]. Shi et al. [
63] said in a battery management system, an online state of health (SOH) estimate is critical for lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, various measures linked to internal resistance have been offered as SOH estimate indicators.
Figure 7 shows the flow chart of State of Health and its methods. The reduction of temperature disturbances and the elimination of the state of charge (SOC) disturbances are considered. The suggested indicators and estimation approach were estimated with a maximum error of 2.301 %, demonstrating its dependability and practicality. The most common method for calculating SOH is to use the battery capacity. However, capacity estimate in EVs is challenging to accomplish online. This work proposes measurable SOH indicators from ECM based on statistical analysis [
88]. Xu et al. [
64] described the battery parameters and used current, charge depth, and charge frequency to determine charge behaviour and charge capacity. The K-Means clustering technique is used to investigate various charging habits and the findings demonstrate that there are clear distinctions between the various groups. The charge behaviour characteristics, of which the charge current has the most impact on the state of health of the battery, are connected to the attenuation rate of the vehicle’s lithium battery capacity. The frequency of charge is the second most critical element impacting battery health, and it gives a theoretical framework for us to investigate alternative charge habits and offer excellent charge behaviour suggestions [
89,
90].
Lin et al. [
65] estimated SOH without utilizing the whole battery profile, incremental capacity analysis can increase estimation efficiency. A robust cubic smoothing spline approach to generate an incremental capacity curve is used, which is superior to traditional filters that need trial-and-error window size tweaking. A robust cubic smoothing spline approach for obtaining the IC curve, with the key benefit of being able to identify the smoothing value via cross-validation rather than subjective trial and error parameter adjustment. The suggested technique estimated the SOH even without full charge or discharge data. Gabriel et al. [
66] said that in the 0 to 50 °C range, the discharge capacity of LiCoO2 (LCO) batteries charged at one temperature and discharged at another is investigated for the low and high status of health (SOH) batteries. A discharge capacity dependency on relative charge-discharge temperatures is discovered. The surface self-temperature of the battery is tested at varied charging and discharging currents in 0.2C to 2C C-rates, and the surface heat is practically constant with the charging C-rates. In the battery discharges, however, a considerable surface temperature rise is observed, which corresponded to the battery SOH dependency. The temperature at which LCO batteries are charged and discharged in the 0-50 °C range, as well as the battery’s SOH, affects their performance. When charging or discharging temperatures are loaded, the amount of charge stored or supplied decreases as well, and this decline is particularly pronounced at 0 °C. At any temperature, the coulombic efficiency of an L battery is always lower than that of an H battery. Diao et al. [
67] elaborate on the current maximum available energy (MAE) to the rated total energy is proposed and defined as the energy SOH for a battery pack. In comparison to the capacity and power of SOH, this technique is more suitable and accurate in reflecting the real status of the battery pack. The superiority of this strategy is demonstrated by comparison and study in several ways. The energy SOH model for a battery pack incorporates capacity and internal resistance inconsistencies. The data from LiCoO2 and LiFePO4 batteries are used to analyse the cases. It demonstrates that both deterioration and irregularity influence the battery pack’s SOHE [
84,
91].
Battery energy storage is a key enabling technology for electric vehicles and renewable energy sources, according to Moura et al. [
68]. Using parabolic PDEs and nonlinearly parameterized output functions, the state of health is estimated as a parameter to pinpoint the problem. The elements influencing the battery's life degradation are depicted in
Figure 8. The swapping identification strategy for unidentified parameters is applied to the diffusion partial differential equation (PDE). The availability of full-state measurements is a key premise in this investigation. By creating a signal-only parametric model, this assumption is relaxed. This makes it possible to create an adaptive observer that estimates states (SOC) and parameters (SOH) at the same time. We also wish to investigate the theoretical and practical performance of the state estimator/parameter identifier structure. Cacciato et al. [
69] stated to allow the exact construction of the control algorithms for Energy Storage Systems (ESS), detailed information on the battery pack’s SOC and SOH is required. A new method for estimating SOC and SOH has been proposed. It is based on the creation of a battery circuit model as well as a technique for adjusting model parameters. Accurate ESS modeling is critical because it helps power electronics systems to improve their control strategies. In the field of main electrochemical technologies, a unique approach for ESS state estimation has been devised. The core component of the technique is a PI-based observer system, in which the SOC and SOH values are calculated via an appropriate algorithm. Hatzell et al. [
70] stated the literature on Lithium-ion battery characterization, control, and optimization is reviewed in this work. It looks at the basic degrading mechanisms in cycled cells before highlighting the difficulties in managing them. This necessitates determining how batteries fail and building fundamental models of their failure that are control-oriented. Impedance spectroscopy is a powerful method for identifying battery health models, as well as for online health estimation, prognostics, and diagnostics. Health-conscious battery control is a very interesting study subject, especially if the community can get rid of the limitations imposed by “conventional” battery control systems such as CCCV charging/discharging and rigorous cell-to-cell balance. Lipu et al. [
71] observed electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries have a hard time predicting their health and remaining useful life. The SOH and RUL of the battery are analyzed using traditional procedures, model-based approaches, and algorithms. The construction of an adequate model for calculating SOC while taking into consideration different model disruptions and uncertainties must be investigated. A thermal management module should be implemented inside the BMS to decrease the impact of thermal runaway. Cuma et al. [
72] stated estimating methodologies help with battery management, vehicle energy management, and vehicle control by completing several duties. To estimate the capacities and instantaneous resistance that is the major indications of SOH. For lead-acid batteries Sample entropy (SE), Subspace parameter (SP), Equivalent circuit parameter (ECP) etc. methods are proposed with their percentage of error. For lithium-ion batteries, Genetic algorithm (GA), Model-based, Dynamic Impedance, Dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) etc. methods are employed with their accuracy. Qin et al. [
73] propounded an intelligent battery management system, state of health (SOH) prediction in Li-ion batteries is critical (BMS).The occurrence of capacity regeneration events, on the other hand, presents a significant barrier in precisely estimating the battery SOH. From the raw SOH time series of the present battery, the global deterioration of n trend and regeneration phenomena (defined by regeneration amplitude and regeneration cycle number) is derived. The present battery’s global deterioration trend and regeneration phenomena are prospected and then combined to produce overall SOH prediction values. The historical battery's regeneration threshold is calculated using particle swarm optimization (PSO).The global deterioration trend is forecasted using a Gaussian process (GP) model, while the regeneration amplitude and cycle number of each regeneration zone are forecasted using linear models. Yeon Lee et al. [
74] stated a lithium-ion battery’s state of health (SOH) is crucial in deciding how long it will last. Before developing a suitable SOH estimation model, consider the factors that cause battery deterioration. Multiple regression models with selected parameters are developed to account for the effects of deterioration. The reduction in battery capacity and increase in resistance are used as signs that the battery is getting older. Multiple regression analysis is used to examine the complicated impacts of factors on lithium-ion battery degeneration [
87].
Anselma et al. [
75] explained the fundamental problem in the design of hybrid electric cars is achieving a sufficient high-voltage battery lifespan while maintaining fuel efficiency. While there have been various battery state-of-health (SOH) sensitive control techniques for HEVs proposed in the literature, they have seldom been empirically verified. This work intends to demonstrate an optimum, multi-objective battery SOH sensitive off-line HEV control strategy based on dynamic programming (DP), which has been empirically tested in terms of battery lifetime prediction capabilities. Cells with present characteristics are aged for three distinct expected lifespan instances in an experimental campaign. By incorporating the influence of temperature and updating the empirical ageing characterization curve, the battery ageing model's predicted accuracy is increased [
85,
86]. Yang et al. [
76] analyse the existing characteristic parameters for defining battery SOH at the cell and pack levels. The factors used to define SOH, including capacity, impedance, and ageing-mechanism parameters, are utilized to categorize SOH estimating techniques. Limiting the SOH definition to battery capacity or impedance estimation makes it difficult to characterize the battery’s ageing status completely. An emphasis on pack-level SOH is also created in addition to the cell-level SOH definition. The capacity to distribute energy and cell-to-cell variances is taken into account when defining pack-level SOH. Internal deterioration types, data accessibility, and the aims of chosen SOH-related characteristics. The current SOH prognosis approaches mostly consisted of short-term state estimate and long-term RUL prediction, which judges’ battery retirement point and ignore the instructional value of the battery ageing process [
81]. M Dalal et al. [
77] stated the battery’s life can be estimated on dynamic properties using a lumped parameter battery model, including non-linear open-circuit voltage, current, temperature, cycle number, and time-dependent storage capacity. The remaining usable life (RUL) of the system was estimated using statistical estimations methods. With a particle filtering framework & sequential significance resampling approach to estimate the battery’s EOL and EOD for individual discharge cycles & the battery cycle life. With the help of developed methods (RUL) estimation can be done [
80]. Sarikurt et al. [
78] presented to estimate of the number of battery pulse-width the ECE 15 driving cycle. A new approach for obtaining the SOH of a battery using the cycle number is also shown. An analytical SOH estimate approach is provided in which the usable capacity of a battery depends on its cycle count. The usable capacity of a battery decreases when its cycle number increases [

2.4. Effect of Regenerative Braking on the Life of Battery:
Keil and Jossen [
92] prospected that a high charging current by using regenerative braking deteriorates the battery life. So, they conducted a cycle life study on the Li-ion battery by using different driving load profiles for different regenerative braking values.
The different regenerative braking conditions are applied to Li-ion cells at different temperatures and states of charge (SOCs). It is found that cells cycled at 25 °C provide a good compromise between calendar and cyclic aging. Further, on evaluating the battery ageing in EVs based on driving load profile, they revealed that calendar ageing diminishes as the temperature drops, and cycle ageing increases and becomes more sensitive to load profile changes. Cycling over 200,000 km demonstrated that regenerative braking extends the battery life by reducing the cycle depth.
Figure 9 represents the layout of the energy recovery due to integrated regenerative and neural network methods. This significantly reduces capacity fade and increases resistance. The evaluation of different levels of regenerative braking has shown that short-duration recharging times during braking do not enhance battery degradation for a typical driving load profile- even at low battery temperatures of 10° C. Higher degrees of regenerative braking inhibit degradation, particularly at high SOC and low temperature, which are prime conditions for lithium plating. The lower degradation is due to the battery’s reduced DOD when partially refilled by using shorter recharging periods during braking moments [
92]. The amount of charge refilled at the charging station appears to have a greater impact on capacity fade than the overall charge flow. As a result, an EV is benefitted from a high level of regenerative braking but only low recharging currents are used [
96].
Jingying et al. [
93] revealed that regenerative braking increases the temperature of the Li-ion battery. They proposed a control method subjected to braking safety regulation and adjusted the regenerative braking ratio by using a fuzzy controller. It is found that by modifying the charge current due to regenerative braking, the proposed control strategy suppresses the rise in the battery temperature. It is also observed that the real-time battery SOC and temperature, the fuzzy logic controller adjust the regenerative braking ratio. Carrilero et al. [
94] examined the above C/2 charging regimes. When more than 90% of the effective capacity can be recharged in 15 minutes or less over the course of the cell's life (more than 5000 cycles) without experiencing a significant loss in power capability, it is determined that the cell's overall performance is suitable for fast-charging. Asif et al. [
95] introduced an RBS used in HEV to give backup power in deceleration mode that made HEV drive longer but moreover also increased the battery life cycle by charging of ultra-capacitor. Without using a buck or boost system, the improved regenerative braking system has lower power losses between the BLDC motor and ESS. In RBS mode, energy is increased by using an induction motor in winding and the inverter's H-bridge switching approach to transfer it to ESS with the fewest possible losses. Through the fuzzy logic controller, pulse width modulation (PWM) is used to operate these switches. As a result, battery life and working time will both increase. Wu et al. [
97] presented a hierarchical control technique by considering battery aging. The up-level controller's control objectives are to increase energy recovery and decrease battery aging while ensuring vehicle braking safety in emergency braking mode. The low-level controller, which takes instructions from the up-level controller (EM), manages the pneumatic braking system and the electric motor. Maximum EM torque and battery charging power have been defined for the protection of the EM and battery. The real-time calculation performance is assessed using controller-in-the-loop testing and the control efficacy of the suggested method. For both control strategies, the braking distance, vehicle speed, wheel speed, and slip ratio are nearly identical (with or without battery aging consideration). When battery aging is taken into account, the EM motor is reduced in size considering EM torque. Long et al. [
98] analyzed the hybrid power supply system made up of ultracapacitors and batteries that can increase the EV’s one-time charging driving mileage and energy recovery efficiency. A design technique for H∞ [
27,
28] is proposed based on stability and dynamic responsiveness. The experimental results show that a vehicle can gain approx. 5.3% braking energy when utilizing the suggested energy-management scheme and the recommended H∞ than when using a regular PID controller under the same conditions. To protect the battery from damage brought on by an excessive charging current during regenerative braking, Cao et al. [
99] suggest a control strategy that uses the charging current as a control object. The weighted mixed-sensitivity issue is used to model the design of regenerative braking controllers. In order to guarantee the robustness of the closed-loop system in the presence of uncertainties, such as parameter perturbation during the period and unidentified model dynamics, the H robust controller for regenerative braking is created together with a DC-DC converter. It also minimizes the effect of disturbance, battery voltage variation, state of the road, and driving profile of the vehicle. In terms of steady-state tracking error, response speed and energy recovery the experimental results revealed that the H∞ robust controller outperforms the typical PI controller.
To improve the braking efficiency and regenerative energy of front-drive electric vehicles (EVs) powered by switched reluctance motors (SRM), Zhu et al. [
100] proposed a regenerative braking control approach based on multi-objective optimisation of the switched reluctance generator (SRG) drive system. The partition brake force distribution approach is developed while simultaneously taking safety and braking energy into account. The SRG drive system model is constructed based on low and high-speed scenarios. The mechanic braking system, SRG drive system model, and partition braking force distribution system were all included in the braking system model of a front-drive vehicle propelled by a four-phase 8/6 SRM. Regenerative braking was then proposed as a control strategy to enhance braking efficiency and regenerative energy of the vehicle based on multi-objective optimisation of the SRG drive system, with output, generated power, torque smoothness, and current smoothness selected as optimisation objectives to enhance driving range, braking comfort, and battery lifetime, respectively. Naseri et al. [
101] introduced a Hybrid Energy Storage System, and the complementary qualities of batteries and ultracapacitors may be efficiently employed (HESS). The usage of the HESS in electric cars (EVs) has a number of advantages, including quicker acceleration, more effective regenerative braking, and improved battery safety. An innovative RBS based on the utilisation of HESS is suggested for EVs with BLDC motors. During regenerative braking and/or energy regeneration, the ultracapacitor utilises the appropriate switching pattern of the inverter to store the vehicle's kinetic energy. Power electronics interfaces are therefore no longer necessary. The MLP-ANN controller is used to control how much braking power is applied to the front and rear wheels of the EV. Furthermore, the PI controller is employed to control the PWM duty cycle. Dixon et al. [
102] stated through the interplay of the other aforementioned factors, such as the vehicle speed and the state of charge of the battery, the capacitor voltage is regulated by the IGBT PWM (insulated-gate bipolar transistor) technique used in the Buck-Boost Converter. For an electric car, a simulated ultracapacitor bank was constructed. The purpose of this device is to allow the vehicle to accelerate and decelerate more quickly with less energy loss and main battery pack degradation. An IGBT Buck-Boost converter controlled the system by monitoring the battery voltage, SOC, automobile speed, instantaneous currents at both terminals (load and ultracapacitor), and the ultracapacitor’s actual voltage. Carteret et al. [
103] stated to hybridize battery EVs and reduce peak battery currents, ultracapacitors can be employed. Extending the life of a battery has the potential to enhance total propulsion efficiency, increase range, and reduce life cycle costs. They constructed a programmable control strategy that can be altered to satisfy various objectives. When employed in a hybrid vehicle system, ultracapacitors may provide high burst power even when the battery capacity is low due to the low SOC, allowing the vehicle to keep its acceleration performance. Ultracapacitors can be employed in an EV hybrid battery/ultracapacitor system. Extending the life of the battery can improve total propulsion efficiency, boost range, and lower life cycle costs.
