Transformer-Based Deep Learning Models for State of Charge and State of Health Estimation of Li-Ion Batteries: A Survey Study

The global transportation system’s need for electrification is driving research efforts to overcome the drawbacks of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The accurate and reliable estimation of the states of charge (SOC) and health (SOH) of Li-Ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for the widespread adoption of BEVs. Transformers, cutting-edge deep learning (DL) models, are demonstrating promising capabilities in addressing various sequence-processing problems. This manuscript presents a thorough survey study of previous research papers that introduced modifications in the development of Transformer-based architectures for the SOC and SOH estimation of LIBs. This study also highlights approximately 15 different real-world datasets that have been utilized for training and testing these models. A comparison is made between the architectures, addressing each state using the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) metrics.
