  • Patent number: 11921163
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for assessing battery states of batteries. According to one embodiment, raw sensor data are collected from a battery module. The battery module includes multiple battery cells. Input battery features are extracted from the raw sensor data collected from the battery module. The input battery features are used to update node states of a GNN. The GNN include multiple GNN nodes each of which representing a respective battery cell in the multiple battery cells. Estimation of one or more battery state of health (SoH) indicators is generated based at least in part on individual output states of individual GNN nodes in the multiple GNN nodes. The individual output states of individual GNN nodes in the multiple GNN nodes are determined based at least in part on the updated node states of the GNN.

  • Publication number: 20230401361
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes obtaining a set of graphs for a set of material structures. Each graph of the set of graphs is associated with a material structure of the set of material structures. The method also includes determining first sets of stress values and first sets of strain values for the set of graphs based on a neural network. The method further includes obtaining second sets of stress value and second sets of strain values for a subset of the set of material structures. The method further includes updating the neural network based on the first sets of stress values, the first sets of strain values, the second sets of stress values, and the second sets of strain values.

  • Patent number: 11385292
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system for batter material screening is disclosed. First, microstructure generation parameters for a plurality of microstructures are received, where the microstructure generation parameters include microstructure characteristics. Microstructure statistics are generated using a first artificial intelligence (“AI”) model, where the received microstructure generation parameters are inputs for the first AI model. Microstructure properties are predicted using a second AI model for the microstructures based on the generated microstructure statistics, the received microstructure generation parameters, and battery cell characteristics. It is determined whether at least one of the microstructures is within a predefined energy profile range based on the predicted microstructure properties.
