Show moreThe object of the herein thesis work document is to develop a functional predictive model, able to predict the combustion of a US18650 Sony Lithium-Ion cell given its current and previous states. In order to build the model, a realistic electro-thermal model of the cell under study is developed in Matlab Simulink, being used to recreate the cell's behavior under a set of real operating conditions. The data generated by the electro-thermal model is used to train a recurrent neural network, which returns the chance of future combustion of the US18650 Sony Lithium-Ion cell. Independently obtained data is used to test and validate the developed recurrent neural network using advanced metrics. Show less
