Latest Publication: Physics-Informed Temperature Prediction of Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Decomposition-Enhanced LSTM and BiLSTM Models

This study presents a physics-informed, data-driven framework for accurate lithium-ion battery (LIB) temperature prediction, critical for safety, longevity, and performance in electric vehicles. By decomposing temperature signals into trend, seasonal, and residual components and feeding them into sequential deep learning models, the framework captures both forward and backward thermal dynamics. The Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) achieved the best performance (RMSE = 0.018 °C), significantly outperforming conventional LSTM and classical regressors like CatBoost. This hybrid approach enables real-time thermal monitoring, predictive cooling, and proactive battery management, providing a robust foundation for next-generation LIB thermal-management systems.

Latest Publication: Research and Design of a Single-Switch Wireless Power Transfer System with Misalignment-Tolerant Characteristics

This paper introduces a single-switch wireless power transfer (WPT) system designed to maintain stable voltage and power output despite coil misalignment. Combining LCC-S and S-S compensation networks in a hybrid topology and using a grid-type flat spiral (GFSP) coil, the system achieves high misalignment tolerance along the X-axis. Experiments on a 50 W prototype confirm resonance maintenance, zero-voltage switching (ZVS), and minimal fluctuations in voltage (

To address the issue that the output voltage and power of medium- and low-power wireless power transfer (WPT) systems cannot remain constant under coil misalignment, this paper proposes a single-switch WPT system with misalignment-tolerant characteristics.
