BatteryMetrix

What would a battery digital twin look like if prediction, explanation, security, and human use were designed together?

BatteryMetrix paper and public repository will be released soon

Why I built it

How can a battery digital twin remain accurate under changing operating conditions while explaining its predictions and protecting lifecycle records?

BatteryMetrix was the crux of my PhD research. It treats a battery twin as more than a forecasting model. The framework connects electrochemical and thermal knowledge, physics-informed learning, state estimation, explanation, secure ownership, and immersive interaction.

The system estimates State of Charge, State of Health, and Remaining Useful Life, then translates those predictions into evidence a user can inspect through SHAP, LIME, surrogate models, and the BAT-GPT conversational assistant.

The monitoring interface combines State of Charge, State of Health, Remaining Useful Life, SHAP and LIME evidence, asset ownership, and BAT-GPT assistance.

How the system works

01

Physics-informed prediction

TriPhiNet combines three physics-informed learning paths, positional encoding, residual connections, and electrochemical constraints for robust multi-state estimation.

02

Explanations for decisions

SHAP, LIME, and surrogate models expose the measurements and operating conditions influencing State of Charge and State of Health predictions.

03

Secure, user-facing twin

The web and Unreal Engine interfaces connect predictive monitoring with NFT-based ownership, blockchain lifecycle records, and BAT-GPT explanations.

What this work contributes

From a research question to an inspectable system.

  • A user-centric architecture spanning prediction, explanation, security, and visualization.
  • TriPhiNet, a physics-informed model for battery State of Charge, State of Health, and Remaining Useful Life.
  • BAT-GPT for conversational access to digital-twin diagnostics and maintenance guidance.
  • A secure ownership and lifecycle layer using NFTs and blockchain concepts.
  • Validation across electric-vehicle and energy-storage operating scenarios.

How I read the results

What the evidence means

BatteryMetrix grew from a gap I repeatedly encountered during the PhD: accurate state estimates alone do not create a trustworthy battery-management system. Engineers and asset owners also need to understand why a prediction changed, trace the data and lifecycle record behind it, and move between numerical diagnostics and an intuitive representation of the battery twin.

Current scope

What this study validates

The dissertation establishes the integrated framework and validates its predictive and interaction components. A dedicated BatteryMetrix paper and public repository are in preparation and will be linked here when released.
