- The explosive growth of electric vehicles (EVs) calls forth the need for smart battery management systems that can perform health monitoring and predictive diagnostics in real-time. The conventional battery modeling methods mostly do not cover the complicated, dynamic behaviors coming from different usage patterns. The study outlines a structure that would use Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based AI agent as a part of the Battery Electrical Analogy (BEA) simulation platform. With the help of the AI agent, different health parameters such as State of Health (SOH), State of Charge (SOC), and the signs of early thermal runaway can be predicted in real-time. The suggested design takes advantage of the simulation-based approach to have the agent learn and utilizes a decentralized cloud architecture suitable for scaling and reducing the response time. The RL agent performs an essential role in the process by tagging along with the continuous learning and the adjustment of the battery conditions, but beyond that, it is able to aid in deciding and prevent faults. This investigation aims to set a stage for an adaptable, data-driven battery control system in the realm of connected and self-driving EVs, by fiercely defending the concepts of modular openness, edge deploy ability, and critical safety insights.
