Summary: | Fault diagnosis accuracy in lithium-ion battery-based energy storage systems is significantly constrained by the limited availability of fault-specific datasets. This study addresses this critical issue by proposing a diffusion-based data augmentation methodology tailored explicitly for battery fault diagnosis scenarios. The proposed conditional diffusion model leverages transfer learning and attention-enhanced fine-tuning strategies to generate high-quality synthetic fault data, ensuring targeted representation of rare fault conditions. By integrating condition-aware sampling strategies, the approach effectively mitigates mode collapse issues frequently encountered in adversarial generative methods, thus substantially enriching the diversity and quality of fault representations. Comprehensive evaluation using statistical similarity measures and downstream classification tasks demonstrates notable improvements. After the integration of attention mechanisms, the Pearson correlation coefficient between the synthetic and real samples increases from 0.29 to 0.91. In downstream diagnostic tasks, models trained on augmented datasets exhibit substantial gains in regards to the recall and F1-score, which increase from near-zero levels to values exceeding 0.91 for subtle overcharge and overdischarge faults. These results confirm the effectiveness and practical utility of the proposed augmentation approach in enhancing diagnostic performance under data-scarce conditions. |
