[0002] Wide application of lithium-ion batteries: Lithium-ion batteries have advantages such as high energy density, no radiation, low self-discharge, and low memory effect. As the battery energy density increases and the charging speed increases, the safety issues of lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly prominent. Studies have shown that when batteries are subjected to abuse conditions, they may suffer safety problems such as thermal runaway. Thermal runaway is characterized by the generation of intense heat inside the battery, and may release high-temperature combustible fumes, releasing a large amount of energy through a chain reaction of chemical components. In a battery module, once a battery has thermal runaway, the heat will quickly spread to adjacent batteries, causing the thermal runaway to spread, which may lead to more serious safety accidents.
[0003] If you rely on a single monitoring method, such as monitoring only through temperature sensors or gas sensors, you may not be able to fully capture the complex changes in the battery compartment. This limitation will lead to inaccurate or delayed identification of thermal runaway risks, making it impossible to take effective prevention and control measures in time before a thermal runaway event occurs. This inaccuracy not only increases the risk of accidents in the battery system, but may also affect the operation and maintenance efficiency of the entire system, because false warnings or missed reports will lead to unnecessary downtime, maintenance or misoperation.

The extended thermal runaway feature data record library of the target battery compartment is loaded. This extended library contains more scenarios and more types of thermal runaway data, which is used to enhance the generalization ability of the model. The extended thermal runaway feature data record library is also time-sequentially processed to obtain a multi-dimensional extended thermal runaway feature record sequence. The Markov chain is supervised and trained using the multi-dimensional extended thermal runaway feature record sequence. The Markov chain is a random process in which the future state depends only on the current state. This model is suitable for describing phenomena with time-series dependence such as thermal runaway. Through supervised training, an initial thermal runaway propagation model is obtained. This model can predict the future thermal runaway state based on the current state. The initial thermal runaway propagation model is incrementally learned using the multi-dimensional thermal runaway feature record sequence. Incremental learning allows the model to continuously learn and improve as it continuously receives new data without having to retrain the entire model. Through incremental learning, the model can gradually adapt to the unique thermal runaway characteristics of the target battery compartment, improving the accuracy and reliability of the prediction. After incremental learning, the final thermal runaway propagation model is generated.
