• Estimated battery SOH using CNN model based on the raw data. • A high tolerance to the partial charging condition. • Introduced transfer learning method to reduce the offline training data. • Satisfied generality to different types of batteries. State of health (SOH) estimation is essential to the health diagnostic of lithium-ion battery. The data-driven approach with charging feature extraction is promising for online SOH estimation and has been widely explored over years. However, their deployment can be barriered by the lack of complete charging data in real-world applications. Motivated by this, this paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based SOH estimator using the transient phase between constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) charging, which is easily obtained in real-world charging scenarios. Specifically, a convolutional neural network (CNN) model is proposed to explain the relationship between the charging data and the SOH. Following this endeavor, the transfer learning is exploited for model mitigation and SOH estimation on different battery types, relying on much reduced amount of data for efficient CNN model re-training. The validation experiments are conducted based on the aging data obtained on LiNiCoAlO 2 (NCA) and LiCoO 2 (LCO) cells. Results suggest that the proposed method realizes accurate SOH estimation requiring only a short segment from the CC-CV transient phase, so that can meet a broad range of real-world charging scenarios. Moreover, the efficient model transfer promises expected performance with different battery types. The short version of the paper was presented at ICAE2021, Nov 29 - Dec 5, 2021.

• Electricity, the most direct and effective use of RES, is in center of energy transition. • An interdisciplinary procedure suitable for the planning of RES is presented. • Key points and procedures for the assessment of large-scale RES installation is presented. • Simulation on Eygiption case shows the technical and economical viability. Due to the environmental impacts brought by current energy schemes, the energy transition, a new paradigm shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, has been widely accepted and is being realized through collective international, regional, and local efforts. Electricity, as the most direct and effective use of renewable energy sources (RES), plays a key role in the energy transition. In this paper, we first discuss a viable pathway to energy transition through the electricity triangle, highlighting the role of RES in electricity generation. Further, we propose methodologies for the planning of wind and solar PV, as well as how to address their uncertainty in generation expansion problems. Finally, by using a web-based tool, "RES-PLAT" 1 1 https://res-plat.est.polito.it. , we demonstrate the scheme in a case study in Egypt, which evaluates the impacts and benefits of a large-scale RES expansion. 2 2 The short version of the paper was presented at Applied Energy Symposium: MIT A+ B, August 13–14, Boston.
