Gaussian process (GP) models have been used in a wide range of battery applications, in which different kernels were manually selected with considerable expertise. However, to capture complex relationships in the ever-growing amount of real-world data, selecting a suitable kernel for the GP model in battery applications is increasingly challenging. In this work, we first review existing GP kernels used in battery applications and then extend an automatic kernel search method with a new base kernel and model selection criteria. The GP models with composite kernels outperform the baseline kernel in two numerical examples of battery applications, i.e., battery capacity estimation and residual load prediction. Particularly, the results indicate that the Bayesian Information Criterion may be the best model selection criterion as it achieves a good trade-off between kernel performance and computational complexity. This work should, therefore, be of value to practitioners wishing to automate their kernel search process in battery applications.
