Accurate battery modeling is essential for the state-of-charge (SOC) estimation of electric vehicles, especially when vehicles are operated in dynamic processes. Temperature is a significant factor for battery characteristics, especially for the hysteresis phenomenon. Lack of existing literatures on the consideration of temperature influence in hysteresis voltage can result in errors in SOC estimation. Therefore, this study gives an insight to the equivalent circuit modeling, considering the hysteresis and temperature effects. A modified one-state hysteresis equivalent circuit model was proposed for battery modeling. The characterization of hysteresis voltage versus SOC at various temperatures was acquired by experimental tests to form a static look-up table. In addition, a strong tracking filter (STF) was applied for SOC estimation. Numerical simulations and experimental tests were performed in commercial 18650 type Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 battery. The results were systematically compared with extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The results of comparison showed the following: (1) the modified model has more voltage tracking capability than the original model; and (2) the modified model with STF algorithm has better accuracy, robustness against initial SOC error, voltage measurement drift, and convergence behavior than EKF and UKF.

Abstract State-of-charge (SOC) estimation is essential in the energy management of electric vehicles. In the context of SOC estimation, a dual-filter based on the equivalent circuit model represents an important research direction. The trigger for parameter filter in a dual filter has a significant influence on the algorithm, despite which it has been studied scarcely. The present paper, therefore, discusses the types and characteristics of triggers reported in the literature and proposes a novel trigger mechanism for improving the accuracy and robustness of SOC estimation. The proposed mechanism is based on an open-loop model, which determines whether to trigger the parameter filter based on the model voltage error. In the present work, particle filter (PF) is used as the state filter and Kalman filter (KF) as the parameter filter. This dual filter is used as a carrier to compare the proposed trigger with three other triggers and single filter algorithms, including PF and unscented Kalman filter (UKF). According to the results, under different dynamic cycles, initial SOC values, and temperatures, the root-mean-square error of the SOC estimated using the proposed algorithm is at least 34.07% lower than the value estimated using other approaches. In terms of computation time, the value is 4.67%. Therefore, the superiority of the proposed mechanism is demonstrated.

Lithium-bismuth liquid metal batteries have much potential for stationary energy storage applications, with characteristics such as a large capacity, high energy density, low cost, long life-span and an ability for high current charge and discharge. However, there are no publications on battery management systems or state-of-charge (SoC) estimation methods, designed specifically for these devices. In this paper, we introduce the properties of lithium-bismuth liquid metal batteries. In analyzing the difficulties of traditional SoC estimation techniques for these devices, we establish an equivalent circuit network model of a battery and evaluate three SoC estimation algorithms (the extended Kalman filter, the unscented Kalman filter and the particle filter), using constant current discharge, pulse discharge and hybrid pulse (containing charging and discharging processes) profiles. The results of experiments performed using the equivalent circuit battery model show that the unscented Kalman filter gives the most robust and accurate performance, with the least convergence time and an acceptable computation time, especially in hybrid pulse current tests. The time spent on one estimation with the three algorithms are 0.26 ms, 0.5 ms and 1.5 ms.

Due to its accuracy, simplicity, and other advantages, the Kalman filter method is one of the common algorithms to estimate the state-of-charge (SOC) of batteries. However, this method still has its shortcomings. The Kalman filter method is an algorithm designed for linear systems and requires precise mathematical models. Lithium-ion batteries are not linear systems, so the establishment of the battery equivalent circuit model (ECM) is necessary for SOC estimation. In this paper, an adaptive Kalman filter method and the battery Thevenin equivalent circuit are combined to estimate the SOC of an electric vehicle power battery dynamically. Firstly, the equivalent circuit model is studied, and the battery model suitable for SOC estimation is established. Then, the parameters of the corresponding battery charge and the discharge experimental detection model are designed. Finally, the adaptive Kalman filter method is applied to the model in the unknown interference noise environment and is also adopted to estimate the SOC of the battery online. The simulation results show that the proposed method can correct the SOC estimation error caused by the model error in real time. The estimation accuracy of the proposed method is higher than that of the Kalman filter method. The adaptive Kalman filter method also has a correction effect on the initial value error, which is suitable for online SOC estimation of power batteries. The experiment under the BBDST (Beijing Bus Dynamic Stress Test) working condition fully proves that the proposed SOC estimation algorithm can hold the satisfactory accuracy even in complex situations.

State of charge (SOC) estimation is generally acknowledged to be one of the most important functions of the battery management system (BMS) and is thus widely studied in academia and industry. Based on an accurate SOC estimation, the BMS can optimize energy efficiency and protect the battery from being over-charged or over-discharged. The accurate online estimation of the SOC is studied in this paper. First, it is proved that the second-order resistance capacitance (RC) model is the most suitable equivalent circuit model compared with the Thevenin and multi-order models. The second-order RC equivalent circuit model is established, and the model parameters are identified. Second, the reasonable optimization of model parameters is studied, and a reasonable optimization method is proposed to improve the accuracy of SOC estimation. Finally, the SOC is estimated online based on the adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) with optimized model parameters, and the results are compared with the results of an estimation based on pre-optimization model parameters. Simulation experiments show that, without affecting the convergence of the initial error of the AUKF, the model after parameter optimization has a higher online SOC estimation accuracy.

Filtering based state of charge (SOC) estimation with an equivalent circuit model is commonly extended to Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for electric vehicle (EV) or similar energy storage applications. During the last several decades, different implementations of online parameter identification such as Kalman filters have been presented in literature. However, if the system is a moving EV during rapid acceleration or regenerative braking or when using heating or air conditioning, most of the existing works suffer from poor prediction of state and state estimation error covariance, leading to the problem of accuracy degeneracy of the algorithm. On this account, this paper presents a particle filter-based hybrid filtering method particularly for SOC estimation of Li-ion cells in EVs. A sampling importance resampling particle filter is used in combination with a standard Kalman filter and an unscented Kalman filter as a proposal distribution for the particle filter to be made much faster and more accurate. Test results show that the error on the state estimate is less than 0.8% despite additive current measurement noise with 0.05 A deviation.

In order to improve the estimation accuracy of the battery state of charge (SOC) based on the equivalent circuit model, a lithium-ion battery SOC estimation method based on adaptive forgetting factor least squares and unscented Kalman filtering is proposed. The Thevenin equivalent circuit model of the battery is established. Through the simulated annealing optimization algorithm, the forgetting factor is adaptively changed in real-time according to the model demand, and the SOC estimation is realized by combining the least-squares online identification of the adaptive forgetting factor and the unscented Kalman filter. The results show that the terminal voltage error identified by the adaptive forgetting factor least-squares online identification is extremely small; that is, the model parameter identification accuracy is high, and the joint algorithm with the unscented Kalman filter can also achieve a high-precision estimation of SOC.

The state of charge (SOC) plays an important role in battery management systems (BMS). However, SOC cannot be measured directly and an accurate state estimation is difficult to obtain due to the nonlinear battery characteristics. In this paper, a method of SOC estimation with parameter updating by using the dual square root cubature Kalman filter (DSRCKF) is proposed. The proposed method has been validated experimentally and the results are compared with dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) and dual square root unscented Kalman filter (DSRUKF) methods. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method has the most balance performance among them in terms of the SOC estimation accuracy, execution time, and convergence rate.
