The remaining discharge energy prediction of the battery pack is an important function of a battery management system. One of the key factors contributing to the inaccuracy of battery pack remaining discharge energy prediction is the inconsistency of the state and model parameters. For a batch of lithium-ion batteries with nickel cobalt aluminum oxide cathode material, after analyzing the characteristics of battery model parameter inconsistency, a “specific and difference” model considering state of charge and R0 inconsistency is established. The dual time-scale dual extended Kalman filter algorithm is proposed to estimate the state of charge and R0 of each cell in the battery pack, and the remaining discharge energy prediction algorithm of the battery pack is established. The effectiveness of the state estimation and remaining discharge energy prediction algorithm is verified. The results show that the state of charge estimation error of each cell is less than 1%, and the remaining discharge energy prediction error of the battery pack is less than 1% over the entire discharge cycle. The main reason which causes the difference between the “specific and difference” and “mean and difference” models is the nonlinearity of the battery’s state of charge - open circuit voltage curve. When the nonlinearity is serious, the “specific and difference” model has higher precision.

Recent developments in lithium-ion (Li-ion) storage technology have enabled a revolution in the automotive industry. Fully electric vehicles (EVs) operate under the most diverse combination of driving and environmental conditions affecting the autonomy range. In other words, an equal state-of-charge (SOC) on two same model EV does not mean the same traveling distance since the conditions such as the state-of-health (SOH) of the battery, type of driver and even the type of route will influence the EV performance. Typically, SOC estimation algorithms are proposed and validated under controlled laboratory conditions. However, when real conditions are present, it is necessary to incorporate new tools capable of handling the diverse variability present in all the conditions. For instance, the topography of the route influences the current that the battery pack delivers, and the performance on the same route can be affected by the SOH. One of the main concerns for EV owners is that once a battery pack is installed, it becomes almost impossible to perform laboratory tests under controlled conditions. This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate the SOC by extending an existing SOC model (obtained in laboratory conditions) with the novelty of the assistance of Particle-Swarm-Optimization (PSO) to estimate the model parameters using real EV driving data. The data was obtained by a real-driving experiment, which consists on driving the EV in a complete discharge cycle on a highway. During this experiment, the initial SOC was at 100\%, and the idea was to discharge the battery pack driving through a highway where the driving conditions are almost uniform making it possible to characterize the SOC curve. Then, PSO is used to estimate the model parameters, and afterwards the model is validated in different types of routes. The obtained results show that the proposed approach can estimate the SOC satisfactorily. In this regard, this type of real-driving experiment can be performed by any driver, and by combining the particular results with the proposed approach, the users can personalize the SOC estimation model to their vehicles, and even more, create their own knowledge base of their EV performance through time. Therefore, the real-driving experiment can be replicated when needed to update the model parameters, thus allowing a better understanding of the actual SOH of the battery pack. Furthermore, by combining the obtained model with the elevation profile of a given route, the user can assess where to stop in case that a recharge is necessary.

The main goal of a battery management system (BMS) is to estimate parameters descriptive of the battery pack operating conditions in real-time. One of the most critical aspects of BMS systems is estimating the battery's state of charge (SOC). However, in the case of a lithium-ion battery, it is not easy to provide an accurate estimate of the state of charge. In the present paper we propose a mechanism based on an extended kalman filter (EKF) to improve the state-of-charge estimation accuracy on lithium-ion cells. The paper covers the cell modeling and the system parameters identification requirements, the experimental tests, and results analysis. We first established a mathematical model representing the dynamics of a cell. We adopted a model that comprehends terms that describe the dynamic parameters like SOC, open-circuit voltage, transfer resistance, ohmic loss, diffusion capacitance, and resistance. Then, we performed the appropriate battery discharge tests to identify the parameters of the model. Finally, the EKF filter applied to the cell test data has shown high precision in SOC estimation, even in a noisy system.

The state of charge (SOC) estimation is one of the most important features in battery management system (BMS) for electric vehicles (EVs). In this article, a novel equivalent-circuit model (ECM) with an extra noise sequence is proposed to reduce the adverse effect of model error. Model parameters identification method with variable forgetting factor recursive extended least squares (VFFRELS), which combines a constructed incremental autoregressive and moving average (IARMA) model with differential measurement variables, is presented to obtain the ECM parameters. The independent open circuit voltage (OCV) estimator with error compensation factors is designed to reduce the OCV error of OCV fitting model. Based on the IARMA battery model analysis and the parameters identification, an SOC estimator by adaptive H-infinity filter (AHIF) is formulated. The adaptive strategy of the AHIF improves the numerical stability and robust performance by synchronous adjusting noise covariance and restricted factor. The results of experiment and simulation have verified that the proposed approach has superior advantage of parameters identification and SOC estimation to other estimation methods.

An accurate estimate of the state of charge, which describes the remaining percentage of a battery’s capacity, has been an important and ever existing problem since the invention of the electrochemical cell. State of charge estimation is one of the important function of a battery management system which ensures the safe, efficient and reliable operation of a battery. In this paper, the coulomb counting method is implemented for the estimation of the state of charge of lithium-ion battery. The hardware comprises an Arduino based platform for control and data processing, and a 16-bit analog to digital converter for current and voltage measurement. The embedded algorithm initializes with a self-calibration phase, during which the battery capacity, coulombic efficiency and initial state of charge are evaluated. The initial state of charge is determined at the fully charged state (100% state of charge) or the fully discharged state (0% state of charge). The cumulative error of this method was addressed by routine recalibration of the capacity, coulombic efficiency and state of charge at the fully-charged and fully-discharged states. The algorithm was validated by charging/discharging a lithium-ion battery through fifty complete cycles and evaluating the error in the estimated state of charge. The result shows a mean absolute error of 0.35% in the estimated state of charge during the test. Further analysis, considering prolonged battery operation without parameters recalibration, suggests that error in the coulombic efficiency term contributes the most to the increasing error in the estimated state of charge with each cycle.

As state of charge is one important variable to monitor the later battery management system, and as traditional Kalman filter can be used to estimate the state of charge for Lithium-ion battery on basis of probability distribution on external noise. To relax this strict assumption on external noise, set membership strategy is proposed to achieve our goal in case of unknown but bounded noise. External noise with unknown but bounded is more realistic than white noise. After equivalent circuit model is used to describe the Lithium-ion battery charging and discharging properties, one state space equation is constructed to regard state of charge as its state variable. Based on state space model about state of charge, two kinds of set membership strategies are put forth to achieve the state estimation, which corresponds to state of charge estimation. Due to external noise is bounded, i.e. external noise is in a set, we construct interval and ellipsoid estimation for state estimation respectively in case of external noise is assumed in an interval or ellipsoid. Then midpoint of interval or center of the ellipsoid are chosen as the final value for state of charge estimation. Finally, one simulation example confirms our theoretical results.

Abstract The state of charge (SoC) of the battery is a typical characterization of the operating state of the battery and criterion for the battery management system (BMS) control strategy, which must be evaluated precisely. The establishment of an accurate algorithm of SoC estimation is of great significance for BMS, which can help the driver judge the endurance mileage of electric vehicle (EV) correctly. In this paper, a second-order resistor-capacity (RC) equivalent circuit model is selected to characterize the electrical characteristics based on the electrochemical model of the LiFePO4/graphene (LFP/G) hybrid cathode lithium-ion battery. Moreover, seven open circuit voltage (OCV) models are compared and the best one of them is used to simulate the dynamic characteristics of the battery. It is worth mentioning that an improved test method is proposed, which is combined with least square for parameters identification. In addition, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is selected to estimate the SoC during the charging and discharging processes. The simulation results show that the EKF algorithm has the higher accuracy and rapidity than the KF algorithm.

In this paper, an improved method for estimating the state of charge (SOC) of lithium-ion batteries is proposed, which is developed from the particle filter (PF). An improved genetic particle filter (GPF), owing to the advantages of the PF and genetic algorithm, is proposed to overcome the disadvantage of the traditional particle filter: lacking the diversity of particles. Firstly, the relationship between SOC and open-circuit voltage (OCV) is identified on the low-current OCV test. Secondly, a first-order resistor and capacitance (RC) model is established, then, the least-squares algorithm is used to identify the model parameters via the incremental current test. Thirdly, GPF and the improved GPF (IGPF) are proposed to solve the problems of the PF. The method based on the IGPF is proposed to estimate the state of power (SOP). Finally, IGPF, GPF, and PF are employed to estimate the SOC on the federal urban driving schedule (FUDS). The results show that compared with traditional PF, the errors of the IGPF are 20% lower, and compared with GPF, the maximum error of the IGPF has declined 1.6% SOC. The SOC that is estimated by the IGPF is applied to estimate the SOP for battery, considering the restrictions from the peak SOC, the voltage, and the instruction manual. The result shows that the method based on the IGPF can successfully estimate SOP.

In order to improve the estimation accuracy of the state of charge (SOC) of electric vehicle power batteries, a dual Kalman filter method based on the online identification of model parameters is proposed to estimate the state of charge in lithium-ion batteries. Here, we build the first-order equivalent circuit model of lithium-ion batteries and derive its online identification model based on extended Kalman (EKF). Considering that the noise value in the EKF algorithm is difficult to select through experiments to achieve the best filtering effect, this paper combines an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm (IPSO) with EKF to realize online model parameter identification. At the same time, the EKF filtering method derived from the state space equation is also used in SOC estimation. It constitutes a dual Kalman filter method for online identification of model parameters and SOC estimation. The experimental and simulation results show that the IPSO–EKF algorithm can adaptively adjust the noise value according to the complex operating conditions of electric vehicles. Compared with the EKF algorithm, our algorithm can identify battery model parameters more accurately. The dual Kalman filter method composed of the IPSO–EKF algorithm and EKF applied to SOC estimation achieved a higher accuracy in the final algorithm verification.
