Abstract A model of the friction characteristics of carbon brakes is proposed to aid in the understanding of the causes of brake vibration. The model parameters are determined by a genetic algorithm in an attempt to identify differences in friction properties between brake applications during which vibration occurs and those during which there is no vibration. The model computes the brake torque as a function of wheelspeed, brake pressure, and the carbon surface temperature. The surface temperature is computed using a five node temperature model. The genetic algorithm chooses the model parameters to minimize the error between the model output and the torque measured during a dynamometer test. The basics of genetic algorithms and results of the model parameter identification process are presented.

According to the lack of the part of the equipment design parameters of a certain type of ship power systems, the algorithm of recursive least squares for model parameter identification is studied. The mathematical model of the propulsion motor is established. The model parameters are calculated and simulated based on parameter identification method of recursive least squares. The simulation results show that a more precise mathematical model can be simple and easily obtained by using of the method.

Dynamics modeling of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is an essential step for design and evaluation of an UAV system. Many advanced control strategies for nonlinear dynamical or robotic systems which are applicable to UAVs depend upon known dynamics models. The accuracy of a model depends not only on the mathematical formulae or computational algorithm of the model but also on the values of model parameters. Many model parameters are very difficult to measure for a given UAV. This paper presents the results of a simulation based study of an in-flight model parameter identification method. Assuming the motion state of a flying UAV is directly or indirectly measureable, the method can identify the unknown inertia parameters of the UAV. Using the recursive least-square technique, the method is capable of updating the model parameters of the UAV while the vehicle is in flight. A scheme of estimating an upper bound of the identification error in terms of the input data errors (or sensor errors) is also discussed.

Battery state estimation (BSE) is one of the most important design aspects of an electrified propulsion system. It includes important functions such as state-of-charge estimation which is essentially for the energy management system. A successful and practical approach to battery state estimation is via real time battery model parameter identification. In this approach, a low-order control-oriented model is used to approximate the battery dynamics. Then a recursive least squares is used to identify the model parameters in real time. Despite its good properties, this approach can fail to identify the optimal model parameters if the underlying system contains time constants that are very far apart in terms of time-scale. Unfortunately this is the case for typical lithium-ion batteries especially at lower temperatures. In this paper, a modified battery model parameter identification method is proposed where the slower and faster battery dynamics are identified separately. The battery impedance information is used to guide how to separate the slower and faster dynamics, though not used specifically in the identification algorithm. This modified algorithm is still based on least squares and can be implemented in real time using recursive least squares. Laboratory data is used to demonstrate the validity of this method.

The dynamic model parameter identification is important for unmanned aerial vehicle modeling and control. The unmanned aerial vehicle model parameters are usually identified through wind tunnel experiments, which are complex. In this paper, a model parameter identification method is proposed using the flight data for quadrotors. The parameters of the thrust, drag force, torque, rolling moment and pitching moment are estimated through Kalman filter. Global positioning system and inertial sensors are used as measurements. The observabilities of the model parameters and their degrees of observability are analyzed. Flight experiments are carried out to verify the proposed method. It is shown that the model parameters estimated by the proposed method have good accuracies, demonstrating the validity of the proposed method.

The precision of battery modeling is usually determined by the identification of model parameters, which is dependent on the measured outside characteristic data of batteries. However, there is a lot of noise because of the environment noise and measurement error, leading to poor estimation accuracy of model parameters. This paper proposes a stochastic theory response reconstruction (STRR) method to reconstruct the measured battery voltage data, which can eliminate the noise interference and ensure high-precision model parameter identification. The relationship between the battery voltage and current is established based on the the second-order equivalent circuit model (ECM) by the convolution theorem, and the impulse function is calculated by the correlation function between the measured voltage and current. Then, the battery voltage is reconstructed and used to identify model parameters with the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. All data for model parameter identification is produced through the pseudo random binarysequence (PRBS) excitation signal. Finally, the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and Federal Urban Driving Schedule (FUDS) tests are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results show that when compared with the traditional solution using low-pass filter, the proposed method can eliminate the noise interference more effectively and has higher identification accuracy.

In this paper an active excitation approach to battery model parameter identification is discussed. Based on begin-of-life battery model, it is possible to establish a reference parameter table (either fixed, or adaptively learned), and based on such reference parameter table, as well as by analysing battery input signal, active excitation request may be generated. Active excitation is achieved based on maintaining overall torque level with regard to drive input, while adjusting both engine and battery power output (and input). Both conditions for active excitation request, as well as active excitation generation approaches, are presented in detail. Simulation examples using production electrified vehicle battery model parameters and real world drive cycles demonstrate that the proposed approach indeed improves battery model parameter identification accuracy.
