The accurate state of charge (SoC) online estimation for lithium-ion batteries is a primary concern for predicting the remaining range in electric vehicles. The Sigma points Kalman Filter is an emerging SoC filtering technology. Firstly, the charge and discharge tests of the battery were carried out using the interval static method to obtain the accurate calibration of the SoC-OCV (open circuit voltage) relationship curve. Secondly, the recursive least squares method (RLS) was combined with the dynamic stress test (DST) to identify the parameters of the second-order equivalent circuit model (ECM) and establish a non-linear state-space model of the lithium-ion battery. Thirdly, based on proportional correction sampling and symmetric sampling Sigma points, an SoC estimation method combining unscented transformation and Stirling interpolation center difference was designed. Finally, a semi-physical simulation platform was built. The Federal Urban Driving Schedule and US06 Highway Driving Schedule operating conditions were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method in the presence of initial SoC errors and compare with the EKF (extended Kalman filter), UKF (unscented Kalman filter) and CDKF (central difference Kalman filter) algorithms. The results showed that the new algorithm could ensure an SoC error within 2% under the two working conditions and quickly converge to the reference value when the initial SoC value was inaccurate, effectively improving the initial error correction ability.

Abstract In the battery thermal management system (BMS), the state of charge (SOC) is a very influential factor, which can prevent overcharge and over-discharge of the lithium-ion battery (LIB). This paper proposed a battery modeling and online battery parameter identification method based on the Thevenin equivalent circuit model (ECM) and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. The proposed model proved to have high accuracy. The error between the ECM terminal voltage value and the actual value basically fluctuates between ±0.1V. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm and the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm were applied to estimate the SOC of the battery based on the proposed model. The SOC experimental results obtained under dynamic stress test (DST), federal urban driving schedule (FUDS), and US06 cycle conditions were analyzed. The maximum deviation of the SOC based on EKF was 1.4112%~2.5988%, and the maximum deviation of the SOC based on UKF was 0.3172%~0.3388%. The SOC estimation method based on UKF and RLS provides a smaller deviation and better adaptability in different working conditions, which makes it more implementable in a real-world automobile application.

The state-of-charge (SOC) is a fundamental indicator representing the remaining capacity of lithium-ion batteries, which plays an important role in the battery’s optimized operation. In this paper, the model-based SOC estimation strategy is studied for batteries. However, the battery’s model parameters need to be extracted through cumbersome prior experiments. To remedy such deficiency, a recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is utilized for model parameter online identification, and an adaptive square-root unscented Kalman filter (SRUKF) is designed to estimate the battery’s SOC. As demonstrated in extensive experimental results, the designed adaptive SRUKF combined with RLS-based model identification is a promising SOC estimation approach. Compared with other commonly used Kalman filter-based methods, the proposed algorithm has higher precision in the SOC estimation.

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries retired from electric vehicles can provide considerable economic benefits when they are retired for secondary use. However, retired batteries after screening and restructuring still face the problem of inaccurate battery pack state-of-charge (SOC) estimation due to the existence of extreme inconsistency. To solve this problem, an adaptive fading unscented Kalman filtering (AFUKF) algorithm based on the cell difference model (CDM) is proposed in this paper for improving the accuracy of SOC estimation of retired lithium-ion battery packs. Firstly, an improved CDM based on a hypothetical Rint model is developed based on a second-order resistor/capacitor equivalent circuit model. Secondly, an AFUKF algorithm is developed to improve the adaptability and robustness of local state estimation against process modelling errors. Finally, characteristic data are obtained by conducting discharge tests on the screened retired lithium-ion batteries under specific operating conditions. The proposed method can improve the accuracy of SOC estimation of retired lithium-ion battery packs and provide a new idea for SOC estimation of retired lithium-ion battery packs, as shown by the simulated real experimental data.

The state of charge (SOC) of a lithium-ion battery plays a key role in ensuring the charge and discharge energy control strategy, and SOC estimation is the core part of the battery management system for safe and efficient driving of electric vehicles. In this paper, a model-based SOC estimation strategy based on the Adaptive Cubature Kalman filter (ACKF) is studied for lithium-ion batteries. In the present study, the dual polarization (DP) model is employed for SOC estimation and the vector forgetting factor recursive least squares (VRLS) method is utilized for model parameter online identification. The ACKF is then designed to estimate the battery’s SOC. Finally, the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule and Dynamic Stress Test are utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed method by comparing with results obtained using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the cubature Kalman filter (CKF) algorithms. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed ACKF algorithm combined with VRLS-based model identification is a promising SOC estimation approach. The proposed algorithm is found to provide more accurate SOC estimation with satisfying stability than the extended EKF and CKF algorithms.

State of charge (SOC) of the lithium-ion batteries is one of the key parameters of the battery management system, which the performance of SOC estimation guarantees energy management efficiency and endurance mileage of electric vehicles. However, accurate SOC estimation is a difficult problem owing to complex chemical reactions and nonlinear battery characteristics. In this paper, the method of the dynamic neural network is used to estimate the SOC of the lithium-ion batteries, which is improved based on the classic close-loop nonlinear auto-regressive models with exogenous input neural network (NARXNN) model, and the open-loop NARXNN model considering expected output is proposed. Since the input delay, feedback delay, and hidden layer of the dynamic neural network are usually selected by empirically, which affects the estimation performance of the dynamic neural network. To cover this weakness, sine cosine algorithm (SCA) is used for global optimal dynamic neural network parameters. Then, the experimental results are verified to obtain the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method under different conditions. Finally, the dynamic neural network based on SCA is compared with unscented Kalman filter (UKF), back propagation neural network based on particle swarm optimization (BPNN-PSO), least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), and Gaussian process regression (GPR), the results show that the proposed dynamic neural network based on SCA is superior to other methods.

With the development of new energy vehicle technology, battery management systems used to monitor the state of the battery have been widely researched. The accuracy of the battery status assessment to a great extent depends on the accuracy of the battery model parameters. This paper proposes an improved method for parameter identification and state-of-charge (SOC) estimation for lithium-ion batteries. Using a two-order equivalent circuit model, the battery model is divided into two parts based on fast dynamics and slow dynamics. The recursive least squares method is used to identify parameters of the battery, and then the SOC and the open-circuit voltage of the model is estimated with the extended Kalman filter. The two-module voltages are calculated using estimated open circuit voltage and initial parameters, and model parameters are constantly updated during iteration. The proposed method can be used to estimate the parameters and the SOC in real time, which does not need to know the state of SOC and the value of open circuit voltage in advance. The method is tested using data from dynamic stress tests, the root means squared error of the accuracy of the prediction model is about 0.01 V, and the average SOC estimation error is 0.0139. Results indicate that the method has higher accuracy in offline parameter identification and online state estimation than traditional recursive least squares methods.

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.
