To realize a fast and high-precision online state-of-health (SOH) estimation of lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, this article proposes a novel SOH estimation method. This method consists of a new SOH model and parameters identification method based on an improved genetic algorithm (Improved-GA). The new SOH model combines the equivalent circuit model (ECM) and the data-driven model. The advantages lie in keeping the physical meaning of the ECM while improving its dynamic characteristics and accuracy. The improved-GA can effectively avoid falling into a local optimal problem and improve the convergence speed and search accuracy. So the advantages of the SOH estimation method proposed in this article are that it only relies on battery management systems (BMS) monitoring data and removes many assumptions in some other traditional ECM-based SOH estimation methods, so it is closer to the actual needs for electric vehicle (EV). By comparing with the traditional ECM-based SOH estimation method, the algorithm proposed in this article has higher accuracy, fewer identification parameters, and lower computational complexity.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are an important component of energy storage systems used in various applications such as electric vehicles and portable electronics. There are many chemistries of Li-ion battery, but LFP, NMC, LMO, and NCA are four commonly used types. In order for the battery applications to operate safely and effectively, battery modeling is very important. The equivalent circuit model (ECM) is a battery model often used in the battery management system (BMS) to monitor and control Li-ion batteries. In this study, experiments were performed to investigate the performance of three different ECMs (1RC, 2RC, and 1RC with hysteresis) on four Li-ion battery chemistries (LFP, NMC, LMO, and NCA). The results indicated that all three models are usable for the four types of Li-ion chemistries, with low errors. It was also found that the ECMs tend to perform better in dynamic current profiles compared to non-dynamic ones. Overall, the best-performed model for LFP and NCA was the 1RC with hysteresis ECM, while the most suited model for NMC and LMO was the 1RC ECM. The results from this study showed that different ECMs would be suited for different Li-ion battery chemistries, which should be an important factor to be considered in real-world battery and BMS applications.

The real-timely estimation of the SOC (state of charge) is the key technology in Li-ion battery management system. In this paper, to overcome the error of the SOC estimation of Extended Kalman filter (EKF), a new estimation method based on modified-strong tracking filter (MSTF) is applied to SOC estimation of Li-ion battery, based on the second-order RC equivalent circuit model. Experiments are made to compare the new filter with the EKF and Coulomb counting approach (Ah). The simulation results demonstrate that the new filter algorithm MSTF used in this paper has higher filtering accuracy under the same conditions.

Energy storage system (ESS) technology is still the logjam for the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have attracted considerable attention in the EV industry owing to their high energy density, lifespan, nominal voltage, power density, and cost. In EVs, a smart battery management system (BMS) is one of the essential components; it not only measures the states of battery accurately, but also ensures safe operation and prolongs the battery life. The accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of a Li-ion battery is a very challenging task because the Li-ion battery is a highly time variant, non-linear, and complex electrochemical system. This paper explains the workings of a Li-ion battery, provides the main features of a smart BMS, and comprehensively reviews its SOC estimation methods. These SOC estimation methods have been classified into four main categories depending on their nature. A critical explanation, including their merits, limitations, and their estimation errors from other studies, is provided. Some recommendations depending on the development of technology are suggested to improve the online estimation.

The equivalent-circuit model (ECM) is widely used in online estimating the parameters and states of lithium-ion batteries. However, the sampling delay between the voltage and current of a battery is generally overlooked, which is unavoidable in a modular battery management system (BMS) and would lead to wrong results in the estimation of battery parameters and states. In this paper, with the first-order resistor–capacitor (RC) model as our battery model, we analyze the influence mechanism of sampling delay and then propose an optimized method for online estimating battery parameters. The mathematical model derived from the first-order RC model and the approximation method of first-order derivative are optimized. The recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is used for identifying the parameters of the model. In order to verify the proposed method, a modular battery test system with high sampling frequency and high synchronization accuracy is developed. The experiment results indicate that the sampling delay would cause the estimation process to fluctuate, and the optimized method effectively improves the tolerance range of sampling delay.

Refined Instrumental Variable (RIV) estimation is applied to online identify the parameters of the Equivalent Circuit Model (ECM) for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery in this paper, which enables accurate parameters estimation with the measurement noise. Since the traditional Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimation is extremely sensitive to the noise, the parameters in the ECM may fail to converge to their true values under the measurement noise. The RIV estimation is implemented in a bootstrap form, which alternates between the estimation in the system model and the noise model. The Box-Jenkins model of the Li-ion battery transformed from the two RC ECM is selected as the transfer function model for the RIV estimation in this paper. The errors of the two RC ECM are independently generated by the residual of high-order Auto Regressive (AR) model estimation. With the benefit of a series of auxiliary models, the data filtering technology can prefilter the measurement and increase the robustness of the parameters against the noise. Reasonable parameters are possible to be obtained regardless of the noise in the measurement by RIV. Simulation and experimental tests on a LiFePO4 battery validate the efficiency of RIV for parameter online identification compared with traditional RLS.

AbstractLithium-ion (Li-ion) cells degrade after repeated cycling and the cell capacity fades while its resistance increases. Degradation of Li-ion cells is caused by a variety of physical and chemical mechanisms and it is strongly influenced by factors including the electrode materials used, the working conditions and the battery temperature. At present, charging voltage curve analysis methods are widely used in studies of battery characteristics and the constant current charging voltage curves can be used to analyze battery aging mechanisms and estimate a battery’s state of health (SOH) via methods such as incremental capacity (IC) analysis. In this paper, a method to fit and analyze the charging voltage curve based on a neural network is proposed and is compared to the existing point counting method and the polynomial curve fitting method. The neuron parameters of the trained neural network model are used to analyze the battery capacity relative to the phase change reactions that occur inside the batteries. This method is suitable for different types of batteries and could be used in battery management systems for online battery modeling, analysis and diagnosis.

The impedance of a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has been shown to be a valuable tool in evaluating the battery characteristics such as the state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH). Recent studies have shown impedance-measurement methods based on broadband pseudo-random sequences (PRS) and Fourier techniques. The methods can be efficiently applied in real-time applications where the conventional electrochemical-impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is not well suited to measure the impedance. The techniques based on the PRS are, however, strongly affected by the battery nonlinearities. This paper presents the use of a direct-synthesis ternary (DST) signal to minimize the effect caused by the nonlinearities. In such a signal, the second- and third-order harmonics are suppressed from the signal energy spectrum. As a result, the effect of the second- and third-order nonlinearities are suppressed from the impedance measurements. The impedance measurements are carried out for a nickel manganese cobalt Li-ion battery cell. The performance of the method is compared to the conventional EIS, as well as to other PRS signals which are more prone to battery nonlinearities. The Kronig–Kramers (K–K) transformation test is used to validate the uniqueness of the measured impedance spectra. It is shown that the measurement method based on the DST produces highly accurate impedance measurements under nonlinear distortions of the battery. The method shows a good K–K test behavior indicating that the measured impedance complies well to a linearized equivalent circuit model that can be used for the SOC and SOH estimation of the battery. Due to the good performance, low measurement time, and simplicity of the DST, the method is well suited for practical battery applications.
