An Adaptive Combined Method for Lithium‐Ion Battery State of Charge Estimation Using Long Short‐Term Memory Network and Unscented Kalman Filter Considering Battery Aging

Abstract

AbstractThe accurate estimation of battery state of charge (SOC) enables the reliable and safe operation of lithium‐ion batteries. Data‐driven SOC estimation is considered an emerging and effective solution. However, existing data‐driven SOC estimation methods typically involve direct estimation and lack effective feedback correction. Moreover, battery degradation poses additional challenges to accurate SOC estimation. Therefore, this study proposes an adaptive combined method for battery SOC estimation based on a long short‐term memory (LSTM) network and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm considering battery aging status. First, an LSTM model is constructed to characterize the battery's dynamic performance instead of traditional battery models. Then, the UKF algorithm is employed to perform SOC estimation through the feedback of terminal voltage prediction. To enhance estimation accuracy under different aging statuses, a proportional‐integral‐derivative controller is employed to correct the capacity fading during the SOC estimation process. Validation results indicate that the terminal voltage prediction model demonstrates exceptional robustness against interference from current and voltage noise. Compared to the traditional estimation method combining the deep learning model and Kalman filter algorithm, the proposed method demonstrates superior estimation accuracy under various complex operating conditions. Furthermore, the proposed method outperforms the traditional method in estimation performance during battery aging.
