Co-estimation of state of charge and internal temperature of pouch lithium battery based on multi-parameter time-varying electrothermal coupling model

Abstract

Accurate estimation of battery state of charge (SOC) and internal temperature can improve battery performance and safety. In this process, the accuracy of the battery's electrical model and thermal model and the applicability and robustness of the estimation algorithm are key. In this paper, a multi-parameter time-varying electrothermal coupling model for pouch batteries is established. The model takes into account the coupling relationship between the battery SOC and temperature changes, as well as the heat exchange between multiple surfaces of the battery and the external environment. And then through the improved hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC) test to realize the identification of model parameters, and the changing external heat transfer conditions could be identified online. At last, an adaptive strong tracking square root cubature Kalman filter (AST-SRCKF) algorithm was designed to estimate SOC and internal temperature simultaneously. The results were verified by three dynamic conditions. The conclusion is that the AST-SRCKF has high robustness and can be quickly corrected when the initial values of SOC and temperature are unknown. And the estimation accuracy is higher than extended Kalman filter (EKF) and dual Kalman filter (DEKF). Furthermore, the simulation efficiency is improved by more than 6 % compared with EKF, and by more than 11 % compared with DEKF, which is more conducive to online real vehicle applications.
