Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Based State-of-Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Battery Considering Temperature and State-of-Charge Effect

Abstract

State of health (SOH) is critical to the efficient and reliable use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially in electric vehicle (EV) applications. Recently, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based technique has been proven to be effective for SOH estimation of LIB. However, existing EIS-based methods failed to consider the impact of ambient temperature and battery state of charge (SOC), leading to the limited flexibility of these methods under dynamic environments. In this work, a novel EIS-based method is proposed for battery SOH estimation considering variations of temperature and SOC. An equivalent circuit model (ECM) is first introduced, in which the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) resistance and charge transfer resistance are employed to map their relationship with SOH under variant temperature and SOC. Subsequently, a probabilistic model, taking charge transfer resistance, temperature, and SOC as input variables, is developed for LIB SOH estimation. Experimental study indicates that the estimation error of the proposed method is around 4% when simultaneously considering the temperature and SOC effects. Moreover, the estimation error can reach 1.29% under certain conditions (e.g., 80% SOC at 30 °C). Both results of estimation error are better than the existing EIS-based methods, which indicates that the proposed method is more flexible for SOH estimation with higher precision.
