Joint estimation of state-of-charge and state-of-power for hybrid supercapacitors using fractional-order adaptive unscented Kalman filter

Abstract

As a new type of energy storage device, hybrid supercapacitors have the advantages of both lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. State of charge and state of power estimation are crucial for system operation and energy management. This work proposes a joint estimation method for the state-of-charge (SoC) and state-of-power (SoP) of hybrid supercapacitors based on a fractional-order model and unscented Kalman filter algorithm. Firstly, a parameter identification method for second-order fractional-order models is proposed using a competitive learning-based particle swarm optimization algorithm. On this basis, a SoC estimation method is designed based on the fractional-order adaptive unscented Kalman filter. Then, a SoP estimation method considering multiple constraint conditions is proposed. Finally, the proposed parameter identification and state estimation algorithms are validated under different operating dynamic conditions and environmental temperatures. The experimental results show that the error of model voltage is lower than 100 mV and the SoC estimation error is lower than 2% in the vast majority of cases, which proves the proposed algorithms have good accuracy and robustness in different environments.
