Lithium-ion Battery Modeling and State of Charge Estimation

Abstract

State of charge (SOC) is an important indicator for guiding the charging-discharging operation of lithium-ion batteries. In this article, the equivalent circuit model of lithium-ion battery and the variable forgetting factor (VFF) least squares model identification method are proposed. This parameter identification method can improve the accuracy of the lithium-ion battery model, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the SOC estimation. Furthermore, based on the lithium-ion battery model, the adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) algorithm is proposed to estimate SOC of lithium-ion batteries. Experimental results show that the AUKF algorithm is good robustness, fast convergence, practicality and small error in SOC estimation of lithium-ion batteries. In conclusion, the VFF least squares model identification method and the AUKF algorithm are promising engineering application method.
