Robust equivalent circuit model parameters identification scheme for State of Charge (SOC) estimation based on maximum correntropy criterion

Abstract

Equivalent circuit model (ECM) parameters identification, which aims to identify the model parameters of ECM accurately is vital for assessing battery status and refining battery management systems (BMS), extensive research has been conducted in this field. However, most of the existing studies rely on global similarity criteria such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Sum of Squares due to Error (SSE), which are highly sensitive to non-Gaussian noise, so they may not perform effectively when faced with the non-Gaussian noise which is often encountered in battery working environments. This article presents a robust ECM parameter identification scheme termed the Maximum Correntropy Criterion-based Gradient Ascending scheme (MCCGA). The proposed MCCGA scheme adopts correntropy for similarity assessment and leverages a gradient ascent algorithm to optimize the model parameters iteratively. Through these methods, the MCCGA scheme not only identifies model parameters with precision but also remains robustness to non-Gaussian noise. Extensive experimental results based on public dataset are provided, which validate the effectiveness, robustness and convergence of the proposed MCCGA scheme.
