State of charge estimation of lithium-ion battery based on improved forgetting factor recursive least squares-extended Kalman filter joint algorithm

Abstract

In order to solve the problem that forgetting factor recursive least squares (FFRLS) is prone to abnormal jitter and even divergence under complex working conditions, improved forgetting factor recursive least squares based on dynamic constraint and parameter backtracking is proposed. A joint algorithm of improved forgetting factor recursive least squares and extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to estimate the state of charge (SOC) of lithium-ion battery. Firstly, parameters of Thevenin equivalent circuit model are identified on-line by the improved FFRLS considering dynamic constraint and parameter backtracking, and then the SOC of lithium-ion battery is estimated by extended Kalman filter. The results show that the improved forgetting factor recursive least squares has high accuracy of battery model parameters identification and the joint algorithm also has high accuracy and robustness of SOC estimation under dynamic stress test (DST) condition, the maximum absolute SOC estimation error is 2.49 % and the average absolute SOC estimation error is 1.39 %.
