    Lithium-sulfur batteries are now commercially available, offering high specific energy density, low production costs and high safety. However, there is no commercially-available battery management system for them, and there are no published methods for determining state of charge in situ. This paper describes a study to address this gap. The properties and behaviours of lithium-sulfur are briefly introduced, and the applicability of ‘standard’ lithium-ion state-of-charge estimation methods is explored. Open-circuit voltage methods and ‘Coulomb counting’ are found to have a poor fit for lithium-sulfur, and model-based methods, particularly recursive Bayesian filters, are identified as showing strong promise. Three recursive Bayesian filters are implemented: an extended Kalman filter (EKF), an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and a particle filter (PF). These estimators are tested through practical experimentation, considering both a pulse-discharge test and a test based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Experimentation is carried out at a constant temperature, mirroring the environment expected in the authors' target automotive application. It is shown that the estimators, which are based on a relatively simple equivalent-circuit–network model, can deliver useful results. If the three estimators implemented, the unscented Kalman filter gives the most robust and accurate performance, with an acceptable computational effort

    In This paper, we propose an effective and online technique for modeling nd State of Charge (SoC) estimation of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries using Feed Forward Neural Networks(FFNN) and Nonlinear Auto Regressive model with eXogenous input(NARX). The both Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are rained using the data collected from the batterycharging and discharging pro ess. The NARX network finds the needed battery model, where the input ariables are the battery terminal voltage, SoC at the previous sample, and the urrent, temperature at the present sample. The proposed method is imple mented on a Li-Ion battery cell to estimate online SoC. Simulation results show good estimation of theSoC

    Automotive Industry is growing at a very fast rate. Hence problems pertaining to the increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere and the ever increasing fuel rates also increase. Electric and Hybrid electric technology has become the latest milestone for the automotive industry. In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), the reliable range of operation is characterized by batteries and battery state of charge (SOC), that describes its remaining capacity, is an important factor for providing the control strategy for the battery management system (BMS) in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and electric vehicles (EV). Accuracy in estimation of the SOC is necessary not only to protect the battery, prevent it’s over discharge, and improve the battery life but also to allow the application to make rational control strategies to save energy. However, the chemical energy of a battery which is a chemical energy storage source cannot be directly accessed and this issue makes the estimation of the SOC of a battery difficult. Hence, estimation of the SOC accurately becomes very complex and is difficult to implement, as there are parametric uncertainties and the battery models are limited. In fact, in practice several examples of models of the estimation of the SOC are found which have poor accuracy and reliability. Hence a comparative study done in this paper on the various methods will help choose the right method based on the requirements and the application. This paper also reviews a case study on modeling and simulation of one of the methods of SOC estimation and efforts have been put in obtaining the performance of Li-ion batteries by calculating the SOC using Coulomb counting method in MATLAB Simulink.

    In battery management systems, the main figure of merit is the battery\u27s SOC, typically obtained from voltage and current measurements. Present estimation methods use simplified battery models that do not fully capture the electrical characteristics of the battery, which are useful for system design. This thesis studied SOC estimation for a lithium-ion battery using a nonlinear, electrical-circuit battery model that better describes the electrical characteristics of the battery. The extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, third-order and fifth-order cubature Kalman filter, and the statistically linearized filter were tested on their ability to estimate the SOC through numerical simulation. Their performances were compared based on their root-mean-square error over one hundred Monte Carlo runs as well as the time they took to complete those runs. The results show that the extended Kalman filter is a good choice for estimating the SOC of a lithium-ion battery

    In lithium-ion batteries, the accuracy of estimation of the state of charge is a core parameter which will determine the power control accuracy and management reliability of the energy storage systems. When using unscented Kalman filtering to estimate the charge of lithium-ion batteries, if the pulse current change rate is too high, the tracking effects of algorithms will not be optimal, with high estimation errors. In this study, the unscented Kalman filtering algorithm is improved to solve the above problems and boost the Kalman gain with dynamic function modules, so as to improve system stability. The closed-circuit voltage of the system is predicted with two non-linear transformations, so as to improve the accuracy of the system. Meanwhile, an adaptive algorithm is developed to predict and correct the system noises and observation noises, thus enhancing the robustness of the system. Experiments show that the maximum estimation error of the second-order Circuit Model is controlled to less than 0.20V. Under various simulation conditions and interference factors, the estimation error of the unscented Kalman filtering is as high as 2%, but that of the improved Kalman filtering algorithm are kept well under 1.00%, with the errors reduced by 0.80%, therefore laying a sound foundation for the follow-up research on the battery management system
