Accuracy versus simplicity in online battery model identification
This paper presents a framework for battery
modeling in online, real-time applications where accuracy is
important but speed is the key. The framework allows users to
select model structures with the smallest number of parameters
that is consistent with the accuracy requirements of the target
application. The tradeoff between accuracy and speed in a battery
model identification process is explored using different model
structures and parameter-fitting algorithms. Pareto optimal sets
are obtained, allowing a designer to select an appropriate compromise
between accuracy and speed. In order to get a clearer
understanding of the battery model identification problem, “identification
surfaces” are presented. As an outcome of the battery
identification surfaces, a new analytical solution is derived for
battery model identification using a closed-form formula to obtain
a battery’s ohmic resistance and open circuit voltage from measurement
data. This analytical solution is used as a benchmark
for comparison of other fitting algorithms and it is also used in its
own right in a practical scenario for state-of-charge estimation.
A simulation study is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the proposed framework and the simulation results are
verified by conducting experimental tests on a small NiMH
battery pack
Novel System Identification Techniques For Battery Management System
In this thesis, we presents a novel approach for system identification of a Li-ion batteries. First, we we present a robust approach to estimate the equivalent circuit model (ECM) parameters of a Li-ion battery that offers several advantages over existing ones. Particularly, (i) The proposed approach depends only on measured voltage across and current through the battery; (ii) We theoretically derive the estimation error in terms of the voltage and current measurement errors; (iii) The proposed approach is unaffected by the effect of hysteresis in batteries; (iv) The proposed approach is applicable in time-varying conditions; and (v) The new ECM identification approach can be implemented for different ECM approximations with little change in the algorithm. The proposed algorithm was tested on simulated as well as real world battery data and found to be accurate within 1% uncertainty. Finally, we discuss about the battery fuel gauge (BFG). We suggest an improved BFG of an existing one that estimate ECM parameter as well as the state of charge (SOC) in real time. Then we use the BFG evaluation scheme to validate the performance of an improved BFG and compare its performance with its predecessor. The comparison shows the performance improvement of the improved BFG in objective terms - using the BFG evaluation metrics. Therefore, this thesis further aims to highlight the importance of employing objective performance analysis to quantify the performance of different versions of BFG being proposed in the literature and demonstrate its use case using simulated as well as real world data
SoC estimation for lithium-ion batteries : review and future challenges
ABSTRACT: Energy storage emerged as a top concern for the modern cities, and the choice of the lithium-ion chemistry battery technology as an effective solution for storage applications proved to be a highly efficient option. State of charge (SoC) represents the available battery capacity and is one of the most important states that need to be monitored to optimize the performance and extend the lifetime of batteries. This review summarizes the methods for SoC estimation for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). The SoC estimation methods are presented focusing on the description of the techniques and the elaboration of their weaknesses for the use in on-line battery management systems (BMS) applications. SoC estimation is a challenging task hindered by considerable changes in battery characteristics over its lifetime due to aging and to the distinct nonlinear behavior. This has led scholars to propose different methods that clearly raised the challenge of establishing a relationship between the accuracy and robustness of the methods, and their low complexity to be implemented.
This paper publishes an exhaustive review of the works presented during the last five years, where the tendency of the estimation techniques has been oriented toward a mixture of probabilistic techniques and some artificial intelligence
A review of fractional-order techniques applied to lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and supercapacitors
Electrochemical energy storage systems play an important role in diverse applications, such as electrified transportation and integration of renewable energy with the electrical grid. To facilitate model-based management for extracting full system potentials, proper mathematical models are imperative. Due to extra degrees of freedom brought by differentiation derivatives, fractional-order models may be able to better describe the dynamic behaviors of electrochemical systems. This paper provides a critical overview of fractional-order techniques for managing lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and supercapacitors. Starting with the basic concepts and technical tools from fractional-order calculus, the modeling principles for these energy systems are presented by identifying disperse dynamic processes and using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Available battery/supercapacitor models are comprehensively reviewed, and the advantages of fractional types are discussed. Two case studies demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of fractional-order models. These models offer 15–30% higher accuracy than their integer-order analogues, but have reasonable complexity. Consequently, fractional-order models can be good candidates for the development of advanced b attery/supercapacitor management systems. Finally, the main technical challenges facing electrochemical energy storage system modeling, state estimation, and control in the fractional-order domain, as well as future research directions, are highlighted
An accurate time constant parameter determination method for the varying condition equivalent circuit model of lithium batteries.
An accurate estimation of the state of charge for lithium battery depends on an accurate identification of the battery model parameters. In order to identify the polarization resistance and polarization capacitance in a Thevenin equivalent circuit model of lithium battery, the discharge and shelved states of a Thevenin circuit model were analyzed in this paper, together with the basic reasons for the difference in the resistance capacitance time constant and the accurate characterization of the resistance capacitance time constant in detail. The exact mathematical expression of the working characteristics of the circuit in two states were deduced thereafter. Moreover, based on the data of various working conditions, the parameters of the Thevenin circuit model through hybrid pulse power characterization experiment was identified, the simulation model was built, and a performance analysis was carried out. The experiments showed that the accuracy of the Thevenin circuit model can become 99.14% higher under dynamic test conditions and the new identification method that is based on the resistance capacitance time constant. This verifies that this method is highly accurate in the parameter identification of a lithium battery model
