Efficient electrochemical model for lithium-ion cells
Lithium-ion batteries are used to store energy in electric vehicles. Physical
models based on electro-chemistry accurately predict the cell dynamics, in
particular the state of charge. However, these models are nonlinear partial
differential equations coupled to algebraic equations, and they are
computationally intensive. Furthermore, a variable solid-state diffusivity
model is recommended for cells with a lithium ion phosphate positive electrode
to provide more accuracy. This variable structure adds more complexities to the
model. However, a low-order model is required to represent the lithium-ion
cells' dynamics for real-time applications. In this paper, a simplification of
the electrochemical equations with variable solid-state diffusivity that
preserves the key cells' dynamics is derived. The simplified model is
transformed into a numerically efficient fully dynamical form. It is proved
that the simplified model is well-posed and can be approximated by a low-order
finite-dimensional model. Simulations are very quick and show good agreement

Model migration neural network for predicting battery aging trajectories
Accurate prediction of batteries’ future degradation is a key solution to relief users’ anxiety on battery lifespan and electric vehicle’s driving range. Technical challenges arise from the highly nonlinear dynamics of battery aging. In this paper, a feed-forward migration neural network is proposed to predict the batteries’ aging trajectories. Specifically, a base model that describes the capacity decay over time is first established from the existed battery aging dataset. This base model is then transformed by an input-output slope-and-bias-correction (SBC) method structure to capture the degradation of target cell. To enhance the model’s nonlinear transfer capability, the SBC-model is further integrated into a four-layer neural network, and easily trained via the gradient correlation algorithm. The proposed migration neural network is experimentally verified with four different commercial batteries. The predicted RMSEs are all lower than 2.5% when using only the first 30% of aging trajectories for neural network training. In addition, illustrative results demonstrate that a small size feed-forward neural network (down to 1-5-5-1) is sufficient for battery aging trajectory prediction
A novel mechanical analogy based battery model for SoC estimation using a multi-cell EKF
The future evolution of technological systems dedicated to improve energy
efficiency will strongly depend on effective and reliable Energy Storage
Systems, as key components for Smart Grids, microgrids and electric mobility.
Besides possible improvements in chemical materials and cells design, the
Battery Management System is the most important electronic device that improves
the reliability of a battery pack. In fact, a precise State of Charge (SoC)
estimation allows the energy flows controller to exploit better the full
capacity of each cell. In this paper, we propose an alternative definition for
the SoC, explaining the rationales by a mechanical analogy. We introduce a
novel cell model, conceived as a series of three electric dipoles, together
with a procedure for parameters estimation relying only on voltage measures and
a given current profile. The three dipoles represent the quasi-stationary, the
dynamics and the istantaneous components of voltage measures. An Extended
Kalman Filer (EKF) is adopted as a nonlinear state estimator. Moreover, we
propose a multi-cell EKF system based on a round-robin approach to allow the
same processing block to keep track of many cells at the same time. Performance
tests with a prototype battery pack composed by 18 A123 cells connected in
series show encouraging results.Comment: 8 page, 12 figures, 1 tabl
Kalman-variant estimators for state of charge in lithium-sulfur batteries
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
A novel safety assurance method based on the compound equivalent modeling and iterate reduce particle‐adaptive Kalman filtering for the unmanned aerial vehicle lithium ion batteries.
The safety assurance is very important for the unmanned aerial vehicle lithium ion batteries, in which the state of charge estimation is the basis of its energy management and safety protection. A new equivalent modeling method is proposed for the mathematical expression of different structural characteristics, and an improved reduce particle-adaptive Kalman filtering model is designed and built, in which the incorporate multiple featured information is absorbed to explore the optimal representation by abandoning the redundant and abnormal information. And then, the multiple parameter identification is investigated that has the ability of adapting the current varying conditions, according to which the hybrid pulse power characterization test is accommodated. As can be known from the experimental results, the polynomial fitting treatment is carried out by conducting the curve fitting treatment and the maximum estimation error of the closed-circuit-voltage is 0.48% and its state of charge estimation error is lower than 0.30% in the hybrid pulse power characterization test, which is also within 2.00% under complex current varying working conditions. The iterate calculation process is conducted for the unmanned aerial vehicle lithium ion batteries together with the compound equivalent modeling, realizing its adaptive power state estimation and safety protection effectively
A novel charged state prediction method of the lithium ion battery packs based on the composite equivalent modeling and improved splice Kalman filtering algorithm.
As the unscented Kalman filtering algorithm is sensitive to the battery model and susceptible to the uncertain noise interference, an improved iterate calculation method is proposed to improve the charged state prediction accuracy of the lithium ion battery packs by introducing a novel splice Kalman filtering algorithm with adaptive robust performance. The battery is modeled by composite equivalent modeling and its parameters are identified effectively by investigating the hybrid power pulse test. The sensitivity analysis is carried out for the model parameters to obtain the influence degree on the prediction effect of different factors, providing a basis of the adaptive battery characterization. Subsequently, its implementation process is carried out including model building and adaptive noise correction that are perceived by the iterate charged state calculation. Its experimental results are analyzed and compared with other algorithms through the physical tests. The polarization resistance is obtained as Rp = 16.66 mΩ and capacitance is identified as Cp = 13.71 kF. The ohm internal resistance is calculated as Ro = 68.71 mΩ and the charged state has a prediction error of 1.38% with good robustness effect, providing a foundational basis of the power prediction for the lithium ion battery packs
Open circuit voltage and state of charge relationship functional optimization for the working state monitoring of the aerial lithium-ion battery pack.
The aerial lithium-ion battery pack works differently from the usual battery packs, the working characteristic of which is intermittent supplement charge and instantaneous large current discharge. An adaptive state of charge estimation method combined with the output voltage tracking strategy is proposed by using the reduced particle - unscented Kalman filter, which is based on the reaction mechanism and experimental characteristic analysis. The improved splice equivalent circuit model is constructed together with its state-space description, in which the operating characteristics can be obtained. The relationship function between the open circuit voltage and the state of charge is analyzed and especially optimized. The feasibility and accuracy characteristics are tested by using the aerial lithium-ion battery pack experimental samples with seven series-connected battery cells. Experimental results show that the state of charge estimation error is less than 2.00%. The proposed method achieves the state of charge estimation accurately for the aerial lithium-ion battery pack, which provides a core avenue for its high-power supply security
Nonlinear observers for predicting state-of-charge and state-of-health of lead-acid batteries for hybrid-electric vehicles
Abstract—This paper describes the application of state-estimation
techniques for the real-time prediction of the state-of-charge
(SoC) and state-of-health (SoH) of lead-acid cells. Specifically,
approaches based on the well-known Kalman Filter (KF) and
Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), are presented, using a generic
cell model, to provide correction for offset, drift, and long-term
state divergence—an unfortunate feature of more traditional
coulomb-counting techniques. The underlying dynamic behavior
of each cell is modeled using two capacitors (bulk and surface) and
three resistors (terminal, surface, and end), from which the SoC
is determined from the voltage present on the bulk capacitor. Although
the structure of the model has been previously reported for
describing the characteristics of lithium-ion cells, here it is shown
to also provide an alternative to commonly employed models of
lead-acid cells when used in conjunction with a KF to estimate
SoC and an EKF to predict state-of-health (SoH). Measurements
using real-time road data are used to compare the performance
of conventional integration-based methods for estimating SoC
with those predicted from the presented state estimation schemes.
Results show that the proposed methodologies are superior to
more traditional techniques, with accuracy in determining the
SoC within 2% being demonstrated. Moreover, by accounting
for the nonlinearities present within the dynamic cell model, the
application of an EKF is shown to provide verifiable indications of
SoH of the cell pack
