Online estimation of state-of-charge inconsistency for lithium-ion battery based on SVSF-VBL

摘要

? 2023 Elsevier LtdIt is of great significance to estimate cell inconsistency for improving the service life and safety performance of the power battery pack. To accurately estimate the state-of-charge (SOC) inconsistency of cells with different performance parameters and working states, a method combining adaptive robust unscented Kalman filter and smooth variable structure filter with time-varying smoothing boundary layer (SVSF-VBL) is proposed. The cell mean-difference model is used to simulate the behavior characteristics of the battery module, including the cell mean model expressed by the dual polarization (DP) model and the cell difference model characterized by the hypothetical Rint model. Firstly, the improved forgetting factor recursive least square is applied to identify parameters of the DP model, and the unscented Kalman filter incorporating robust estimation and adaptive filter tuning is employed to estimate the SOC of the battery module. Then, SVSF-VBL is used to estimate the SOC difference between each cell and module based on the Rint model for improving the estimation accuracy and robustness. In addition, the comprehensive inconsistency of the cells can be captured by the secondary performance indicator inherent in SVSF-VBL, which contributes to the in-depth study of cell inconsistency. Finally, a series of tests are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed method, and the results show that the method can improve the estimation accuracy and convergence performance while effectively suppressing the system disturbance.
