Online estimation of lithium battery SOC based on fractional order FOUKF‐FOMIUKF algorithm with multiple time scales

Abstract

AbstractAiming at the matter of poor precision in predicting the charge of lithium battery by applying conventional integer‐order models and offline parameter identification, this paper proposes a joint fractional‐order multi‐innovations unscented Kalman filter (FOUKF‐FOMIUKF) algorithm for predicting the cells' state of charge (SOC) online and uses the theory of singular‐value decomposition to tackle the issue of failure of the traceless transformation. Initially, the circuitry model of fractional order is built. The parameters of the model are recognized online by fractional‐order unscented Kalman filtering (FOUKF), and the obtained parameters are then transmitted to the method known as the fractional order multi‐innovations unscented Kalman filter (FOMIUKF) to calculate the SOC of the cell. The algorithm was validated under four working conditions such as FUDS (US Federal Urban Driving Distance), BJDST (Beijing Dynamic Stress Test), DST (Dynamic Stress Test), and US06 (Highway Driving Distance Test), respectively, and compared with the FOMIUKF, MIUKF, and FOUKF algorithms for offline identification. The conclusions demonstrate that the SOC estimated by the FOUKF‐FOMIUKF method is controlled within 0.5% of the mean absolute error under the four conditions and the root‐mean‐square error is controlled within 0.8%. It is not difficult to find that the FOUKF‐FOMIUKF algorithm estimates SOC with higher accuracy and robustness.
