In this article we first introduced some methods for estimating battery’s SOC and their advantages and shortcomings respectively. With experimental data, we proved that parameters of battery model are time variant. So fixed parameter Kalman Filter (FPKF) will not be suitable, then we came up with a new algorithm named adaptive Kalman Filter (APKF),which associated two algorithms—Kalman Filter and Least Square method. Kalman Filer estimates SOC of battery, while Least Square method updates parameters used in Kalman Filter. Then we used battery’s discharging data to test whether this new algorithm took effect. The results produced by Ah-counting method was viewed as a reference because of constant current discharging situation. According to the estimating results, the results produced by APKF have much smaller deviation than that produced by fixed parameters Kalman Filter (FPKF).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
