Joint Model Parameter Identification and Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm for the State of Charge Estimation of Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery

Abstract

Accurately estimating the state of charge (SOC) of batteries is crucial for achieving the safety and efficient driving of electric vehicles. To address the negative impact of voltage platform flatness and accumulated errors in current sampling, the SOC estimation method jointing model parameter identification and extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is proposed and verified through simulation in this article. First, the parameter identification method is obtained based on the second-order dual polarization model, and effective identification of the parameters under different SOC is achieved using experimental conditions of hybrid pulse power characteristic and constant current discharge. On this basis, a function model with SOC as the independent variable and model parameters as the dependent variable is established by jointing model parameter identification and EKF algorithm, and the iterative estimation of SOC is achieved through the 1stopt and cftool methods. Finally, the SOC estimation accuracy of the proposed method is validated under three operating conditions that adopt the latest standards and are closer to the actual driving environment. The simulation results show that the SOC estimation method jointing model parameter identification and EKF algorithm has higher accuracy and smaller fluctuations than the traditional ampere-time (AH) integration method, and the mean squared error (MSE) of estimation for the four test conditions are less than 0.29%, 0.72%, and 0.25%, respectively.
