A Model Fusion Method for Online State of Charge and State of Power Co-Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles

In this paper, a model fusion method (MFM) is proposed for online state of charge (SOC) and state of power (SOP) co-estimation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles (EVs). Firstly, a particle swarm optimization-genetic algorithm (PSO-GA) method is cooperated with a 2-RC

fractional-order model (FOM) to construct battery open-circuit voltage (OCV)-SOC curve, which only relies on a part of dynamic load profile without the prior knowledge of an initial SOC. Secondly, a dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) algorithm based on a 1-RC model is employed to identify the model parameters and estimate battery SOC with the extracted OCV-SOC curve. Furthermore, battery polarization dynamics in a SOP prediction window is analyzed from two aspects: (1) self-recovery; and (2) current excitation. They are separately simulated using 2-RC

FOM and 1-RC model, and then integrated through a model fusion for online SOP estimation, which enables an analytical expression of battery peak charge/discharge current in a prediction window without weakening the nonlinear characteristic of FOM. Experimental results demonstrate the improved performance of the proposed MFM for online discharge SOP estimation, where the mean absolute error and root mean square error are only 0.288 W and 0.35 W, respectively, under the urban dynamometer driving schedule profile.
