Conventional battery state-of-charge (SoC) estimation methods either involve sophisticated models or consume considerable computational resource. This study constructs an enhanced coulomb counting method (Ah method) for the SoC estimation of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) by expanding the Peukert equation for the discharging process and incorporating the Coulombic efficiency for the charging process. Both the rate- and temperature-dependence of battery capacity are encompassed. An SoC mapping approach is also devised for initial SoC determination and Ah method correction. The charge counting performance at different sampling frequencies is analyzed experimentally and theoretically. To achieve a favorable compromise between sampling frequency and accumulation accuracy, a frequency-adjustable current sampling solution is developed. Experiments under the augmented urban dynamometer driving schedule cycles at different temperatures are conducted on two LiBs of different chemistries. Results verify the effectiveness and generalization ability of the proposed SoC estimation method.

In this paper, a mixed algorithm is proposed to overcome the limitations of the conventional algorithms, which cannot be applied in various driving patterns of drivers. The proposed algorithm based on the coulomb counting method is mixed with reset algorithms that consist of the enhanced OCV reset method and the DCIR iterative calculation method. It has many advantages, such as a simple model structure, low computational overload in various profiles, and a low accumulated SOC error through the frequent SOC reset. In addition, the enhanced parameter based on a mathematical analysis of the second-order RC ladder model is calculated and is then applied to all of the methods. The proposed algorithm is verified by experimental results based on a 27-Ah LiPB. It is observed that the SOC RMSE of the proposed algorithm decreases by about 9.16% compared to the coulomb counting method.

전류 적산법(Coulomb counting, Ampere counting)을 이용한 배터리 SOC(State of Charge) 추정 방식은 초기 SOC 값에 존재하는 오차와 SOC를 추정하는 시간동안 누적되는 전류값의 오차로 인해 추정이 실패할 수 있는 단점이 존재한다. 하지만 알고리즘이 직관적이며 단시간 내에서는 그 오차가 크지않고, 상용화된 배터리 SOC 추정 IC가 존재하여 구현이 간단하다는 장점 또한 있다. 본 논문에서는 전류 적산법 기반의 배터리 SOC 추정 IC를 사용하여 $LiFePO_4$ 리튬 폴리머 배터리의 SOC 추정 회로를 구현하는 과정을 제안한다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안된 배터리 SOC 추정 회로의 성능을 확인해본다.

전류 적산법(Coulomb counting, ampere counting)을 이용한 배터리 SOC(State-of-Charge) 추정 방법은 상용화된 IC를 사용할 수 있기에 구현이 간단하고 SOC 정의를 통해 배터리 사용 가능한 시간을 쉽게 예측할 수도 있다. 하지만 초기 SOC 오류와 누적되는 전류 정보의 오차로 인해 추정이 실패하는 단점이 존재하기 때문에 이를 해결해주는 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 전류 적산법 기반의 배터리 SOC 추정 회로에 확장 칼만 필터(EKF, Extended Kalman Filter)를 접목하여 전류 적산법을 이용하였을 때 나타날 수 있는 오차 누적을 줄이는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안된 배터리 SOC 추정 회로의 성능을 확인해본다.

In this work, we propose techniques for estimating the SOC of Li-air battery. First, we describe and explain the operation principle of the Li-air battery. Energy density of the Li-air battery was compared with that of the Li-ion battery. The capacity and impedance value of the fully discharged voltage is analyzed, and the OCV value for SOC estimation is measured through the electrochemical characterization of the Li-air battery. Estimation value is obtained by SOC modeling through extended Kaman filter and is compared with the measurement value from the Coulomb counting method. Moreover, the performance of SOC estimation circuit is evaluated.

This paper presents a new method for the estimation of State of Charge (SOC) for NiMH batteries. Among the conventional methods to estimate SOC, Coulomb Counting is widely used, but this method is not precise due to error integration. Another method that has been proposed to estimate SOC is by using a measurement of the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV). This method is found to be a precise one for SOC estimation. In NiMH batteries, the hysteresis characteristic of OCV is very strong compared to other type of batteries. Another characteristic of NiMH battery to be considered is that the OCV of a NiMH battery under discharging mode is lower than it is under charging mode. In this paper, the OCV is modeled by a simple method based on a hyperbolic function which well known as Takacs’s model. The OCV model is then used for SOC estimation. Although the model is simple, the error is within 10%.

The molecular orbital calculations for solid HF are performed by using the pseudolattice method considering the coulomb lattice sum. In order to obtain the reliable net atomic charges and lattice energy of one dimensional chains, the limited counting of interactions terms up to second neighbours for zig-zag chain and third neighbours for linear chain are sufficient in this calculation. In three dimensional solid HF, the contribution of interaction energy between non-hydrogen bonded neighbours to lattice energy is about 3.5% and the lattice energy of nonpolar structure is stablized by 2.05 kcal/mole compared with that of polar structure. And, this method is further tested and compared with the other methods.

본 논문은 OCV 추정기법을 이용한 전류적산법의 SOC Reset 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 배터리 상황에 따라 OCV 추정을 위한 휴지시간을 달리 설정한다. 이에 따라 짧은 휴지 시에도 SOC Reset Point를 늘려 전류적산법의 오차를 Reset함으로써 SOC 추정 능력을 향상한다. Li-ion 27 Ah/99.9 Wh 배터리의 충 방전 실험을 통해서 OCV 판별 시간을 도출하여 알고리즘을 구현한다. 전기자동차의 주행 패턴을 모사하여 기존의 전류적산법과 비교 실험을 통해 제안한 알고리즘을 검증한다.

본 논문은 Shepherd model과 전류적산법을 이용한 개선된 SOC 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 추정 알고리즘은 전류적산법을 통해 SOC를 측정 한 후 누적된 오차는 Shepherd model을 통해 구한 OCV를 이용하여 리셋시킴으로써 최종적으로 SOC 추정을 수행하였다. Li-ion 4.2V, 10Ah 배터리를 사용하여 SOC 추정 실험을 하였다. 제안한 SOC 추정 알고리즘은 불규칙적인 전류 프로파일을 통해 이상적인 SOC 추정값과 제안한 SOC 추정값을 비교함으로써 SOC 추정 알고리즘의 우수성을 확인하였다.
