State of Charge Estimation Error due to Parameter Mismatch in a Generalized Explicit Lithium Ion Battery Model Available to Purchase

Model-based state of charge (SOC) estimation with output feedback of the voltage error is steadily augmenting more traditional coulomb counting or voltage inversion techniques in hybrid electric vehicle applications. In this paper, the state (SOC) estimation error in the presence of model parameter mismatch is calculated for a general lithium ion battery model with linear diffusion or impedance-based state dynamics and nonlinear output voltage equations. The estimation error due to initial conditions and inputs is derived for linearized battery models and also verified by nonlinear simulations. It is shown that in some cases of parameter mismatch, the state, e.g. SOC, estimation error will be significant while the voltage estimation error is negligible.
