Low Temperature, Current Dependent Battery State Estimation Using Interacting Multiple Model Strategy

Lithium-ion battery State of Charge (SoC) estimation for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications must be robust and as accurate as possible to maximize battery utilization and ensure safe operation over a wide range of operating conditions. SoC estimation commonly utilizes filters such as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which rely on battery models, usually in the form of Equivalent Circuit Models (ECM). At low temperatures the battery response to …
