Health Monitoring of Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Dual Filters

Accurate estimation of a battery’s capacity is critical for determining its state of health (SOH) and retirement, as well as to ensure its reliable operation. In this paper, a dual filter architecture using the Kalman filter (KF) and the novel sliding innovation filter (SIF) was implemented to estimate the capacity and state of charge (SOC) of a lithium-ion battery. NASA’s Prognostic Center of Excellence (PCOE) B005 battery data set was selected for this experiment based on its wide use in academia and industry. This dataset contains cycling data of a 2 Ah lithium-ion battery until its capacity was measured at 1.3 Ah or less. The dual polarity equivalent circuit model (DP-ECM) was selected for modeling. The model parameter values were estimated using the least squares (LS) algorithm. Under normal operating conditions, both the dual-KF and dual-SIF performed similarly in terms of estimation accuracy. However, an uncertainty case was considered where the filters were subjected to rapid changing dynamics by cutting the data by 300 cycles. In this case, the battery capacity root-mean-square error (RMSE) for the dual-KF and the proposed dual-SIF were 0.1233 and 0.0675, respectively. Under rapidly changing dynamics and faulty conditions, the dual-SIF shows better convergence and robustness to disturbances.
