Abstract
Monitoring the minimum and maximum states of charge (SOC) in lithium-ion battery packs is key to ensuring safe and reliable long-term operation. The challenge is that these SOCs cannot be directly measured and their corresponding cells within the pack may change with time. This paper proposes a novel hybrid scheme that estimates the minimum and maximum SOCs within a battery pack given by the series interconnection of equivalent circuit models. The estimation scheme relies on a mechanism that determines online two cells, which are candidates for having the minimum and maximum SOCs. The dimension of the hybrid estimator is independent of the number of cells, which makes it particularly attractive for large battery packs. Moreover, the estimator is endowed with robust, global convergence guarantees despite disturbances and measurement noise. Furthermore, Zeno behavior is ruled out as any solution to the considered system is shown to exhibit an average dwell-time. Numerical simulations illustrate the efficiency in terms of accuracy and computational time of the proposed estimator.
期刊介绍:
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.
After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.
Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.
