A State of Charge Estimation Approach Based on Fractional Order Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter for Lithium-ion Batteries

Abstract

This paper focuses on the state of charge (SOC) estimation of a lithium-ion battery in electric vehicles (EVs) based on a fractional order adaptive extended Kalman filter (FOAEKF). First, a fractional order model (FOM) is introduced to describe the physical behavior of the battery. Then, the parameters of the FOM are identified by a genetic algorithm. The efficiency of the FOM is verified by comparing with the integral order one. After that, a FOAEKF algorithm is developed to deal with the state estimation problem of the FOM. Finally, two dynamic operation conditions are given to show the efficiency of the FOAEKF by comparing with the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for FOM and the adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for integral order one.
