Embodiment Construction

[0016] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

[0017]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus for estimating a state of charge (SOC) in a battery in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the SOC estimation apparatus is comprised of a battery cell 10, a detector unit 11, a soft computing unit 20, a charger-discharger 30, and a comparator 40.

[0018] The detector unit 11 includes a current detector 12, a voltage detector 14, and a temperature detector 16. The current detector 12 detects current i from the battery cell 10 at a point of time k. The voltage detector 14 detects voltage v from the battery cell 10 at a point of time k. The temperature detector 16 detects temperature T from the battery cell 10 at a point of time k.

[0019] Soft computing is generically called a function approximator made by engineeringly modeling brain information transfer, reasoning, learning, genetic, and immune syste...

Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for estimating a state of charge (SOC) in a battery, in which the battery SOC is estimated using a fusion type soft computing algorithm, thereby accurately estimating the battery SOC in a high C-rate environment. The apparatus includes a detector unit for detecting current, voltage and temperature of a battery cell; and soft computing unit for outputting a battery SOC estimation value of processing the current, the voltage and the temperature detected by the detector unit using a radial function based on a neural network algorithm. Especially, the soft computing unit combines the neural network algorithm with any one of a fuzzy algorithm, a genetic algorithm (GA), a cellular automata (CA) algorithm, an immune system algorithm, and a rough-set algorithm, and thereby adaptively updates the parameters of the neural network algorithm.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 2005-50273, filed on Jun. 13, 2005, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for estimating a state of charge (SOC) in a battery, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for estimating an SOC in a battery, using fusion type soft computing. BACKGROUND ART [0003] In general, a state of charge (SOC) in a battery has a nonlinear characteristic. Hence, it is difficult to accurately detect the battery SOC in practice. As a result, the detection of the battery SOC depends on its estimation method. [0004] Examples of a conventional estimation method of the battery SOC include an amp-hour (Ah) counting method, an open circuit voltage (OCV) measuring method, a battery impedance measuring method, and so on. [0005] The Ah counting meth...
