Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage battery state of charge technology, specifically to a method for estimating the state of charge of an energy storage battery. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of renewable energy and the booming development of the new energy industry, energy storage batteries, as a core functional component of contemporary new energy technologies, are becoming increasingly important, and the market demand for energy storage batteries is experiencing explosive growth. In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have become the mainstream technology in the energy storage field due to their high energy density, low self-discharge, and excellent cycle performance.

[0003] In the field of energy storage, the state of charge (SOC) of a battery is a crucial parameter. SOC is defined as the ratio of a battery's current remaining capacity to its capacity in a fully charged / discharged state, ranging from 0% to 100%. A SOC of 0% indicates that the battery is fully discharged, while a SOC of 100% indicates that the battery is fully charged. SOC is an important basis for evaluating battery performance and usage status. Therefore, accurate and low-error SOC estimation is of great significance for decision-making in energy storage battery management systems, extending battery life, and ensuring battery safety. Currently, the main methods for calculating the state of charge (SOC) of energy storage batteries include the ampere-hour integration method, the open-circuit voltage method, the impedance method, and the Kalman filter method. These methods are all based on equivalent circuit models or electrochemical models of energy storage batteries. Therefore, the accuracy of the energy storage battery model has a fundamental impact on the estimation accuracy of the above methods. However, current methods for estimating the SOC of energy storage batteries only consider changes in ambient temperature, carbon rate, and charge-discharge cycles, and do not reflect changes in parameters within the battery across the entire SOC range. This leads to unavoidable errors in the estimation accuracy during the SOC estimation process.

[0004] In existing technologies, if the number of battery stages is too small, the parameter fitting will be rough and the error will be large. However, if the number of stages is too large, the computational burden will increase and overfitting will be more likely.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of energy storage battery state of charge estimation and maximize the capacity of energy storage batteries, it is very important to study a new energy storage battery state of charge estimation method with variable model parameters.
