The invention relates to a
system and a method for estimating surplus capacity of a
lithium ion battery. The
system comprises a SOC (State-of-Charge) prediction module, an
ampere-hour integration module, a full-charge and low-
charge compensation module, an aging compensation module, a
self discharge compensation module, an open-circuit
voltage compensation module, a consistency compensation module, and a charging and discharging compensation module. The SOC prediction module regards a
voltage U, a current I and a temperature T as input, a basic battery surplus capacity SOC1 is calculated according to the
ampere-hour integration module and an initial SOC value. According to compensation values of the full
charge compensation module, the aging compensation module, the
self discharge compensation module, the open-circuit
voltage compensation module, the consistency compensation module and the charging and discharging compensation module, the final battery surplus capacity is calculated. The invention provides a practical, effective and reliable method for estimating the
usable surplus capacity for the
lithium ion power battery. And by the aid of the method, effectiveness and service life of the battery are improved, and after-sale maintenance period of a
power battery pack is lowered.
