AI summary

A method includes: fitting, based on a battery parameter of a pulse segment, a target model parameter using a fitting algorithm, to obtain an initial fitted value of the target model parameter; inputting the initial fitted value into a fitting optimization algorithm, and performing, based on battery parameters of a rest segment and the pulse segment, fitting optimization on the target model parameter using the fitting optimization algorithm, to obtain an optimized value of an optimized target model parameter; calculating, based on the battery parameter of the rest segment and the optimized value, a first difference between a predicted value and an actual value of an open-circuit voltage; and using the optimized value as an identified target model parameter in a case that the first difference does not exceed a preset difference. The method aims to address an issue of poor parameter identification precision in related technologies.
