Battery State Estimation Error Isolation via Feedback Loop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery state estimation systems accumulate errors in measurement values, leading to deteriorated accuracy of State of Charging (SOC) and State of Health (SOH) estimates due to reflection of errors in sensor measurements.
Innovation Solution
The system estimates a first SOC based on open circuit voltage (OCV) and temperature, and a first SOH based on the estimated SOC and current, with a second SOC estimation using current integration methods, where errors in current measurement are only reflected in the initial estimation and not in subsequent reestimations, enhancing accuracy.

1Reliability
If the system repeatedly estimates SOC and SOH using sensor measurement values, then the battery state estimation function is continuously updated, but errors in measurement values are accumulated and accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the estimated SOC is fed back into the SOH estimation process, and the estimated SOH is fed back into the SOC estimation process. This creates a closed-loop system that continuously refines estimates while isolating error propagation. The key innovation is that when current measurement errors occur, they are detected and prevented from being repeatedly fed back into the estimation algorithms, thus breaking the error accumulation cycle while maintaining continuous estimation updates.
2Productivity
If current measurement values are used in SOC and SOH estimation, then real-time battery state monitoring is achieved, but errors in current measurement values are reflected in all subsequent estimations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by implementing error detection and isolation mechanisms before errors can propagate through multiple estimation cycles. The system monitors current measurement values and identifies when errors occur, then prevents these erroneous values from being used in subsequent SOC and SOH calculations. This protective measure is established in advance, cushioning the estimation system against error propagation while maintaining real-time monitoring capabilities using valid measurement data.
