Abstract

Accurate state of charge and capacity estimation is crucial for battery packs in electric vehicles. However, the cell inconsistencies, computational complexity, temperature variations, and complex drive cycles all pose great challenges for the state of charge and capacity estimation of battery packs in field operation. This work aims to develop a framework for state of charge and capacity estimation of battery packs in real electric vehicles with few representative cells and physics-informed machine learning. By analyzing the battery data using a quantity-capacity diagram, the representative cells within the pack can be identified based on the relaxation terminal voltage online. Leveraging the physics information of batteries, the state of charge of the representative cells are monitored in a closed-loop manner. Then, state of charge and available capacity of battery pack are achieved based on the state of only two representative cells. We validate our method by evaluating its performance on the datasets of battery pack in real electric vehicles across different temperatures and drive cycles. The improvements of 83.60 % and 85.13 % in average root mean square errors can be achieved at real drive cycles under 30 °C and 15 °C. The results demonstrate that accurate and robust state estimation of battery packs can be achieved in field operations by utilizing the battery data of only two cells in laboratory conditions.
