Adaptive Ensemble-Based Electrochemical-Thermal Degradation State Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Yang Li, Zhongbao Wei, Binyu Xiong, D. Mahinda Vilathgamuwa

Summary: This article proposes a computationally efficient state estimation method for lithium-ion batteries based on a degradation-conscious high-fidelity electrochemical-thermal model. The algorithm uses an ensemble-based state estimator with the singular evolutive interpolated Kalman filter (SEIKF) to ease the computational burden caused by the nonlinear nature of the battery model. Unlike existing schemes, the proposed algorithm ensures mass conservation without additional constraints, simplifying the tuning process and improving convergence speed. The proposed scheme addresses model uncertainty and measurement errors through adaptive adjustment of the SEIKF's error covariance matrices. Comparisons with well-established nonlinear estimation techniques show that the adaptive ensemble-based Li-ion battery state estimator provides excellent performance in terms of accuracy, computational speed, and robustness.
