Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for estimating a state of charge of a battery representing a non-linear characteristic by using a neural network. The apparatus includes a sensing section for detecting current, voltage and a temperature from a battery cell, a neural network performing a neural network algorithm and a learning algorithm based on data of the current, voltage and temperature transmitted thereto from the sensing section and present time data, thereby outputting the SOC of the battery estimated through a final learning algorithm, and a comparator for comparing an output value of the neural network with a predetermined target value and making the neural network iteratively perform the learning algorithm if a difference between the output value of the neural network and the predetermined target value is out of a predetermined limit, thereby update the learning algorithm to generate the final learning algorithm. The state of charge of the battery is precisely estimated through the neural network algorithm.
