Abstract

A battery state-of-charge (SOC) estimator uses a robust H∞ filter design by taking into account the battery parameter uncertainties, which is due to battery age, variation, and operating conditions such as temperature and SOC level. Each of the time-varying battery parameter values and their variation rates are bounded. By utilizing the parameter variation bounds and parameter variation rate bounds into the design process and minimizing the H∞ gain from the measured current signal to the estimation error of Voc, the battery SOC estimator can achieve enhanced robustness to the variations of battery age, variation, and operating conditions that include temperature and SOC level.
