Abstract
The Coulomb counting method is simple and effective in terms of state of charge (SOC) estimation of lithium-ion batteries. However, if the current measurement is not accurate, it will cause a cumulative calculation error, which will gradually increase with the time. And if the ambient temperature changes, the available capacity and initial SOC of the battery will also change. In order to solve the shortcomings of the traditional Coulomb counting method of SOC estimation, an improved method was proposed in this paper by taking into account the influence of battery temperature and aging on SOC. It can correct the initial value of SOC and the maximum available capacity of the battery more accurately, thus it solves the cumulative error problem, and improves the SOC estimation accuracy. A simple, accurate, and easy-to-implement method of battery SOC estimation is provided for the battery management system, which has practical application value.
