Estimation Method of State-of-Charge For Lithium-ion Battery Used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles Based on Variable Structure Extended Kalman Filter

Since the main power source of hybrid electric vehicle（HEV） is supplied by the power battery,the predicted performance of power battery,especially the state-of-charge（SOC） estimation has attracted great attention in the area of HEV.However,the value of SOC estimation could not be greatly precise so that the running performance of HEV is greatly affected.A variable structure extended kalman filter（VSEKF）-based estimation method,which could be used to analyze the SOC of lithium-ion battery in the fixed driving condition,is presented.First,the general lower-order battery equivalent circuit model（GLM）,which includes column accumulation model,open circuit voltage model and the SOC output model,is established,and the off-line and online model parameters are calculated with hybrid pulse power characteristics（HPPC） test data.Next,a VSEKF estimation method of SOC,which integrates the ampere-hour（Ah） integration method and the extended Kalman filter（EKF） method,is executed with different adaptive weighting coefficients,which are determined according to the different values of open-circuit voltage obtained in the corresponding charging or discharging processes.According to the experimental analysis,the faster convergence speed and more accurate simulating results could be obtained using the VSEKF method in the running performance of HEV.The error rate of SOC estimation with the VSEKF method is focused in the range of 5% to 10% comparing with the range of 20% to 30% using the EKF method and the Ah integration method.In Summary,the accuracy of the SOC estimation in the lithium-ion battery cell and the pack of lithium-ion battery system,which is obtained utilizing the VSEKF method has been significantly improved comparing with the Ah integration method and the EKF method.The VSEKF method utilizing in the SOC estimation in the lithium-ion pack of HEV can be widely used in practical driving conditions.

The simulation results are provided for the comparison purpose and one data set is analyzed.

Local Hybrid Linear State Estimation for Electric Power Systems Using Stream Processing

The increasing penetration of renewable energy resources with highly fluctuating outputs has placed increasing concern on the accuracy and timeliness of electric power system state estimation(SE).Meanwhile,we note that only a fraction of system states fluctuate at the millisecond level and require to be updated.As such,refreshing only those states with significant variation would enhance the computational efficiency of SE and make fast-continuous update of states possible.However,this is difficult to achieve with conventional SE methods,which generally refresh states of the entire system every 4–5 s.In this context,we propose a local hybrid linear SE framework using stream processing,in which synchronized measurements received from phasor measurement units(PMUs),and trigger/timingmode measurements received from remote terminal units(RTUs)are used to update the associated local states.Moreover,the measurement update process efficiency and timeliness are enhanced by proposing a trigger measurement-based fast dynamic partitioning algorithm for determining the areas of the system with states requiring recalculation.In particular,non-iterative hybrid linear formulations with both RTUs and PMUs are employed to solve the local SE problem.The timeliness,accuracy,and computational efficiency of the proposed method are demonstrated by extensive simulations based on IEEE 118-,300-,and 2383-bus systems.

Intent Inference Based Trajectory Prediction and Smooth for UAS in Low-Altitude Airspace with Geofence

In order to meet the higher accuracy requirement of trajectory prediction for Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS)in Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management(UTM),an Intent Based Trajectory Prediction and Smooth Based on Constrained State-dependent-transition Hybrid Estimation(CSDTHE-IBTPS)algorithm is proposed.Firstly,an intent inference method of UAS is constructed based on the information of ADS-B and geofence system.Moreover,a geofence layering algorithm is proposed.Secondly,the Flight Mode Change Points(FMCP)are used to define the relevant mode transition parameters and design the guard conditions,so as to generate the mode transition probability matrix and establish the continuous state-dependent-transition model.After that,the constrained Kalman filter(CKF)is applied to improve State-dependent-transition Hybrid Estimation(SDTHE)algorithm by applying equality constraint to the velocity of UAS in the straight phase and turning phase,respectively,and thus the constrained state-dependent-transition hybrid estimation(CSDTHE)algorithm is constructed.Finally,the results of intent inference and hybrid estimation are used to make trajectory prediction.Furthermore,each flight segment of trajectory is smoothed respectively by Rauch-Tung-Striebel(RTS)backward smooth method using the proposed CSDTHE-RTS algorithm,so as to obtain more accurate trajectory prediction results.The simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can reduce the errors of trajectory prediction and the time delay of intent inference.

Fault Diagnosis of Nonlinear Systems Using Structured Augmented State Models

This paper presents an internal model approach for modeling and diagnostic functionality design for nonlinear systems operating subject to single- and multiple-faults. We therefore provide the framework of structured augmented state models. Fault characteristics are considered to be generated by dynamical exosystems that are switched via equality constraints to overcome the augmented state observability limiting the number of diagnosable faults. Based on the proposed model, the fault diagnosis problem is specified as an optimal hybrid augmented state estimation problem. Sub-optimal solutions are motivated and exemplified for the fault diagnosis of the well-known three-tank benchmark. As the considered class of fault diagnosis problems is large, the suggested approach is not only of theoretical interest but also of high practical relevance.
