Abstract: In order to estimate the State-Of-Charge (SOC) of automobile power lithium-ion battery online, an Unscented Kalman Filtering (UKF) algorithm was proposed combined with neural network. First of all, Thevenin circuit was treated as an equivalent circuit, the state space representation of the battery model was established and the least square method was applied to identify the parameters of model. Then on this basis, the neural network algorithm was expected to fit the functional relationships between SOC of battery and model parameters respectively. After many experiments, the convergence curve of the neural network algorithm was determined. The proposed method was more accurate than the traditional curve fitting. In addition, the Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) principle and the UKF principle were introduced separately and some tests were designed including the validation experiment of battery equivalent circuit model, the test experiment of SOC and the convergence experiment of the algorithms. The experimental results show that, the proposed method which can be used for SOC estimation online has higher estimation precision and stronger environmental adaptability than simple extended Kalman filtering algorithm under different conditions, its maximum error is less than 4%. Finally, the proposed algorithm combining UKF and neural network has better convergence and robustness, which can be used to solve the problems of inaccurate estimation of initial value and cumulative error effectively.
