Online SoC estimation of lithium ion battery for EV/BEV using Kalman filter with fading memory

A novel algorithm based on fading Kalman filter to estimate the state of charge (SoC) of Li-ion battery used in electric vehicles is proposed and validated in this paper. Online identification of battery's electric model parameters followed by open circuit voltage estimation by fading Kalman filter resulted in accurate SoC estimation. The experimental results obtained from actual driving cycle in real-time reveal the robust performance of the proposed algorithm.
