Abstract

The main problems of existing SOC (state of charge) definition methods were analyzed, the concept of maximum available capacity was proposed based on the open circuit voltage (OCV) of a battery, and the battery SOC was redefined, thus the decoupling of a battery's charge/discharge capacity and work condition was realized. Through updating the maximum available capacity of a battery, the effect of aging on the SOC estimation accuracy was avoided. By converting the internal resistance voltage drop and the polarization voltage into the loss of discharge capacity, a method for calculating the actual available capacity of a battery or a battery pack was achieved, and its validity and feasibility were verified.
