Description
Summary:The state of charge (SOC) of a battery is a key parameter of electrical vehicles (EVs). However, limited by the lack of computing resources, the SOC estimation strategy used in vehicle-mounted battery management systems (V-BMS) is usually simplified. With the development of the new energy vehicle big data platforms, it is possible to obtain the battery SOC through cloud-based BMS (C-BMS). In this paper, a battery SOC estimation method based on common feature extraction and transfer learning is proposed for C-BMS applications. Considering the diversity of driving cycles, a common feature extraction method combining empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and a compensation strategy for C-BMS is designed. The selected features are treated as the new inputs of the SOC estimation model to improve the generalization ability. Subsequently, a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network is used to construct a basic model for battery SOC estimation. A parameter-based transfer learning method and an adaptive weighting strategy are used to obtain the C-BMS battery SOC estimation model. Finally, the SOC estimation method is validated on laboratory datasets and cloud platform datasets. The maximum root-mean-square error (RMSE) of battery SOC estimation with the laboratory dataset is 2.2%. The maximum RMSE of battery pack SOC estimation on two different electric vehicles is 1.3%.
