To ensure the safety and reliability of an echelon-use lithium-ion battery (EULIB), the performance of a EULIB is accurately reflected. This paper presents a method of estimating the combined state of energy (SOE) and state of charge (SOC). First, aiming to improve the accuracy of the SOE and SOC estimation, a third-order resistor-capacitance equivalent model (TRCEM) of a EULIB is established. Second, long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced to optimize the Ohmic internal resistance (OIR), actual energy (AE), and actual capacity (AC) parameters in real time to improve the accuracy of the model. Third, in the process of the SOE and SOC estimation, the observation noise equation and process noise equation are updated iteratively to make adaptive corrections and enhance the adaptive ability. Finally, an SOE and SOC estimation method based on LSTM optimization and an adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) is established. In simulation experiments, when the capacity decays to 90%, 60% and 30% of the rated capacity, regardless of whether the initial value is consistent with the actual value, the values of the SOE and SOC estimation can track the actual value with strong adaptive ability, and the estimated error is less than 1.19%, indicating that the algorithm has a high level of accuracy. The method presented in this paper provides a new perspective for estimating the SOE and SOC of a EULIB.

Owing to the degradation of the performance of a retired battery and the unclear initial value of the state of charge (SOC), the estimation of the state of power (SOP) of an echelon-use battery is not accurate. An SOP estimation method based on an adaptive dual extended Kalman filter (ADEKF) is proposed. First, the second-order Thevenin equivalent model of the echelon-use battery is established. Second, the battery parameters are estimated by the ADEKF: (a) the SOC is estimated based on an adaptive extended Kalman filtering algorithm, that uses the process noise covariance $Q_k$ and observes the noise covariance $R_k$ , and (b) the ohmic internal resistance and actual capacity are estimated based on the aforementioned algorithm, that uses the process noise covariance $Q_{\theta ,k}$ and observes the noise covariance $R_{\theta ,k}$. Third, the working voltage and internal resistance are predicted using optimal estimation, and the SOP of the echelon-use battery is estimated. MATLAB simulation results show that, regardless of whether or not the initial value of the SOC is clear, the proposed algorithm can be adjusted to the adaptive algorithm, and if the estimation accuracy error of the echelon-use battery SOP is less than 4.8%, it has high accuracy. This paper provides a valuable reference for the prediction of the SOP of an echelon-use battery, and will be helpful for understanding the behavior of retired batteries for further discharge and use.

State of energy (SOE) is an important parameter to ensure the safety and reliability of lithium-ion battery (LIB) system. The safety of LIBs, the development of artificial intelligence, and the increase in computing power have provided possibilities for big data computing. This article studies SOE estimation problem of LIBs, aiming to improve the accuracy and adaptability of the estimation. Firstly, in the SOE estimation process, adaptive correction is performed by iteratively updating the observation noise equation and process noise equation of the Adaptive Cubature Kalman Filter (ACKF) to enhance the adaptive capability. Meanwhile, the adoption of high-order equivalent models further improves the accuracy and adaptive ability of SOE estimation. Secondly, Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) is introduced to optimize Ohmic internal resistance (OIR) and actual energy (AE), further improving the accuracy of SOE estimation. Once again, in the process of OIR and AE estimation, the iterative updating of the observation noise equation and process noise equation of ACKF were also adopted to perform adaptive correction and enhance the adaptive ability. Finally, this article establishes a SOE estimation method based on LSTM optimized ACKF. Validate the LSTM optimized ACKF method through simulation experiments and compare it with individual ACKF methods. The results show that the ACKF estimation method based on LSTM optimization has an SOE estimation error of less than 0.90% for LIB, regardless of the SOE at 100%, 65%, and 30%, which is more accurate than the SOE estimation error of ACKF alone. It can be seen that this study has improved the accuracy and adaptability of LIB’s SOE estimation, providing more accurate data support for ensuring the safety and reliability of lithium batteries.

An echelon-use lithium-ion battery (EULB) refers to a powered lithium-ion battery used in electric vehicles when the battery capacity is attenuated to less than 80% and greater than 20%. Aiming at the degradation of the performance of the EULB and the unclear initial value of the state of energy (SOE), estimations of the state of power (SOP) of an EULB are not accurate. An SOP estimation method based on an adaptive dual unscented Kalman filter (ADUKF) is proposed. First, the second-order resistor-capacitance symmetry equivalent model (SRCSEM) of the EULB is established. Second, an unscented transformation (UT) is introduced and the battery parameters estimated by the ADUKF: (a) the SOE is estimated based on an adaptive unscented Kalman filtering (AUKF) algorithm, that uses the observation noise equation γ_k, R_k and the processes noise equation q_k, Q_k, and (b) the ohmic internal resistance (OIR) and actual capacity (AC) are estimated based on the aforementioned algorithm, which uses the observation noise equation γ_θ,k, R_θ,k and the process noise equation q_θ,k, Q_θ,k. Third, the working voltage and OIR are predicted using optimal estimation, and the SOP of the EULB is estimated. MATLAB simulation results show that EULB symmetry capacity decays to 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20% of rated capacity, the proposed algorithm is adaptive regardless of whether the initial SOE value is consistent with the actual value, and the estimation error of the EULB’s SOP is less than 3.28%, showing high accuracy. The results of this study can provide valuable reference for estimating EULB parameters, and help to understand the usage behavior of retired batteries.

This paper studies the speed control strategy of a switched reluctance motor based on angle-position control (APC). The switched reluctance motor has three control parameters: turn-on angle, turn-off angle and voltage PWM duty cycle. This paper studies the function of the three parameters and designs the control algorithms of the parameters, respectively, which can reduce the coupling degree, simplify the control process, and realize the optimal control of the switched reluctance motor. By studying the nonlinear characteristics of the switched reluctance motor, the optimal current waveform in the effective working range of the inductor is obtained, and then a control strategy of the turn-on angle is designed to realize the ideal winding current waveform. According to the torque characteristics of the motor, taking the coincidence of the freewheeling zero point and the position angle at the end of the maximum inductance interval as the control target, a control strategy for the turn-off angle that makes full use of the effective inductance working interval is proposed, which improves the efficiency of the system. For the nonlinear and time-variant switched reluctance motor running process, a data-driven model-free adaptive control algorithm is introduced, and a switched reluctance motor speed control algorithm based on voltage PWM duty cycle is designed. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a control strategy that is generally applicable to switched reluctance motors, which does not depend on the precise mathematical model of the motor. The control algorithms are designed separately for the three control parameters according to the characteristics of the motor, which reduces the degree of coupling among them. A switched reluctance motor drive system based on angle-position control is designed. This strategy is especially suitable for driving the load with sudden large torque pulsation.

The fluctuation and intermittency of wind power generation seriously affect the stability and security of power grids. Aiming at smoothing wind power fluctuations, this paper proposes a flywheel–battery hybrid energy storage system (HESS) based on optimal variational mode decomposition (VMD). Firstly, the grid-connected power and charging–discharging power of the HESS are determined based on the sliding average algorithm. Secondly, the VMD algorithm, optimized using long short-term memory (LSTM), is used to decompose the hybrid energy storage power (HESP) into a series of sub-modes with frequencies from low to high. Then, the state of charge of the battery energy storage system and the speed of the flywheel energy storage system are monitored in real time, and the primary power of the HESS is modified according to the rules formulated by fuzzy control. Finally, through a simulation example, it is concluded that the method meets the requirements of smoothing wind power fluctuations and gives full play to the characteristics of energy storage battery and flywheel energy storage to ensure the stable operation of the energy storage system. The method presented in this paper can provide a reference for HESP configuration and control operation strategy formulation.
