This paper presents a novel integrated control architecture for automotive battery management systems (BMSs). The primary focus is on estimating the state of charge (SoC) and the state of health (SoH) of a battery pack made of sixteen parallel-connected modules (PCMs), while actively balancing the system. A key challenge in this architecture lies in the interdependence of the three algorithms, where the output of one influences the others. To address this control problem and obtain a solution suitable for embedded applications, the proposed algorithms rely on an equivalent circuit model. Specifically, the SoCs of each module are computed by a bank of extended Kalman filters (EKFs); with respect to the SoH functionality, the internal resistances of the modules are estimated via a linear filtering approach, while the capacities are computed through a total least squares algorithm. Finally, a model predictive control (MPC) was employed for the active balancing. The proposed controller was calibrated with Samsung INR18650-20R lithium-ion cells data. The control system was validated in a simulation environment through typical automotive dynamic scenarios, in the presence of measurement noise, modeling uncertainties, and battery degradation.
