A Simplified Fractional Order Modeling and Parameter Identification for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract With the widespread development of new energy, the study of power lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has broad prospects and great academic significance. The model and parameters are two essential prerequisites for LIB state estimation, which are used to provide a guarantee for the secure and convenient handling of LIBs. To obtain the reliable model and parameters, a simplified fractional order equivalent circuit model (FO-ECM) with high precision is presented in this article. The dynamic external electrical characteristic of LIBs is represented by the one-order FO-ECM, and then, the FO-ECM parameters are identified by the combination of Grunwald–Letnikov (G-L) definition-based factional order numerical calculation and noise compensation-based forgetting factor recursive least squares (FFRLS) method. The simplified FO-ECM can better characterize the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of LIBs, and the G-L definition-based FO-FFRLS algorithm can maintain good accuracy in the parameter estimation process. The results show that the simplified FO-ECM can improve the modeling precision and parameter identification performance compared with the common integer-order ECM in different test cycles.
