Abstract

A processor-implemented method with battery state estimation includes: determining a state variation of a battery using a voltage difference between a sensed voltage of the battery and an estimated voltage of the battery that is estimated by an electrochemical model corresponding to the battery; updating an internal state of the electrochemical model based on the determined state variation of the battery; and estimating state information of the battery based on the updated internal state of the electrochemical model.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus with battery state estimation, comprising:
a processor configured to obtain a sensed voltage of a battery from a voltage sensor, estimate, using an electrochemical model, an estimated voltage of the battery from the sensed voltage, determine a first voltage difference between the sensed voltage of the battery and the estimated voltage of the battery, in response to the first voltage difference being greater than a threshold voltage difference, determine a correction method of correcting an internal state of the electrochemical model, in response to the first voltage difference being less than or equal to the threshold voltage difference, determine a correction method of correcting a sensed current to be input to the electrochemical model, to apply the determined correction method to the electrochemical model, and estimate state information of the battery using the electrochemical model to which the determined correction method is applied.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to
update the internal state of the electrochemical model using a state variation of the battery determined by the first voltage difference between a voltage of the battery sensed in a current time period and a voltage of the battery estimated by the electrochemical model; or correct a sensed current of the battery in the current time period to be input to the electrochemical model using a capacity error corresponding to a second voltage difference between a sensed voltage of the battery in a previous time period and an estimated voltage of the battery in the previous time period.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the correction method of the electrochemical model such that the correction method of correcting the sensed current to be input to the electrochemical model is to be performed more frequently than a correction method of correcting the internal state of the electrochemical model.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform a cell balancing based on a result of the estimating state information of the battery.

5 . An apparatus with battery state estimation, comprising:
a processor configured to obtain a sensed voltage of a battery from a voltage sensor, estimate, using an electrochemical model, an estimated voltage of the battery from the sensed voltage, determine a first voltage difference between the sensed voltage of the battery and the estimated voltage of the battery, determine one of a plurality of correction methods of the electrochemical model based on a result of comparing the first voltage difference to a threshold voltage difference, depending on the determined correction method, correct an internal state of the electrochemical model or correcting a sensed current to be input to the electrochemical model, by applying the determined correction method to the electrochemical model, and estimate state information of the battery using the electrochemical model to which the determined correction method is applied, wherein the processor is further configured to determine the correction method of the electrochemical model such that the correction method of correcting the sensed current to be input to the electrochemical model is to be performed more frequently than a correction method of correcting the internal state of the electrochemical model.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the determining of the correction method of the electrochemical model based on the first voltage difference comprises:
in response to the first voltage difference being greater than the threshold voltage difference, selecting a correction method of correcting the internal state of the electrochemical model; and in response to the first voltage difference being less than or equal to the threshold voltage difference, selecting a correction method of correcting the sensed current to be input to the electrochemical model.
