Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A state-of-charge estimation apparatus connected to a power storage device having cell batteries, and estimating a state of charge of the power storage device, the apparatus including a first SOC computation unit computing a current integration value based on a total current from a current detector detecting the total current flowing to the storage device from a power conversion device using a previous SOC value as an initial value, and outputting the integration value as a first state-of-charge estimated value, and a second SOC computation unit estimating, after discharge suspension in the storage device, an open-circuit voltage based on a total voltage on a connection point between the conversion device and the storage device, a previous value of the total voltage, and a gain with time passage after discharge suspension in the storage device, and outputting the open-circuit voltage as a second state-of-charge estimated value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A state-of-charge estimation apparatus that is connected to a power storage device constituted by connecting a plurality of cell batteries, and estimates a state of charge of the power storage device, the state-of-charge estimation apparatus comprising: a first computation unit that computes a current integration value based on a current from a detector that detects a current flowing to or from the power storage device from or to a power conversion uni…
