US Patent 8738311 State-of-charge estimation method and battery control unit

A SOC (state of charge) estimation method for a rechargeable battery includes: measuring a battery parameter of the rechargeable battery; judging whether the battery parameter of the rechargeable battery is stable; if the battery parameter of the rechargeable battery is not stable yet, estimating an open circuit voltage of the rechargeable battery by a fuzzy control and expanding an established experiment data of the rechargeable battery into a 3D function by the fuzzy control; and calculating a time domain dynamic equation and converting into a SOC function, substituting the SOC function into the fuzzy control to estimate an SOC estimation value, wherein the time domain dynamic equation performing a time domain dynamic monitor.
