Abstract:

Accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) and state of peak power (SOP) is crucial for ensuring the safe and stable operation of vanadium redox batteries (VRBs). To address the high errors and poor robustness associated with traditional estimation algorithms, this paper proposes a joint estimation method for SOC and SOP of VRBs based on adaptive unscented Kalman filtering (AUKF) and economic model predictive control (EMPC). First, considering the coupling characteristics of the electrochemical and fluid dynamics fields of VRBs, a comprehensive equivalent circuit model is developed to accurately represent the VRB operation. The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is employed for offline identification of model parameters. Subsequently, given the limitations of the traditional unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm, such as sensitivity to system noise, poor convergence, and neglect of dynamic battery parameters, an online parameter identification and SOC estimation algorithm based on AUKF is proposed. This approach enhances the model's accuracy by adaptively adjusting UKF parameters. Building on the SOC estimation results, the EMPC algorithm is utilized to estimate SOP, considering constraints including voltage, current, SOC, and electrolyte flow rate. The proposed SOC/SOP joint estimation algorithm's accuracy is validated under multiple experimental conditions. The findings of this research provide a reliable basis for predicting the peak power of VRBs under various operating conditions and for the precise scheduling of energy storage stations.
