Research summary

A simulation study of voltage–strain fusion for lithium-ion cell state-of-charge estimation, with particular attention to the flat voltage plateau of LFP cells. The work characterizes the information gain and optimality of fusion under correctly specified models, examines its sensitivity to strain-model mismatch, and evaluates a monitored parallel estimator that detects mismatch while preserving a voltage-only fallback.

Online State of Health Estimation of Lithium-ion Cells Using Approximate Weighted Total Least Squares

Jiayi Su, Zhimin Wei, Luodan Liu, Xiaojing Zhou
2026 9th International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Green Energy (CEEGE), pp. 165–170 Published
Abstract

A novel approximate weighted total least squares (AWTLS) algorithm for online state-of-health (SOH) estimation of Lithium-ion cells. By reformulating the weighted total least squares problem in a recursive form, AWTLS greatly reduces computation while explicitly accounting for uncertainty in both SOC and current measurements. On real road-charging data it outperforms OLS and WLS and matches WTLS accuracy, making it well suited for online battery-management-system implementation.

IFAC-PapersOnline / MECC, 2025
Abstract

A novel nonlinear reduced-order H∞ filter is introduced to estimate the speed and position of a two-phase PMSM with biased winding resistance, addressing modeling inaccuracies, temperature variations, and aging effects. Simulation results show robust estimation compared to both full- and reduced-order EKFs under model uncertainty.
