Accurate estimation of the battery state of charge (SOC) is of great significance for enhancing its service life and safety. In this study, based on the fractional-order equivalent circuit model of lithium-ion battery, the SOC estimation methods using dual Kalman filter (DKF) and dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) are simulated and compared, in terms of model accuracy and SOC estimation accuracy. Then, combining the advantages of the DKF and DEKF algorithms, an SOC estimation algorithm based on adaptive double Kalman filter is proposed. This algorithm uses the recursive least squares (RLS) method to update the battery model parameters online in real time, and employs the DKF algorithm to filter the SOC twice to reduce the interferences from the battery model error and the current measurement error. In the experimental studies, the measured SOC values are compared with the estimated SOC values produced by the proposed algorithm. The comparison results show that SOC estimation error of the proposed algorithm is within the range of ±0.01 under most test conditions, and it can automatically correct SOC to true value in the presence of system errors. Thus, the validity, accuracy, robustness and adaptability of the proposed algorithm under different operation conditions are verified.
