  • Patent number: 11255916
    Abstract: Method for monitoring a stable convergence behaviour of a Kalman filter (KF), which estimates states and/or parameters of an energy storage system, in particular a battery cell (BZ), wherein a covariance behaviour—provided by the Kalman filter (KF)—in terms of at least one state and/or parameter of the energy storage system is compared with a corresponding desired covariance behaviour of the state and/or parameter, wherein the Kalman filter (KF) is automatically deactivated for each state and/or each parameter of the energy storage system, of which the covariance behaviour exceeds the corresponding desired covariance behaviour.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11143705
    Abstract: Device (1) and method for detecting battery cell states, BZZ, and/or battery cell parameters, BZP, of at least one battery cell (BZ), comprising a dual Kalman filter (2) which includes a state estimator (2A) for estimating battery cell states, BZZ, and a parameter estimator (2B) for estimating battery cell parameters, BZP, and comprising a determination unit (3) which is suitable for determining noise components (n, v) of the state estimator (2A) and of the parameter estimator (2B) on the basis of a stored characteristic parameter behaviour of the battery cell (BZ), wherein the battery cell states, BZZ, and the battery cell parameters, BZP, can be adapted automatically to a specified battery model (BM) of the battery cell (BZ) by means of the dual Kalman filter (2) on the basis of the noise components (n, v) determined by the determination unit.
