Battery management system algorithms for HEV battery state-of-charge and state-of-health estimation

The battery management system (BMS) of a hybrid-electric-vehicle (HEV) battery pack comprises hardware and software to monitor pack status and optimize performance. One of its important functions is to execute algorithms that continuously estimate battery state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-health (SOH), and available power. The accuracy of these algorithms is critical for the proper sizing of the battery pack. Correspondence/Reprint request: Dr. Gregory L.
