Abstract

Highlights: To solve the problem that BP neural network is easy to fall into local optimum. BP neural network based on levy particle swarm optimization is proposed to estimate battery state of charge. The accuracy of the algorithm is verified by using industry public data sets. It is valuable for electric vehicles. Abstract: The battery state of charge (SoC) of lithium batteries for electric vehicles is highly non-linear and time-varying. The convergence speed is slow and the accuracy is low when using ordinary neural network models for SoC estimation. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based on Levy's flight strategy (LPSO) is proposed to optimize the weights and thresholds of BP neural network, which would improve the prediction accuracy of SoC. According to the mechanism of lithium battery charging and discharging, voltage, current and temperature are selected as input vectors and SoC is selected as output vector. The comparison of the model before and after optimization is carried out by using NASA lithium battery charging and discharging data, which shows this method has better generalization ability and high prediction accuracy. It has practical application significance for SoC estimation.
