abstract = {Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant attention
as a sustainable mode of transportation, emphasizing the
critical role of Li-ion batteries in their performance.
Accurate battery state estimation is essential for improving
the reliability and efficiency of EVs. To develop state
estimation algorithms, existing testing methods, often
primarily performed in laboratory settings under controlled
conditions, are utilized. However, these methods differ
substantially from real-world scenarios, posing challenges
in translating laboratory findings to practical
applications. Introducing the complexities of real-world
conditions, so-called field data acquisition is essential
for providing insights into EV operation beyond laboratory
tests. However, field data acquisition introduces
complexities such as uncontrolled operating conditions, less
accurate sensors, and concerns regarding data collection and
storage, including data gaps [1]. Moreover, the unknown
battery cell parameters within EV battery packs, if not
being a battery or EV manufacturer, pose additional hurdles,
particularly in simulating and predicting battery cell
states, such as battery cell voltage.In this study, we
employ a physics-based battery modelling technique,
specifically the extended single particle model (ESPM), to
simulate the battery cell voltage under various test drive
conditions, with battery pack current as input. The ESPM is
chosen for its ability to achieve a favourable balance
between accuracy, given the relatively low average C-rates
for EVs, and simulation speed [2]. A research EV (Nissan
Leaf) is used to perform measurements of EV states,
including battery pack current, (cell) voltage, and
temperature. The EV states are obtained via the OBD-II
interface using an AutoPi telematics device [3], which logs
and sends the data via mobile network to a server (in real
time) during driving.Before performing battery simulations,
a parameter sensitivity analysis was performed to identify
the most sensitive parameters of the ESPM model.
Subsequently, highly and medium-sensitive parameters were
prioritized for parameter optimization, while setting
low-sensitive parameters to typical average values obtained
from literature. The sensitivity analysis results are shown
in Fig. 1a and illustrate the impact of various parameters
on the model's performance. Following the sensitivity
analysis, battery parameter optimization was performed with
the highly and medium-sensitive parameters. For parameter
optimization, the difference between measured and simulated
battery cell voltage was minimized, while the battery
current served as input for the ESPM. The same was repeated
for various test drives under different conditions. Fig. 1b
shows an example of a comparison between the measured (blue
line) and simulated (red line) voltage of a battery cell
during a test drive, which highlights the model's ability to
capture real-world behaviour.These findings serve as a first
step towards achieving state estimation and forecasting
through model-based approaches under real-world conditions.
In the future, we plan to expand our research by performing
parameter optimization under a wider range of operating
conditions, aiming to optimize the robustness and accuracy
of our simulations. Additionally, we anticipate achieving
better simulation accuracy by extracting physical parameters
directly from batteries, thereby capturing the intricacies
of real-world behaviour more effectively.[1] V. Sulzer, P.
