State of Charge Estimation for Off-Grid System Under Two Charge Controller Using Combination Methods

The state of charge (SOC) estimation plays important role in the battery energy storage system (BESS). Nowadays many semiconductor companies are paying more and more attention and investment to support many researchers to implement the state of charge for the batteries storage. the key to optimize the batteries storage is determine SOC value based on accuracy methods. a number of brief methods for SOC determination have been studied and compared with traditional methods the adaptive methods shown precise result because didn’t consider the dynamic effect of the batteries. In this paper, we use combination methods to estimate the SOC for lead-acid battery storage under two charge techniques namely Maximum Power Point Tracking – Plus Width Module (MPPT- PWM) when considering the effect of voltage drops on the estimation of SOC. The model uses the coulomb counting as an algorithm to determine the SOC and set it as a target in the backpropagation function in artificial neural network in MATLAB program (R2016a 64-bit (win64)). The simulation results show that the model is very precise to estimate the SOC in realistic operation.
