However, the accurate estimation of battery state of charge (SOC), a measurement of the amount of energy available in a battery, remains a hard nut to crack because of the non-stationarity and randomness of battery capacity change. This paper has proposed a comprehensive method for lead-acid battery SOC estimation, which may aid in maintaining a reasonable charging schedule in a simulation substation and improving battery’s durability. Based on the battery work pattern, an improved Ampere-hour method is used to calculate the SOC during constant current and constant voltage (CC/CV) charging and discharging. In addition, the combined Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) model is used to estimate the SOC during non-CC discharging. Experimental results show that this method is workable in online SOC estimation of working batteries in a simulation substaion, with the maximum relative error standing at only 2.1% during the non-training period, indicating a high precision and wide applicability.
