APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STATE OF CHARGE (SOC) DETERMINATION FOR BATTERY
First Claim
1. An apparatus for battery state of charge (SOC) determination, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to;
cluster cells in a battery pack into groups based on similarity of sensing data among the cells;
select a representative cell for each group;
estimate a SOC of the representative cell of each group based on a battery model; and
determine a SOC of the battery pack based on the SOC of the representative cell of the each group.

Abstract
Battery state of charge (SOC) determination apparatuses and methods are disclosed, where the battery SOC determination apparatus includes a grouper configured to cluster the cells in the battery pack into the groups based on similarity of the sensing data among the cells, a representative cell selector configured to select the representative cell for the each group, a first SOC estimator configured to estimate the SOC of the representative cell of the each group based on the battery model, and a second SOC estimator configured to determine the SOC of the battery pack based on the SOC of the representative cell of the each group.
