Abstract
A method of estimating a maximum power limit of a battery cell at a specified prediction time using an improved RC equivalent circuit battery model and based on the battery cell's state of charge (SOC), temperature, and state of health (SOH). The method includes determining the battery cell's peak and continuous current limits, predicting a peak voltage after the specified prediction time based on the peak current limit, determining buffer values for the predicted peak voltage and the temperature of various battery components, setting a maximum current limit based on the buffer values, predicting a maximum voltage after the specified prediction time based on the maximum current limit, and determining a maximum power limit based on the predicted maximum voltage and the maximum current limit.
