| Summary: | Supercapacitors (SCs) are increasingly recognized as a reliable energy storage solution in various industrial applications due to their high power density and exceptionally long lifespan. SC-powered systems demand precise parameter identification to enable effective energy management. Although various approaches exist for the offline identification of SCs, some parameters depend on factors such as state of health (SoH), aging, temperature, and their combination. Consequently, the variation in parameter values under different conditions highlights the importance of online identification based on a dynamic model structure. Among various SC models proposed in the literature, fractional-order models offer greater accuracy, making them a superior choice for SC modeling. However, the conventional formulation in these models requires a very long window of samples and coefficients for filter implementation. Additionally, due to the several orders of magnitude difference in the elements of matrices, numerical instability can arise, leading to errors and drift in the final calculations. In this paper, a novel online identification approach is introduced for differential order estimation in fractional-order SC models. The proposed method significantly shortens the long window while maintaining accuracy, making it feasible for implementation in low-cost microcontrollers and a viable solution for real-world applications. In addition, the proposed method addresses the drift error by applying online least squares error estimation that aligns it with its offline estimated value. |
