Online Parameter Identification for Equivalent Circuit Model of Li-Ion Batteries Using the Eigenvalue Addition/Deletion Least-Squares Method With a Forgetting Factor by Takeshi Inoue, Daiki Komatsu

“…We found that this is caused by noise and the divergence term in the covariance matrix owing to the rank reduction. To solve this challenge, we propose a new method called “an eigenvalue addition/deletion MIFRLS” for BMS which removes eigenvectors with large eigenvalues from the covariance matrix to avoid the divergence term. …”
