Abstract

An accurate state of charge (SOC) estimation depends on an accurate battery model. The influence of nonlinear and unstable interference factors makes the accurate SOC estimation difficult. To obtain an accurate battery model, a method based on the NARX (nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs) recurrent neural network and moving window method is proposed. This paper improves the accuracy, modelling speed and robustness of SOC estimation from the following three aspects. First, to overcome the excessive reliance on the amount of data in the model training process, the NARX recurrent neural network is used to establish the battery model. NARX (nonlinear autoregressive with external input) recurrent neural network with the delay and feedback functions can keep the input and output of a previous moment and add it to the calculation of the next moment. Therefore, better estimation results are achieved using a small amount of data; second, the moving window method is used against the gradient explosion and the gradient vanishing that may occur in the NARX model training process. Third, by comparing it with other methods under different working conditions and different temperatures, the validity of the proposed model is verified. The results indicate that the proposed model has a higher accuracy and speed of the SOC estimation. The RMSE performance of the proposed model is reduced by approximately 65%, and the execution time is shortened by approximately 50%.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Ma et al. significantly reduced the window length to 50 seconds, resulting in a slight decrease in estimation accuracy but still within an acceptable range.

    “Ma et al. significantly reduced the window length, with the optimal length set to just 50 seconds, resulting in a slight decrease in estimation accuracy but still within an acceptable range[76,82].”

    From Advancements in the estimation of the state of charge of lithium-ion battery: a comprehensive review of traditional and deep learning approaches (2025) · cites this paper as [76]

    In IV. Results and Discussion (page unavailable), the paper compares variable window sizing with fixed sizes of 225 and 450, then adopts the variable-window model because it has higher accuracy. It does not identify 50 seconds as an optimal length or report a slight accuracy decrease; V. Conclusion (page unavailable) says the method improves estimation accuracy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Wang et al. improved SRNN with a dynamic window size that adapts to data fluctuations, reducing the maximum RMSE to 0.34%, outperforming the fixed window approach.

    “They improved this method with a dynamic window size that adapts to data fluctuations, reducing the maximum RMSE to 0.34%, outperforming the fixed window approach.”

    From Advancements in the estimation of the state of charge of lithium-ion battery: a comprehensive review of traditional and deep learning approaches (2025) · cites this paper as [76]

    The Results and Discussion section reports that the adaptive-window model achieved an RMSE of 0.34% under CCCV conditions, lower than the two fixed-window models. But 0.34% is not the model’s maximum RMSE across conditions: the same section reports higher RMSEs under DST and UDDS. The paper describes its model as a NARX recurrent neural network, not an SRNN.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
