A Comparative Study on State of Charge Estimation using EKF and IEKF by Derouech Yassine, Mesbahi Abdelouahed

“…A battery with a management system can ensure this operation, the first target is to model the battery with a simple model capable of combining the various internal and external parameters that can affect battery behavior, then we develop the equations required to compose the two filters “Extended Kalman Filter” and “Invariant Extended Kalman Filter” in order to guarantee the estimation of the state of charge, which is a key element for the desired operation, and finally a MATLAB/Simulink simulation to compare the two filters, which reveals the IEKF filter’s performance in terms of stability and precision.…”

Adaptive Control Using Neural Networks and Approximate Models for Nonlinear Dynamic Systems by Khadija El Hamidi, Mostafa Mjahed, Abdeljalil El Kari, Hassan Ayad

“…The aim of this work is to make the output of the plant follow the desired reference trajectory. The problem becomes more challenging when the dynamics of the plants are assumed to be unknown, and to tackle this problem, a multilayer neural network-based approximate model is set up which will work in parallel to the plant and the control scheme. …”
