摘要

电动垂直起降飞行器(electric vertical take-off and landing, eVTOL)动力电池在飞行任务中存在负载变化快、功率波动明显和工况持续时间差异较大等特点,对荷电状态(state of charge, SOC)估计的跨工况适应性提出了较高要求。针对公开eVTOL电池数据缺少独立开路电压曲线、脉冲功率测试参数和完整等效电路辨识条件的问题,本文提出一种面向eVTOL动力电池的多源迁移GPR-SOC估计方法。该方法以安时积分结果作为SOC先验,将容量构造标称SOC与先验SOC之间的偏差作为残差学习目标,并利用多个源域迁移高斯过程回归子模型进行残差预测,最后根据预测不确定度对各子模型结果进行加权融合。基于公开eVTOL电池数据的仿真结果表明,所提方法能够在保持安时积分长期变化趋势的基础上,对局部估计偏差进行有效补偿,提高目标域样本有限条件下相对于容量构造标称SOC的拟合精度。由于数据集未提供独立OCV标定或专门实验测量得到的真实SOC,本文报告的误差结果主要反映模型对容量构造标称SOC的残差修正能力,不能直接等同于实际BMS场景中的真实SOC绝对估计误差。该方法可为公开数据条件受限下的eVTOL动力电池SOC估计研究提供一种可复现的残差修正思路。

Abstract

Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) power batteries are characterized by rapid load changes, pronounced power fluctuations, and large differences in operating duration during flight missions, which impose high requirements on the cross-condition adaptability of state-of-charge (SOC) estimation. To address the lack of independent open-circuit voltage curves, pulse power test parameters, and complete equivalent-circuit identification conditions in public eVTOL battery datasets, this paper proposes a multi-source transfer GPR-SOC estimation method for eVTOL power batteries. The proposed method uses coulomb counting as the SOC prior, takes the deviation between the capacity-derived nominal SOC and the prior SOC as the residual learning target, and constructs multiple source-domain transfer Gaussian process regression submodels for residual prediction. The final residual correction is obtained by weighting the outputs of these submodels according to their predictive uncertainty. Simulation results based on public eVTOL battery data show that the proposed method can compensate for local estimation deviations while preserving the long-term trend of coulomb counting, thereby improving the fitting accuracy with respect to capacity-derived nominal SOC under limited target-domain samples. Since the dataset does not provide independently OCV-calibrated or experimentally measured true SOC, the reported errors mainly reflect the residual correction ability of the model for capacity-derived nominal SOC and cannot be directly regarded as the absolute true SOC estimation errors in practical BMS scenarios. This method provides a reproducible residual correction approach for eVTOL battery SOC estimation under limited public data conditions.
