As a powerful tool for real-time battery management, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) can achieve an online estimation for state of charge (SOC). The EKF, however, may yield biased estimates since the measured system suffers from the abnormal operation conditions, i.e., sensor faults, sensor bias and sensor noise. Thus, this paper proposes a robust extended Kalman filter based on maximum multi-kernel correntropy (MMKC-EKF) for SOC estimate when the system is subjected to complex non-Gaussian disturbances. To derive MMKC-EKF, a batch-mode regression is formulated by integrating the uncertainties of process and measurement, which is solved by using maximum multi-kernel correntropy (MMKC) criterion to suppress the influences of abnormal conditions. An effective optimization method is introduced to determine the free parameters of MMKC, and a fixed-point iteration method gives the state estimation. Then, the posterior error covariance matrix is updated with the help of total influence function, which contributes to the robustness improvement. In addition, a novel filtering scheme is presented for reducing computational complexity, which is beneficial for solving battery pack state estimation in practice. Extensive simulations are carried out for SOC estimate to validate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed MMKC-EKF in the Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributed process and measurement noises.
