Validation of the State-Of-Function (SOF) algorithm and associated cell models are critical for battery management as they are responsible for optimal pack power utilization as well as safety protection and life. The SOF accomplishes this optimization task by communicating pack level operation limits related to power, current, voltage and temperature. These operation limits are, in some cases, estimated via parameters and equations derived from cell models. Correspondingly, any errors within the cell models will propagate into the model-dependent SOF limits. Understanding the source of errors and thus finding areas for improvement requires a visualization-based SOF validation strategy.
