Abstract – In recent years, the energy crisis has become more and more serious. Li-ion batteries are used
in grids because of their benefits such as contributing to the intermittent generation of renewable energy
sources and stabilizing the grid. In addition, li-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles due to their
long cycle life and high energy density. Li-ion battery state of charge (SoC) is an important indicator for
safety. Therefore, the SoC estimation of li-ion batteries is important. Today, there are different methods to
determine the state of the SoC in many applications. The traditional estimation method, the ampere-hour
integration method and the coulomb counting method, has a cumulative error and cannot achieve good
results in a working environment with Gaussian noise. For this purpose, in this study, firstly, the Thevenin
equivalent model was created for battery SOC estimation, and then the Kalman filter algorithm was applied.
Thus, the estimation error caused by Gaussian noise is eliminated. SoC estimation was simulated for the
battery model created in the MATLAB/Simulink program using this method. Using these simulation
results, the charge/discharge characteristics of the battery were obtained. However, the SoC estimation has
been made for the charging and discharging processes of the battery. In the simulation, the charge value
was recorded for 6 hours. The data recorded every 10 minutes gave results very close to the true value.

I. INTRODUCTION
The world is threatened by the emission of
greenhouse gases from the use of fossil fuels [1].
One of the main causes of these pollutants is the
widespread use of automobiles with internal
combustion engines. The use of electric vehicles is
seen as a method to reduce these environmental
impacts [2-3]. For this solution to be effectively
implemented, electric vehicle prices must be
competitive with conventional vehicle prices. The
battery has the largest share in the costs of electric
vehicles [4]. In addition to electric vehicles,
batteries have recently been used worldwide to store
electrical energy for reasons such as grid stability
and energy crisis [5-7].
Since electrical energy cannot be stored directly,
batteries store electrical energy by converting it into
chemical energy. With the development of
technology, interest in battery systems is increasing
day by day [8]. Battery types have also started to be
produced in different types to meet the needs of
