Abstract

A secondary battery control system that conducts abnormality detection while predicting other parameters (internal resistance, SOC, and the like) with high accuracy is provided. A difference between an observation value (voltage) at a certain point in time and a voltage that is estimated using a prior-state variable is sensed. A threshold voltage is set in advance, and from the voltage difference that is sensed, a sudden abnormality, specifically a micro-short circuit or the like is detected. Furthermore, it is preferable that detection be performed by using a neural network to learn data on voltage difference in a time series and determine abnormality or normality.
