System and method for correcting SOC of battery

1. A system for correcting a state-of-charging (SOC) of a battery, the system comprising:

an SOC measuring unit configured to measure an SOC value of the battery;

a storage unit configured to store preset operation ranges to determine whether charging/discharging of the battery is compensated;

a determining unit configured to determine an operation range corresponding to the SOC value of the battery among the preset operation ranges, the determined operation range being a range on which a dead band in charging/discharging directions is based, a frequency correction signal range corresponding to a range of the dead band in charging/discharging directions being used to adjust an amount of a power signal applied to the battery; and

an SOC correcting unit configured to selectively adjust the charging/discharging directions and charging/discharging power according to the range of the dead band and the frequency correction signal range, based on the operation range determined in the determining unit to correct the SOC value of the battery.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the storage unit comprises a first operation range, a second operation range, and a third operation range.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first operation range is about 70% to about 100% of the SOC value, the second operation range is about 30% to about 70% of the SOC value, and the third operation range is about 0% to about 30% of the SOC value.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the SOC correcting unit is set to correction values different from each other according to the operation ranges.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the first operation range in the determining unit, a first correction value by which a dead band is increased in the charging direction is applied.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the second operation range in the determining unit, a second correction value by which a dead band is increased in the charging direction, or the present state is maintained is applied.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the third operation range in the determining unit, a third correction value by which a dead band is decreased in the charging direction or increased in the discharging direction is applied.

8. The system of claim 2 , wherein the SOC correcting unit adjusts the charging/discharging power in an exponential or stepped form or at a predetermined ratio.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the first operation range in the determining unit, a correction value by which the charging power is decreased, and the discharging power is increased is applied.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the second operation range in the determining unit, a correction value by which the present state is maintained is applied.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the third operation range in the determining unit, a correction value by which the charging power is increased, and the discharging power is decreased is applied.

12. A method for correcting an SOC of a battery, the method comprising:

measuring an SOC value of the battery;

comparing the SOC value to preset operation ranges to determine an operation range corresponding to the SOC value, the determined operation range being a range on which a dead band in charging/discharging directions is based, a frequency correction signal range corresponding to a range of the dead band in charging/discharging directions being used to adjust an amount of a power signal applied to the battery; and

selectively adjusting the charging/discharging directions and charging/discharging power according to the range of the dead band and the frequency correction signal range, based on the operation range which corresponds to the SOC value to correct the SOC value of the battery.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the preset operation ranges comprise a first operation range, a second operation range, and a third operation range, and

wherein the first operation range is about 70% to about 100% of the SOC value, the second operation range is about 30% to about 70% of the SOC value, and the third operation range is about 0% to about 30% of the SOC value.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the first operation range, a first correction value by which a dead band is increased in the charging direction is applied.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein when the operation range is determined as the second operation range, a second correction value by which a dead band is increased in the charging/discharging directions, or the present state is maintained is applied.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the third operation range, a third correction value by which a dead band is decreased in the charging direction or increased in the discharging direction is applied.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the correcting of the SOC value of the battery comprises adjusting the charging/discharging power in an exponential or stepped form or at a predetermined ratio.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the first operation range, a correction value by which the charging power is decreased, and the discharging power is increased is applied.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the second operation range, a correction value by which the present state is maintained is applied.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein, when the operation range is determined as the third operation range, a correction value by which the charging power is increased, and the discharging power is decreased is applied.
