An Active State of Charge Balancing Method With LC Energy

1 Introduction. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in the power systems of new energy vehicles (EVs). Due to the low cell voltage and capacity, battery cells must be connected in series and parallel to form a battery pack in order to meet application requirements (Tang et al., 2020; Cao and Abu Qahouq, 2021; Xia and Abu Qahouq, 2021; Wang et al., 2022).

Active Cell Balancing of Lithium-ion Battery Pack Using Dual DC

The controller discharges the battery pack until the current SOC of most-depleted cell (SOC min) reaches to 30%. Similarly, the controller charges the battery pack until the SOC max reaches greater than 99% (~100%). Two flags CH and DC are used to determine whether balancing need to be performed in charging period or in discharging period.

Cell balancing buys extra run time and battery life

battery life in applications using series-connected cells is certainly undesirable. The fundamental solution of cell balancing equalizes the voltage and SOC among the cells when they are at full charge. Cell balancing is usually cate-gorized into two types—passive and active. The passive cell-balancing method, also known as “resistor bleeding
