Abstract
The automotive industry is fast evolving to Li-ion chemistries, which have more favorable power, energy density, and efficiency. To meet the demands of greater electric ranges, parallel strings of batteries are required to increase the overall system capacity. Differences in chemical characteristics, internal resistance, and operating conditions can cause variations in remaining cell capacity, decreasing the total battery storage capacity over time, shortening the battery lifetime and eventually damaging the cells. Cell equalization tries to restore all the cells in the pack to an equal state of charge in order to prolong the battery lifetime and to ensure safe battery operations. This work presents an active charge equalization scheme with a flying capacitor to shuttle charge between the unbalanced cells in a parallel battery pack. The theoretical framework is accompanied by MATLAB simulations on a twelve cell pack in series/parallel configuration supporting the validity of the chosen approach.
