6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Lithium battery equalization measurement”

Why is active equalization control necessary in lithium ion battery?

According to the voltage characteristic analysis of the lithium-ion battery, when the SOC>80% or the SOC<30%, the voltage consistency is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to turn on the active equalization control so that the battery pack can charge and discharge more power, and improve battery energy utilization.

Can a capacity-based active equalization method improve battery inconsistency?

In improving battery inconsistency, Hein et al. provide a capacity-based active equalization method to improve the usable capacity of aging LIBs with minimal equalization effort, but the strategy based on remaining capacity is only applicable when the batteries are in a static state.

How does a battery equalization system work?

According to the equalization control scheme proposed in this study, the equalization system starts to work and equalizes battery packs in series. Bat4 has the smallest initial voltage and its voltage rise rate is relatively fast during the charging process, while the charging speed of other batteries is relatively slow.

Is there a bidirectional cell-to-cell active equalization algorithm for lithium-ion batteries?

Chen et al. proposed a new bidirectional cell-to-cell active equalization method using a multiwinding transformer. Hannan et al. presented a battery charge equalization algorithm for lithium-ion battery in EV applications to enhance the battery's performance, life cycle, and safety.

Is active equalization a good strategy for battery packs?

Therefore, the proposed active equalization strategy also has superior efficiency in real application. To our knowledge, this is the first work to achieve series-connected battery pack active equalization by fusion of data-driven residual capacity online estimation and global optimization-based equalization current calculation.

Can MATLAB/Simulink Support the equalization control scheme of lithium battery pack?

In order to verify the feasibility of the equalization control scheme of the lithium battery pack designed in this paper, the equalization control strategy and the equalization topology are integrated into the MATLAB/Simulink platform for charge–discharge and static testing.
