High-voltage battery packs consist of series-connected lithium-ion cells and require sophisticated battery management systems (BMSs) to maintain safe operating conditions. Active cell balancing is an important task of a BMS, performed in order to improve the usable capacity of the battery pack by equalizing the charge levels of individual cells. With the emerging trend of distributed BMS topologies,...
This paper presents an approach to optimal dimensioning of active cell balancing architectures, which are of increasing relevance in Electrical Energy Storages (EESs) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) or stationary applications such as smart grids. Active cell balancing equalizes the state of charge of cells within a battery pack via charge transfers, increasing the effective capacity and lifetime. While...
This paper proposes a novel modular architecture for Electrical Energy Storages (EESs), consisting of multiple series-connected cells. In contrast to state-of-the-art architectures, the presented approach significantly improves the energy utilization, safety, and availability of EESs. For this purpose, each cell is equipped with a circuit that enables an individual control within a homogeneous architecture...
