The reconfigurable equilibrium circuit can take account of the number of components and the conversion efficiency and can easily balance every single cell in the battery pack, but the voltage of the battery pack will fluctuate when the battery pack is balanced. To solve this problem, a reconfigurable equalization circuit with an additional power supply is proposed. By replacing the cell with the additional power supply, the purpose of stabilizing the voltage of the battery pack is achieved. Aiming at the additional power supply, this paper puts forward a method that the additional power supply participates in the charging (discharging) process when the SOC (state of charge) of the battery pack is not lower (higher) than the additional power supply while the battery pack is charging (discharging), to make the charge and discharge capacity of the additional power supply always better than the battery pack. The experimental results show that the proposed equalization circuit can not only retain the advantages of the traditional reconfigurable equilibrium circuit but also maintain the voltage of the battery pack in the equalization process.

With combining the advantages of the hybrid excited synchronous machine and claw pole machine, hybrid excitation claw-pole synchronous machine (HECPSM) exhibits merits of controllable flux operation and independent flux paths. One novel wide range adaptive speed region control strategy is proposed in this paper, based on the analysis of the field control capability of HECPSM and the space vector control. Independent control methods of maximum torque per ampere (MTPA), space vector and minimum copper loss (MCL) control were employed for the proposed machine during three different speed regions in order to obtain satisfied performance in the whole speed range. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive speed region control strategy and drive system design were verified by simulation and experimental results, which demonstrated that the proposed control strategy maximized the range of speed regulation while exhibiting the high efficiency.
