Charge equalization is important to reduce the damage and improve the lifetime of the battery. An improved control strategy of the equalization circuit is presented in this paper. The over-equalization technique has been utilized to shorten the equalization time about 25%. The hysteresis control is also been used to improve the robustness of the system. The simulation and prototype experimental results have proved the validity and reliability of the proposed control strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
