The usage of Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries has been increasing day by day due to environmental concerns. One of the major applications in which Li-ion batteries are used is electric vehicles (EVs). Li-ion batteries are highly sensitive to over-voltage, under-voltage and temperature conditions unlike other batteries. Li-ion batteries need real-time monitoring and a battery management system (BMS) is used for this purpose. This paper talks about active cell balancing schemes using transformer switching. Active cell balancing is done to balance the imbalances created in the battery pack to maintain a constant state of charge (SOC). A comparative study on pack-to- cell configurations of active cell balancing using switched transformer method is done to draw conclusions.
