Abstract:

In view of the inconsistency between the cells of lithium battery and the difficulty and high cost of making the traditional half-bridge equalizer multi-winding transformer, a transformerless half-bridge lithium battery equalizer is proposed in this study, and the key factors affecting the energy flow between cells at high frequency are analyzed. Due to the use of phase-shifting control, shortest equalization path, and parallel equalization mode, the equalizer can quickly achieve simultaneous equalization between multiple battery cells. The equalization speed is fast, the equalization efficiency is high, and it is not affected by the number of battery cells in series,which makes the equalizer have the advantages of simple control, high equalization efficiency, high flexibility, and fewer switching devices. Based on the dynamic model of battery charging and discharging, an expression for energy balance between individual cells of the battery is derived, and verified by building a simulation model and experimental prototype. The simulation and experimental results show that the transformer free half bridge lithium battery equalizer based on phase shifting strategy can quickly achieve voltage equalization between battery cells.

Key words: lithium battery, half-bridge equalizer without transformer, phase-shift control, energy balance, energy flow factor, fast balancing, voltage equalization, series battery pack
