摘要
Among various active cell balancing circuits, a switched capacitor circuit is promising because it can be implemented with low cost and small size. However, when the switched capacitor is applied in the lithium-ion battery, cell balancing speed is generally slow when the number of batteries is high. Therefore, this paper proposes the chain structure of the switched capacitor to increase balancing speed, particularly among outer cells. In this paper, the cell balancing principle of the conventional switched capacitor is explained, and the reason why slow cell balancing of the switched capacitor is shown in the lithium-ion battery is analyzed. To improve cell balancing speed, two circuits with chain structure are proposed. The balancing performance of the proposed circuits is confirmed by computer simulation, and a comparison between conventional and proposed circuits is presented. The theoretical analysis on the cell balancing speed of conventional structures and the proposed chain structure is also shown in this paper. Experimental tests were carried out to verify the validity of the proposed structures, and the experimental results show an improved balancing performance of the proposed circuit.
