Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to battery group equalization technology, in particular to a series battery group equalization circuit based on inductance and capacitance double energy storage elements. Background technique [0002] After the battery pack has gone through multiple charge and discharge cycles, there are roughly three situations in the distribution of the remaining capacity of each battery cell: the remaining capacity of some battery cells is high; the remaining capacity of some battery cells is low; The remaining capacity of some battery cells is high and the remaining capacity of some battery cells is low. [0003] In view of the above three situations, domestic and foreign scholars have put forward their own solutions. For example, in response to the high remaining capacity of individual battery cells, some researchers have proposed a parallel resistor shunt method, which consumes the energy of the battery module with a high remaining capacity...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, in response to the high remaining capacity of individual battery cells, some researchers have proposed a parallel resistor shunt method, which consumes the energy of the battery module with a high remaining capacity through the resistor by controlling the corresponding switching device. It is wasted in vain, and a lot of heat is generated during the equalization process, which increases the load of battery thermal management

Some researchers have also proposed equalization circuits such as bidirectional DC-DC equalization method and coaxial transformer equalization method. These circuits all use transformers, which increase the cost of equalization circuits.
