SOC Based Battery Cell Balancing with a Novel Topology and Reduced Component Count

Xu, Jun; Li, Siqi; Mi, Chris; Chen, Zheng; Cao, Binggang - In: Energies 6 (2013) 6, pp. 2726-2740

This paper proposes a novel battery cell balancing topology with reduced component count and simplified control. The balancing algorithm is based on the state of charge (SOC) of each individual cell instead of cell voltage. The principle of the proposed topology is analyzed and verified through...
