영전압/영전류 스위칭을 이용한 고효율의 직렬 접속 배터리 전압 밸런싱 방법

Abstract

This paper focuses on the zero-voltage/zero current transition voltage equalization circuit for the series connected battery cell. By adding auxiliary resonant cells at the main switching devices such as MOSFET or IGBT, zero current switching is achieved and turned off loss of switching elements is eliminated and by the voltage/second balancing of the inductor, zero voltage switching can be applied to switching element. Transformer coupling between battery cells and ZVZCT (Zero Voltage Zero Current Transition) switching method allow the fast balancing speed and high frequency operation, which reduces the size and weight ofthe circuit. The validity of the battery equalization is further verified using simulation involving four lithium-ion battery cell models.
