An Active Equalization Technique Based on Flyback Converter Topology

Abstract

This paper presents an active cell balancing technique for lithium-ion battery stacks using a flyback dc/dc converter topology. The combination of batteries can be controlled according to the batteries voltages to implement the battery-balancing function. The operational principle of the proposed system is described in detail, then the paper develops different strategies adapting to different working status of battery pack and a series of bench experiments is conducted to examine the effectiveness of the equalization system.
