Abstract
In this article, an isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter with an integrated cascade structure is proposed for a centralized charge equalization system. Compared with existing architectures, the proposed converter structure is equivalent to the integration of polarity switches and a bidirectional dc-dc converter. Equalization of cells with different voltage polarities can be realized by controlling the working state of the converter, which further improves the reliability and integration of the equalization system. The integrated cascade structure can not only increase the equalization current and make it work in a continuous state but also achieve a high voltage conversion ratio to improve the efficiency of the transformer. Theoretical derivations of the converter and the conditions of soft-switch implementation are analyzed in detail. Finally, equalization experiments on a 13-cell lithium-ion battery string are carried out, and a quantitative and comprehensive comparison of different centralized equalizer is conducted. The experimental and comparison results validate the superiorities of the proposed equalizer and demonstrate obvious performance enhancement over the conventional method.
