Charging balance management technology for low-voltage battery in the car control unit with combined power system

Abstract

The article presents the results of mathematical models and algorithms development complex, which is aimed at ensuring a positive charge balance of an automobile low-voltage rechargeable battery in car control systems with a hybrid power system. The aim of the work is to create and implement a set of software and mathematical models on one of the existing passenger car model, using the default components and systems of the car, to achieve a positive energy balance of the automotive low-voltage power network, and also to solve the problem of battery discharge by normalizing the turn-on time of powerful consumers leading to fast battery discharge. As criteria for the optimal performance of the proposed models and algorithms, the SOC parameters are considered - state of charge (%), battery charge (A * h), charge and discharge current of a battery (A), voltage on a battery during its charge when a charging current is absent or in a quiescent state (V), ambient temperature (˚C). Authors defined: composition of a control system, the necessary logic and a set of mathematical models implemented by electronic systems to control the charging balance of the automotive low-voltage power supply network, connections and functions of systems and components. As a result of a full-scale experiment, charge and discharge graphs, experimental data, current characteristics and dynamics of their changes during operation, experimental time-current dependencies during the operation of each component of a low-voltage power grid were obtained. The results of the work support to improve energy balance of an electrical power network, increase the efficiency and service life cycle of batteries, formulate system and technical requirements for control systems and their subsequent implementation. Versatility solutions are provided for improving management of charge balance car battery.
