Modelling and Performance Evaluation of a Multiport Converter for Active Balancing of Lithium- ion Battery Cells
Abstract: In this paper, a flexible multiport DC-DC converter-based active cell balancing technique for Li-ion battery packs is presented. Cell balancing plays an important role in terms of safety, capacity utilization, and battery lifespan. For Li-ion cells in series configuration, the difference in voltages and states of charge (SOCs) leads to imbalance issues which might negatively affect their performance and shorten their lifespan. To solve these problems, the proposed technique utilizes …

Cell Balancing in Lithium-ion Batteries – A Comparative Evaluation
Abstract: Balancing the cells within a battery system is essential for safeguarding against overvoltage, overcharge, and over-discharge, which can lead to system failures and safety hazards. Two commonly employed methods for cell balancing are passive and active balancing. In passive balancing, excess charge is dissipated through resistors, while active balancing involves the controlled flow of charge within the circuit. This paper focuses on the comparison and analysis of passive and two …
