Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a voltage equalization circuit and a control method thereof, in particular to a circuit capable of equalizing the voltage between individual cells of a series supercapacitor bank. Background technique
[0002] The rated operating voltage of a single supercapacitor is low. In order to make it more widely used in the field of energy storage, a typical practice is to connect multiple supercapacitors in series to obtain a higher voltage. Due to the dispersion of the characteristic parameters between each supercapacitor, the voltage between the monomers of the supercapacitor bank will be unbalanced under normal charge and discharge or standby state, and the phenomenon of overcharging and overdischarging will cause permanent damage to the supercapacitor. And then cause the failure of the whole energy storage system. The voltage equalization circuit can equalize the voltage of each monomer in the module, thereby reducing the probabil...
