TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of energy storage, and in particular to a DC-DC converter for automatically balancing energy storage cells. BACKGROUND
[0002] Series-connected energy storage cells are now widely used in portable electronic devices, household appliances, electric vehicles and other fields. There are inevitable tolerances between energy storage cells, plus uneven temperature distribution and aging differences, so the series-connected energy storage cells will gradually become unbalanced. When one energy storage cell reaches the boundary of the allowed operating range, the overall series-connected energy storage cell charging or discharging will be terminated, so that the capacity of the series-connected energy storage cells cannot be fully utilized. With repeated use, cell inconsistency will worsen, further deteriorating the group characteristics of the energy storage cells, and it is extremely easy for a small number of cells to overcharge or overdischarge, which will cause the performance of the series-connected energy storage cells to decline significantly, and in extreme cases may even cause a vicious accident such as burning or explosion, which greatly hinders the application and promotion of series-connected energy storage cells.
[0003] Therefore, in a series-connected energy storage system, an equalization system is usually needed to reduce the inconsistency between energy storage cells. The introduction of the equalization system can prolong the running time of the system, improve the utilization rate of the energy storage cells, prevent overcharging or overdischarging of the cells during operation, prolong the cycle life of the energy storage cells, and ensure the safe use of series-connected energy storage cells. In addition, in order to realize the energy flow in the energy storage system, a DC-DC converter is usually used to connect the series-connected energy storage cells.
[0004] For the above reasons, the energy storage system usually needs to be configured with an energy storage cell equalization circuit and a DC-DC converter. A typical energy storage system is shown in FIG. 1, in which series-connected energy storage cells B1-Bn are connected in series through a DC-DC converter. Figure 1A n The series-connected energy storage cells are charged or discharged through the DC-DC converter.
[0005] In the article "Battery Pack Active Balancing System Based on Bidirectional Flyback Converter", the authors Yinan, Liang Zhihua, Luoxin'er, etc. use a bidirectional flyback converter to balance the series energy storage cells. Each energy storage cell needs a magnetic element, and voltage detection closed-loop control is needed to balance. The balancing circuit proposed in the patent "Voltage Equalization Circuit for Series Energy Storage Device and Voltage Equalization System Containing the Circuit" (CN107800292B) needs to transfer energy greater than the difference between the energy storage cells, causing unnecessary loss. In the paper "A Low-Cost Multiwinding Transformer Balancing Topology for Retired Series-Connected Battery String," (IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, vol. 36, no. 5, pp. 4931-4936), the charging balancer is proposed by using a multi-winding transformer, which reduces the cost of the system while improving the efficiency of the system compared to the balancer using a large number of diode structures. However, when it is used in applications with a large number of series energy storage cells, it is very difficult to make a large number of high-precision windings on the same magnetic core. SUMMARY

The energy storage cell with a higher voltage will flow more current in discharging and less current in charging than the energy storage cell with a lower voltage. When the voltages of the energy storage cells in the series energy storage string are the same, the current flowing through each energy storage cell will be the same.
[0105] Like examples 1-4, example 5 can select a modular combination or a non-modular combination. In the modular combination, the switch device K0 and the switch device K j,i may be MOSFETs or IGBTs, or the switch device K0 or the switch device K j,i may be replaced by a diode; in the non-modular combination, the switch device K0 and the switch device K i may be MOSFETs or IGBTs, or the switch device K0 or the switch device K i may be replaced by a diode; therefore, there are six combinations in example 5.
[0106] Example 6
[0107] The circuit connection of the embodiment 1 of the application is shown in Figure 10A .
[0108] In example 6, the front-stage circuit is selected as type three, and the conversion voltage 2 does not use the modular combination. i (i = 1, 2, ……, n) represents an energy storage cell, and n is the number of series energy storage cells, which can be a battery or a super capacitor, and can be a single cell or a combination of series and parallel connection of multiple cells, which is referred to as an energy storage cell hereinafter; each B i is connected in series, which is referred to as a series energy storage string hereinafter; the switch device K0 and the switch device K i are MOSFETs; an external power supply can charge the energy storage string through the converter, and the energy storage string can discharge an external load through the converter; the turns ratio between the windings i of the multi-winding transformer T is 1.
[0109] The control method of the above circuit is that when the external power supply charges the energy storage cell string, the current schematic diagram of the charging process is shown in Figure 10B (1) and (2), Figure 10B The process in (1) is that the switch device K i(i = 1, 2, ……n) are turned off, the switching device K0 is closed, and the output voltage / output current of the converter is controlled by controlling the on-duty of the switching device K0. Figure 10B The process in the middle (2) is that the switching device K0 is turned off, and after a dead time, the switching device K0 is closed. i .
[0110] When the energy storage battery string discharges to the external load, the current schematic diagram of the charge-discharge process is as shown in Fig. 2. Figure 10C The process in the middle (1) and (2) is that the switching device K0 is turned off, and after a dead time, the switching device K0 is closed. Figure 10C The process in the middle (1) is that the switching device K0 is turned off, the switching device K i is closed, and the output voltage / output current of the converter is controlled by controlling the on-duty of the switching device K i . Figure 10C The process in the middle (2) is that the switching device K i is turned off, and after a dead time, the switching device K0 is closed.
[0111] When the voltages of the energy storage batteries in the series energy storage string are different, the average current flowing through each energy storage battery is different in the charge or discharge state. The energy storage battery with a higher voltage will flow more current in the discharge state and flow less current in the charge state than the energy storage battery with a lower voltage. When the voltages of the energy storage batteries in the series energy storage string are the same, the current flowing through each energy storage battery will be the same.
[0112] Like examples 1-4, example 6 can select a modular combination mode or a non-modular combination mode. In the modular combination mode, the switching device K0 and the switching device K j,i may be MOSFETs or IGBTs, or the switching device K0 or the switching device K j,i may be replaced by a diode; in the non-modular combination mode, the switching device K0 and the switching device K i may be MOSFETs or IGBTs, or the switching device K0 or the switching device K i may be replaced by a diode; therefore, there are six combination modes in example 5.
[0113] The various combination modes of the front-stage circuit and the rear-stage circuit, the rear-stage circuit can be combined with the three front-stage circuits at will; the front-stage circuit can be combined with a single module of the rear-stage circuit or can be combined with multiple modules; the switching device K0 and the switching device Ki in the front-stage circuit and the rear-stage circuit cannot be diodes at the same time; because the use of IGBTs and MOSFETs does not affect the characteristics of the converter, the IGBTs and the MOSFETs are not distinguished in the combination modes; therefore, there are 18 combination modes (see Figure 11 ) in the present application.
[0114] When the switching devices in the front-stage circuit and the rear-stage circuit are all IGBTs or MOSFETs, the converter can realize balanced charging and balanced discharging; when the switching device in the front-stage circuit is a diode and the switching device in the rear-stage circuit is an IGBT or a MOSFET, the converter can only realize balanced discharging; when the switching device in the rear-stage circuit is a diode and the switching device in the front-stage circuit is an IGBT or a MOSFET, the converter can only realize balanced charging; whether the converter can charge or discharge the battery is only related to the types of the switching devices in the front-stage circuit and the rear-stage circuit, and has no relation with the selection of the three connection modes in the front-stage circuit and whether the rear-stage circuit adopts a modularized mode.
