[0171] Where, k1 = 2CD / [D(1-D)(2D-1)T], k2 = 2C(1-D) / [D(1-D)(2D-1)T]. When the circuit parameters, PWM frequency and PWM duty cycle D are determined, k1 and k2 are constants;

[0173] The parallel balancing system based on the bidirectional CUK converter of the present invention selects the number of parallel equalizers according to the output voltage and battery capacity as needed, and can perform balancing operations by connecting two equalizers in parallel or multiple equalizers in parallel, so as to realize the balancing mode of any battery section to any battery section, such as one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many. The working principle of these modes is equivalent to the working principle of one-to-one balancing, and the charging principle is equivalent to the discharging principle. The first equalizer is selected to be connected in parallel with the second equalizer, and the one-to-one energy transmission process is analyzed. Because the structural battery series relationship does not affect the balancing process, the series relationship is not marked for the convenience of analysis. The general process is divided into the following two stages.
[0174] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of equivalent connection in a one-to-one balanced manner.
[0175] Figure 3 The first phase (t0-t1) of the system's operation;
[0176] In this stage, the power switches Q1 and Q2 are turned on, the inductors L1 and L2 are charged under the action of the input voltage, the second battery Cell2 is charged under the joint action of the capacitors C1, C2, C3 and C4, and the capacitors C1, C2, C3 and C4 are discharged under the action of the output current. The formula is described as follows:
[0177]
[0178] Among them, L in It represents the sum of the inductance of L1 and L2. o represents the sum of the inductance of L3 and the inductance of L4, C represents the capacitance of capacitors C1, C2, C3 and C4 in series, u c Represents the voltage value across the capacitor C, i in Indicates the input current, i o Indicates the output current, U in Indicates the input voltage, U o Represents the output voltage. Since the output current ripple is small, it can be regarded as a constant output current to discharge the capacitor C.
[0179] Using formula (1.1), we can solve for i in and i o Amount of change at this stage:
[0180]
[0181] In the formula, Δi in1 Indicates that this stage i in The change in Δi o Indicates that this stage i o The change in U c0 =u(t0), DT=t1-t0, T represents a PWM control cycle, and D represents the PWM duty cycle.
[0182] During this phase, the input current i in and the output current i o will flow through the switch tubes Q1 and Q2, so the current i flowing through the switch tubes Q1 and Q2 can be obtained respectively. Q1 、i Q2 And the voltage u across Q3 and Q4 Q3 The equation is:
[0183] iQ1 =i Q2 =i in +i o (1.3)
[0184]
[0185] Figure 4 The second phase (t1-t2) of the system's work;
[0186] In this stage, the power switches Q1 and Q2 are turned off and the inductor L in The capacitor C discharges under the combined action of the voltage and the input voltage, while the inductor L o The capacitor C is discharged under the action of the output voltage, and charged under the action of the input current. The formula is described as follows:
[0187]
[0188] In the formula, since the input current ripple is small, it can be regarded as a constant input current to charge the capacitor C. Using formula (1.3), we can solve i in and i o Amount of change at this stage:
[0189]
[0190] In the formula, Δi in2 Indicates that this stage i in The change in Δi o2 Indicates that this stage i o The change in U c0 =u(t1),U C1 and U C0 Has the following relationship:
[0191]
[0192] During this phase, the input current i in and the output current i o will flow through the switch tubes Q3 and Q4, and the current i flowing through the switch tubes Q3 and Q4 can be obtained respectively. Q3 、i Q4 And the voltage u across Q1 and Q3 Q1 ,u Q3 The equation is:
[0193] i Q3 =i Q4 =i in +i o (1.8)
[0194]
[0195] It can be concluded that the sum of the voltages of Q1 and Q3 is always equal to the voltage across capacitor C.
[0196] In one PWM cycle, i in and i o The changes should all be 0, that is:
[0197]
[0198] Combining equations (1.2), (1.6), (1.7) and (1.10), we can obtain:
[0199]
[0200] Ignoring the loss here, combined with the law of conservation of energy, that is, U in I in =U o I o , we can get:
[0201]
[0202] When the lithium battery SOC is between 10% and 90%, the battery terminal voltage changes slightly, so it can be considered that U o / U in ≈1, then equations (1.1) and (1.12) can be simplified to:
[0203] I o ≈I in =k in U in -k2U o (1.13)
[0204] Where, k1=2CD / [D(1-D)(2D-1)T], k2=2C(1-D) / [D(1-D)(2D-1)T]. When the circuit parameters, PWM frequency and PWM duty cycle D are determined, k1 and k2 are constants. Therefore, the higher the voltage of the single battery on the input side, the higher the corresponding balancing current, and the lower the voltage of the battery on the output side, the higher the corresponding balancing current. The autonomous current distribution is achieved through the synchronous control of each main switch.
[0205] In particular, when multiple batteries are discharged, different duty cycles can be given to each balancer to achieve independent control of the balancing current of each battery, that is, asynchronous control, thereby improving the balancing speed of the system.
[0206] In the case of asynchronous control, taking the first battery Cell1 and the second battery Cell2 as discharge batteries and the third battery Cell3 as a charging battery as an example, the many-to-one energy transmission process is analyzed:
[0207] S1, S4, S5, S8, S9, and S12 are turned on, and the other selection switches are turned off. Q2 and Q4 are the main switches of the discharge side equalizer, Q6 is always turned on, and the body diode of Q5 is used as the freewheeling diode of the converter to form a dual-input single-output CUK converter. The high-energy batteries Cell1 and Cell2 transfer their own energy to the low-energy battery Cell3 through the converter.
[0208] The asynchronous control method uses driving signals with different duty cycles to control the main switches Q2 and Q4 of the equalizers connected to Cell1 and Cell2 respectively, which can achieve quantitative control of the two-way balancing current. Combining equations (1.2), (1.4), (1.5) and (1.6), we can get:
[0209]
[0210] Simplifying (1.14) we can obtain:
[0211]
[0212] In the formula, k = 2CU0 / T. When the load of the converter is connected to the battery, the voltage across the battery changes slowly, so it can be considered that U o is a constant, and C is also a constant when the circuit structure is fixed. By using formula (1.15), we can get that when the duty cycle D∈(0.5,1), the input current I in It is positively correlated with the duty cycle D. Therefore, when the output voltage is fixed and the control period is fixed, quantitative control of the balanced current can be achieved by simply adjusting the PWM duty cycle.
[0213] When D1≠D2, if there are no auxiliary switches Q1 and Q3, the balancing system will be short-circuited, such as Figure 7 As shown. Taking Q2 as an example, when Q4's body diode is subjected to a forward voltage drop, that is, U C1 +U C2 >U C3 +U C4 , where U C1 is the voltage across capacitor C1, U C2 is the voltage across capacitor C2, U C3 is the voltage across capacitor C3, U C4 is the voltage across capacitor C4. At this time, the body diode of Q4 will conduct.
[0214] U Q4 =U C1 +U C2 -U C3 +U C4 (1.16)
[0215]
[0216] U Q4 is the voltage across Q4, I Q4 is the current of Q4, R p This is the total resistance of the loop. Since there is no resistive load in this loop, R p It is only the internal resistance of the device and the wire, which is very small and will generate a huge instantaneous current I Q4 Cause damage to the device.
[0217] To avoid this short-circuit situation, auxiliary switches Q1 and Q3 are added in series with the main switches Q2 and Q4 respectively. This pair of tubes structure can solve the short-circuit problem of the equalizer when different duty cycle signals are used to drive it, that is, D1≠D2, and avoid the back and forth transmission of energy in the balancing system, thereby improving the balancing speed and balancing efficiency of the system.
[0218] Take the first battery Cell1 as a discharge battery, the second battery Cell2 and the third battery Cell3 as charging batteries as an example to analyze the one-to-many energy transmission process:
[0219] The total discharge current of Cell1 can be controlled by adjusting the drive signal of Q2. If the pair structure is not used, the balanced structure is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, Cell2 and Cell3 can only be used as discharge batteries, and the balancing current can only be passively distributed according to the voltage, and quantitative control cannot be achieved. Figure 8 As shown, adding pairs of tubes Q4 and Q6 and changing the conduction time of Q4 and Q6 can quantitatively adjust the balanced current of Cell2 and Cell3. This proves the necessity of MOS pairs of tubes and the feasibility of current asynchronous control.
[0220] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a circuit timing diagram of the parallel balancing system based on the bidirectional CUK converter when it is working, and the timing control of the balancing system can be performed according to the timing diagram.
[0221] Taking the first battery Cell1 and the second battery Cell2 as discharge batteries, and the third battery Cell3 and the fourth battery Cell4 as rechargeable batteries as examples, the many-to-many energy transmission process is analyzed. Fig.10 As shown:
[0222] The discharge side drives the main switches Q2 and Q4 asynchronously to achieve independent control of the two discharge currents, and the charging side drives the main switches Q6 and Q8 asynchronously to achieve independent control of the two charging currents. It can be seen that in the many-to-many balancing mode, both the input and output ends can quantitatively control the balancing current of each path, thereby greatly improving the balancing speed and balancing efficiency.
