Battery cell balancing fundamentals Battery cell balancing is an important process in BMS, playing a pivotal role in various applications such as EVs, renewable energy storage, and portable electronics. Its primary objective is to ensure that all individual cells within a battery pack maintain the equal SoC or voltage.
This is essential because manufacturing discrepancies and variations in cell usage can lead to difference in cell voltage and SoC levels. Without proper balancing, some cells may get overcharged, while others remain undercharged, resulting in inefficiencies and potential damage to the battery pack.
Individual cell voltage stress has been reduced. This study presented a simple battery balancing scheme in which each cell requires only one switch and one inductor winding. Increase the overall reliability and safety of the individual cells. 6.1.
The results without cell balancing indicate that the randomly selected cell does not contribute energy to the battery pack. This variation causes imbalance. This shows that not only does cell balancing help increase battery life, but it also helps make the system more efficient.
The BMS compares the voltage differences between cells to a predefined threshold voltage, if the voltage difference exceeds the predetermined threshold, it initiates cell balancing, cells with lower voltage within the battery pack are charged using energy from cells with higher voltage (Diao et al., 2018).
Consequently, the authors review the passive and active cell balancing method based on voltage and SoC as a balancing criterion to determine which technique can be used to reduce the inconsistencies among cells in the battery pack to enhance the usable capacity thus driving range of the EVs.
