ZCS sonant Convt Basd Paalll Balancing of Sially Connctd Battis Sting Ilya Zlts, Mmb, IEEE Pow Elctonics Dpatmnt afal Advancd Dfns Systms Ltd. P.O. Box 50, Haifa 3101, Isal. ilyaz@afal.co.il www.afal.co.il Abstact This pap intoducs a nw topology fo paalll balancing of sially connctd battis sting. Th main advantag of th balancing concpt is that ngy is tansfd only whn th s a unbalancd. As a sult, th pow losss a significantly ducd sinc no cunt ciculats though th systm whn balancd. This has bn nabld by a modification of an isolatd sis-sonant convt opating in DCM and fatus zo cunt switching (ZCS). Anoth attactiv fatu is that on tansfom fo two s is usd, as opposd to convntional isolatd topologis that qui a tansfom p. Th alization is simpl and quis simpl cunt polaity dtcto. Expimntal sults hav bn obtaind by a pototyp of two sis connctd battis, which dmonstats th balancing capabilitis of th systm. I. INTODUCTION Sially connctd battis stings hav bn usd fo many high voltag DC applications. Among thm, lctic vhicls (EV) [1], hybid lctic vhicls (HEV) [], plug-in hybid lctic vhicl (PHEV) [3] and oth batty powd applications [4], [5]. Du to manufactuing and nvionmntal vaiancs, dgadation with aging, intnal impdanc diffnc and thmal conditions, th chags tansfd to o consumd fom ach batty a not qual. As a sult, th liftim and fficincy of th battis sting a ducd. Moov, th ovchag of th battis in th sting can caus xplosion o fi in th cas of snsitiv battis s [6]. Thfo, a chag qualiz (i.., balancing cicuit) is ssntial to duc th imbalancs and consquntly to impov th ovall pfomanc of th systm [7], [8]. Sval balancing cicuits hav bn invstigatd ov th cnt yas [9]-[33]. Ths can b gnally classifid into two main catgois: passiv and activ. Passiv balancing fatus O Kishnboim, Studnt Mmb, IEEE, Nadav Dahan, Studnt Mmb, IEEE, and Mo Modchai Ptz, Mmb, IEEE Th Cnt fo Pow Elctonics and Mixd-Signal IC Dpatmnt of Elctical and Comput Engining Bn-Guion Univsity of th Ngv P.O.

Th activ balancing achitctus includ vaity of topologis such as switchd-capacito convts [10]-[1], isolatd and non-isolatd unidictional and bidictional DC-DC convts [13]-[4], and multi-winding tansfom-basd convts [5]-[7]. Th main challngs of th activ solutions oftn lat to implmntation issus such as high componnt count and complx contol algoithms [8], [9]. In addition, incasing th balancing spd is tadd fo quiscnt pow loss, i.. losss that xist whn no balancing action is quid. cnt studis hav potd impovd balancing schms that a basd on paalll balancing tchniqus [30], xhibiting high qualization spd whn compad to sis balancing tchniqus. On paticula challng of th paalll balancing is th complxity in implmnting lag aays. This has bn addssd by a modulaization concpt psntd in [31]-[34]. Th, n battis sting is dividd into M moduls, ach of thm is balancing K s so that n=m*k. This concpt has stablishd a solid foundation fo a paalll balancing achitctu, allowing high fficincy that is pusud in this study. Th objctiv of th study is to intoduc a nw activ balancing convt topology fo sis connctd battis sting, as dtaild in Fig. 1. Th concpt is alizd by a modification of an isolatd sis-sonant convt such that on tansfom is usd to balanc two s, ducing th complxity of th systm. Th convt opats in DCM and thfo ZCS is assud. Balancing occus only whn ncssay, i.. ngy dos not ciculat though th systm whn th battis a balancd. As a sult, th quiscnt pow loss is minimal. Th convt is contolld by simpl contol mthod and can b asily scald up and modulaizd. 978-1-4673-9550-/16/$31.00 016 IEEE 80

Th pap is oganizd as follows: Sction II dscibs th topology, its pincipl of opation and th majo fatus of it, Sction III dlinats th systm s implmntation and povids dsign guidlins. Expimntal sults and conclusion a thn povidd in Sctions IV and V, spctivly. V,1 S 11 S 1 S 13 T 1 S 15 S 16 S 17 S 18 II. PINCIPLE OF OPEATION Th systm in Fig. 1 can b dividd into m = n/ doubl- moduls, wh ach modul is constuctd of a top (oddnumbd s) and a bottom (vn-numbd s). Each of th m doubl-s is balancd using a balancing modul, built of a half-bidg loadd by a sonant tank in sis with th pimay sid of th tansfom. Th sconday sid conncts to th bus capacito via a full-bidg tansisto assmbly. Th bus capacito is th common voltag fo all of th m doubl- moduls and acts as a link that is usd to tansf ngy btwn th s. As a sult of th tansfom s isolation, ach of th n batty s can b qualizd indpndntly of th action in oth s, that is, no synchonization btwn th moduls is quid, and thfo th complxity of th systm is significantly ducd. Additionally, du to th tansfom s isolation, th voltag stss on th switchs is no mo than th voltag and is indpndnt on th numb of s in th sting. Th switching fquncy f s is st to b low than th sonant fquncy f (i.. f s<f ) to allow opation in DCM with ZCS. Th balancing action fo ach batty is dividd into two stps: cunt polaity dtction and thn dictional ngy tansf basd on th polaity. Th opation of th switchs is dscibd in Fig. fo th upp, assistd by th cunt and voltag wavfoms which a dpictd in Fig. 3. In th fist stp, switchs,, and a tund on at t=t 0, and main on fo t 0<t<t 1 ((Fig. (a), Fig. (d)), wh t 1<t 0+1/f, allowing bi-dictional cunt flow. Duing this intval, th cunt polaity snso dtmins th cunt diction in th sonant tank. Th cunt diction dpnds on th diffnc btwn th batty voltag and th bus voltag flctd to th pimay ( fo th unity tansfom atio). Cll voltag that is high than twic th bus capacito voltag (> ) sults in a positiv cunt i, whas <, sults in a ngativ cunt diction. In cas that th voltag quals twic th bus capacito voltag (=), i.., no balancing is ndd, th cunt is zo and no ngy is tansfd in ith diction. Th cunt polaity is dtctd by a snso at th pimay sid, as shown in Fig. (a) and in Fig. (d), that dtmins th conscutiv switching squnc in th scond stp. It should b notd that th switching configuation at th bginning of th switching cycl (t 0<t<t 1) is simila gadlss of th diffnc btwn th and th bus voltags, that is fo both positiv and ngativ cunt. In th scond stp, aft th cunt polaity has bn dtctd, th opation smbls a convntional sonant V, S 14 Fig. 1. Batty managmnt systm fo n sially connctd battis. convt in DCM.

It should b notd that tuning and off at a low, nonzo cunt (bfo t 1) futh allows ZVS at tun off. Th cunt mains zo until half of th switching piod t =t 0+1/f s. At t, tuns off and, followd by a shot dad-tim, tuns on (Fig. (c)). This dischags th sonant capacito with a ngativ cunt duing t <t<t +1/f and thn th cunt is discontinud by th body diods of and until th nxt switching cycl at t 3=t 0+1/f s. Fo a ngativ dtctd cunt at t 0<t<t 1, th opation is miod with spct to th and th bus sid. is tund off at t 1, as shown in Fig. (). Th switchs, a tund off and, a tund on (aft a shot dad-tim) at t (Fig. (f)). It should b notd that th switching timing can b loosly st. ZCS is natually obtaind by th body diods as long as th switchs hav bn tund off pio to th zo cossing point [35]. Simulatd typical convgnc duing balancing opation of th systm is psntd in Fig. 4, wh fou batty s (mulatd by lag capacitancs) hav bn pst to diffnt voltags. As can b obsvd, th s voltags convg to th avag of th initial voltags, validating th balancing opation of th systm. Th bus voltag convgs to th avag of half th voltag lvls of th s in th pack, and is givn by N 1 Vbus V, k (1) N k 1 To div th xpssions fo th systm s ky wavfoms and paamts, in th following analysis, it is assumd that th voltag (V ) and th bus voltag a constant and that th avag voltag acoss th sonant capacito has achd a 803

As a sult, th bus voltag apidly convgs to th half of th avag s voltags as in (1) which tanslats to a lativly small voltag diffnc V=0.5V - duing stady-stat.

IV. EXPEIMENTAL VEIFICATION In od to dmonstat th balancing action and to vify th analysis and simulation sults, xpimnts hav bn caid out using two lag capacitos (mulating th battis opation, in od to shotn th convgnc tim) as two s in sis. Tabl II shows th componnt typs and valus usd in th xpimntal pototyp. Fig. 8 psnts th masud wavfoms of th sonant tank duing th balancing opation. Basd on th pincipl of opation dscibd ali, th balancing tim is shad qually btwn th s. Th duation of ach -balancing has bn st to 10 switching cycls. Th pocdu is dmonstatd in Fig. 9, wh th sonant cunt and th capacito voltag a masud ov 0 switching cycl. Duing th fist 10 switching cycls th having th high voltag is balancd (i.. conncts to th bus via th convt), whas in th nxt 10 switching cycls th balancing is don fo th with low voltag. Convgnc of th sonant capacito voltag to th stady-stat valu can b obsvd in Fig. 9, suppoting th analysis conjctu that th majoity of ngy tansf opation is caid und stady-stat conditions.

V. CONCLUSION In this wok, a nw soft switchd isolatd balancing topology and opation mthod hav bn intoducd. Th cicuit is basd on a modifid sis sonant convt opating in DCM. Th nw balancing cicuit uss on tansfom fo balancing of two nighboing s and as a sult, lss magntic componnts a quid compad to oth isolatd topologis. Anoth significant advantag of th topology is th xtmly low quiscnt losss du to th nativ bhavio of th convt wh no cunt ciculats though th systm whn th s a balancd. Th balancing opation is facilitatd by a simpl cunt polaity dtction and dos not qui synchonization btwn moduls. Futhmo, th topology can b asily scald-up and modulaizd fo as many s as quid.
