The initial capacitor voltage is equals to the sum of the two cells voltages. The high voltage cell (C1) is transferred the energy to the low voltage cell (C2) during the process of equalization. The process of equalization remains uninterrupted until both the cells equalized.
During equalization, the capacitor (k ranges from 2 to n) is alternatively connected in parallel with the two substrings and. The voltage stress of the capacitor is the same as the maximum voltage across the respective substring.
The working principles of the voltage equalization in both cases are the same as that of the conventional SC equalizer. Its control strategy is simple and additional cell voltage sensing system is not required. This equalizer can reduce the voltage and current stresses of the additional switches and capacitors .
In the process of equalization, the system control board collects the supercapacitor voltage data according to an equal time interval of 1 min and records them to the array. At the end of equalization, the monomer voltage curve is drawn according to the data of the array.
The voltage equalization shown in Fig. 1 (d) is achieved through isolated DC/DC modules , , , . The input and output of each module are connected to each supercapacitor cell and the whole series module respectively.
