Why are transient current distributions important in battery management systems (BMS)?

Particularly, if multiple-cell configurations have parallel strings, the transient current distributions and variations among the strings are of great concerns in battery management systems (BMS) to perform cell balancing and protection in the battery module or system levels.

How are cell currents measured in parallel connected Battery strings?

T.T., P.R.S., and D.J.L.B. acknowledge the Faraday Institution (EP/S003053/1). The authors declare no conflict of interest. Herein, individual cell currents in parallel connected battery strings are measured using micro-Hall-effect sensors. Cells are routinely connected in electrical series and parallel to meet the powe...

What are parallel Battery strings?

Parallel battery strings are used in most battery packs to meet the high capacity and power requirements of applications such as automotive traction. [ 1] For example, the Tesla Model S 85 kW h battery pack consists of 74 cells (18650) connected in parallel, and six of these in series to form a single module.

How to balancing a battery?

Number of cells: The balancing system becomes more complex with the number of cells in the battery pack. Balancing method: Choose active and passive balancing techniques based on the application requirements. Balancing current: Determine the appropriate balancing current to achieve efficient equalization without compromising safety.

Why do cells Rebalance after a charge/discharge?

After a charge/discharge, the state-of-charge (SOC) levels can be imbalanced due to the mechanisms described earlier. This results in the local potential of cell 1 being higher than that of cell 2 and 3, which drives the rebalancing current. Parallel string of cells with different SOC levels. Example of cell rebalancing after charge.

Can a circuit model predict spontaneous transient balancing currents among parallel strings?

Here, a useful equivalent circuit model was developed to simulate the spontaneous transient balancing currents among parallel strings in a battery system. The simulation results were validated with experimental data to illustrate the accuracy and validity of the model predictions.
