Energy storage active balancing solution

What is active balancing?

In active balancing methods, SoC balancing is achieved by switching circuits to control the amount of transferred energy from/into the battery cells. Active balancing methods can be classified into energy redistribution (ER) methods and energy sharing (ES) methods [6, 13].

What is active cell balancing?

Active cell balancing is an optimal solution to achieve these goals, as it is the key to reducing battery heating and improving energy use efficiency. With active cell balancing, energy is evenly distributed among the cells rather than being converted into heat. It also allocates higher current levels as the energy is redistributed efficiently.

What are active balancing methods?

Active balancing methods can be classified into energy redistribution (ER) methods and energy sharing (ES) methods [6, 13]. In ER methods, low power circuits are employed to transfer the energy between the series-connected cells. Three type of ER circuits are mainly used.

Can active cell balancing improve battery efficiency?

Roman Bykadorov of Lemberg Solutions writes that active cell balancing can help mitigate battery management and lifecycle issues, but its application requires complex consideration. Improving battery efficiency offers multiple opportunities for your business, including cost savings, growing customer satisfaction, and increased sales margins.
