A crucial step towards the large-scale introduction of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
(PHEVs) in the market is to reduce the cost of its battery systems. Currently, battery cycle …

A quantitative model-based comparison of ten active balancing circuits is presented for
equalizing imbalanced cell energies of lithium-ion batteries. A mean current model …

To reduce the charge imbalance in a battery system, a number of circuit modules are
developed and connected to the battery cells to form the battery equalization system. The …

This paper studies the problem of output agreement in networks of nonlinear dynamical
systems under time-varying disturbances, using dynamic diffusive couplings. Necessary …

This paper proposes the integration of the auxiliary power module (APM) and nondissipative
balancing hardware of a high-voltage battery. The proposed battery-balancing APM is …

Sharing transportation systems can significantly promote travelers convenience and
efficiency. As a vital part, bike-sharing system (BSS) has effectively solved “the-last-mile” …

Abstract Series connected batteries must have their cells balanced whenever charging and
discharging to extend battery lifespans, assure safe operation, and increase battery pack …

Cell balancing plays an important role in preserving the life of series-connected battery
packs; without a suitable balancing system, the individual cell voltages will differ over time …

We consider the flow control problem for a general class of compartmental nonlinear
systems, which can be associated with a graph whose nodes represent subsystems with …

This paper presents a primal–dual interior-point (pdip) optimization algorithm for solving
extreme-scale model predictive control (mpc) problems with linear dynamics, polytopic …
