Passive and active battery balancing comparison based on MATLAB simulation

Battery systems are affected by many factors, the most important one is the cells unbalancing. Without the balancing system, the individual cell voltages will differ over time, battery pack capacity will decrease quickly. That will result in the fail of the total battery system. Thus cell balancing acts an important role on the battery life preserving. Different cell balancing methodologies have been proposed for battery pack. This paper presents a review and comparisons between the different proposed balancing topologies for battery string based on MATLAB/Simulink® simulation. The comparison carried out according to circuit design, balancing simulation, practical implementations, application, balancing speed, complexity, cost, size, balancing system efficiency, voltage/current stress … etc.
