초록

본 논문에서는 제안하는 계단충전방식에서는 직렬로 연결된 전지에 있어서 각 전지의 $\Delta$V=0 시점이 서로 다름을 고려하여 각 전지별로 선택적으로 충전단계를 절환시킴으로써 과충전 또는 부족충전을 예방할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 각 단계의 초기에 전지간의 잔존용량의 불균등을 해소하기 위해 시분할 균등충전모드를 추가하였다. 기존의 계단충전방식에 비해 선택적 충전단계절환을 위한 간단한 회로가 추가되지만 과충전과 부족충전을 예방하므로 전지수명과 충전효율을 개선시킬 수 있다.

In this paper, the proposed charging system consists of step charging mode and time-sharing equalization charging mode. As $\Delta$V=O point is detected, the proposed cut-off method will selectively cut off the only battery to reach the $\Delta$V=O point, preventing serial-connected batteries from undercharging. In the start of each step, the equalization charging mode is performed to reduce the capacity difference among the batteries. Though it is added to simple circuit for selective cut-off, comparing with recently used step-charging method, this system can improve the life cycle of battery and charging efficiency, and be also very effective for preventing the batteries from overcharging and undercharging.
