전기자동차의 축전지 관리 시스템(BMS : Battery Management System)의 잔존용량(SOC : State Of Charge)산정에는 Ah 측정법, 비중측정법, 전압측정법 등이 있다. 기존 전압 측정법의 경우 측정 전압을 프로세서에서 직접 처리하기 때문에 축전지의 미세한 전압 변화를 측정하지 못하여 잔존 용량 산정시 세밀한 계산에 어려움이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 축전지의 전압 측정 시 프로세서 전단에 전압의 부분 증폭회로를 추가하여 축전지의 미세한 전압변화를 증폭하여 측정하는 방법을 제안 하였다. 니켈수소전지를 대상으로 실험한 결과 충전 중 기존 전압측정법은 1.431V, 1.436V, 1.441V가 측정 되었을 때의 잔존 용량은 84%로 일정하였다. 같은 전압변화에서 부분증폭회로를 적용한 충전전압은 1.4297V, 1.4303V ~ 1.4352V, 1.4358V로 측정 되었으며, 그에 따른 잔존용량은 84% ~ 85%로 기존 전압 측정법 보다 약 9 ~ 10배 정도 세밀하게 측정 되었다. 제안한 방법을 통한 실험으로 제안된 방법이 기존 전압 측정법보다 세밀한 전압 측정 및 SOC산정이 가능함을 확인 하였다.

This study proposes an enhanced switching pattern that can improve energy transfer efficiency in an active cell-balancing circuit using a multiwinding transformer. This balancing circuit performs cell balancing by transferring energy stored in a specific cell with high energy to another cell containing low energy through a multiwinding transformer. The circuit operates in flyback and buck-boost modes in accordance with the energy transfer path. In the conventional flyback mode, the leakage inductance of the transformer and the stray inductance component of winding can transfer energy to an undesired path during the balancing operation. This case results in cell imbalance during the cell-balancing process, which reduces the energy transfer efficiency. An enhanced switching pattern that can effectively perform cell balancing by minimizing the amount of energy transferred to the nontarget cells due to the leakage inductance components in the flyback mode is proposed. Energy transfer efficiency and balancing speed can be significantly improved using the proposed switching pattern compared with that using the conventional switching pattern. The performance improvements are verified by experiments using a 1 W prototype cell-balancing circuit.

In this paper, a design of DC level shifter transmitting and receiving control and data signal which have various DC level through daisy chain interface between master IC and slave is introduced in the cell voltage monitoring (CVM). Circuit designed with a latch structure have a function to operate in high speed and for output of variable DC level through transmission gate. As a result of the simulation and the measurement, it was confirmed that control and data signal could be transferred according to the change of DC level from 0V to 30V. Delay time was measured about 170ns. but, it was considered as a negligible tolerance due to a parasitic capacitance of measuring probe and test board.
