Nowadays, multi-MHz wireless power transfer (WPT) system has received a great concern of study due to its desirable characteristics such as user convenience, system compact and better safety as compared to the conventional DC-DC with cord. This paper presents a solution for WPT Lithium Batteries charger with Constant Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) charging process. The proposed system consists of a high frequency class D power amplifier, a pair of PCB coil, transformable high-order resonant network and a full-bridge rectifier. The charger can be implemented CC /CV charging profile thanks to automatic reconfigurable resonant compensator. Therefore, the battery can be fully charged without the help of an additional DC/DC converter. The simulation and 50W-6.78-MHz hardware experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed method and to evaluate the performance of the proposed wireless battery charger.

Lithium-ion batteries have a small volume, light weight and high energy density, maximizing the utilization of mobile devices. It is widely used for various purposes such as electric bicycles and scooters (e-Mobility), mass energy storage (ESS), and electric and hybrid vehicles. To date, lithium-ion batteries have grown to focus on increasing energy density and reducing production costs in line with the required capacity. However, the research and development level of lithium-ion batteries seems to have reached the limit in terms of energy density. In addition, the charging time is an important factor for using lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it was urgent to develop a high-speed charger to shorten the charging time. In this thesis, a discharger was fabricated to evaluate the capacity and characteristics of Li-ion battery pack which can be used for e-mobility. To achieve this, a smart discharger is designed with a combination of active load, current sensor, and temperature sensor. To carry out this thesis, an active load switching using sensor control circuit, signal processing circuit, and FET was designed and manufactured as hardware with the characteristics of active discharger. And as software for controlling the hardware of the active discharger, a Raspberry Pi control device and a touch screen program were designed. The developed discharger is designed to change the 600W capacity battery in the form of active load.

This study conducted a study on a small-capacity PCS using lithium-ion batteries used in personal mobility. Most of the batteries in Personal Mobility only charge with external chargers and are used only as mobile energy sources. However, this paper aims to charge the battery of PM using PV and system power or to use the charged power as a stand-alone power supply. The developed PCS can be operated as a two-channel battery charger/discharger, a battery charger using solar power, and a stand-alone solar inverter depending on the operation method. The validity of the manufactured small-capacity PCS was verified through experiments.

최근 리튬이온전지를 채용한 노트북 PC의 수요는 계속 증가하고 있으며, 노트북 PC용 전지로는 잔존용량과 사용가능 시간을 정확하게 예측하며, 스스로 최적조건으로 충방전을 제어할 수 있는 SBP(smart battery pack)를 많이 채용하고 있다. SBP는 과충전, 과방전 및 과전류로부터 리튬이온전지의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 보호회로부 (protection IC)와 잔존용량 및 사용가능시간 등의 계산을 위한 지능회로부 (smart IC)로 구성되어있다. 보호회로는 충전 및 방전 FET를 이용하여 이상전류를 차단하며, SBS(smart battery system)는 system host, smart battery 및 smart battery charger로 구성되어 있다. 향후, SBP에 사용되는 IC는 저가이면서, 소비전류가 낮고, 소형화가 요구된다. 또한, microcomputer control type의 IC를 사용하고, 최적의 알고리즘을 개발하여 잔존용량 및 사용가능시간을 정확하게 예측할 필요가 있다. 이러한 SBS 기술은 노트북 PC 이외에도 전기자전거, 전기자동차, 전력저장용, 군사분야 등 광범위한 분야에서 사용될 것으로 예상된다.

A lithium polymer battery-based 9 kJ/s high-voltage capacitor charger, which comprises two stages, is proposed. A modified LCC resonant converter and resonant circuit are introduced at the first and second stages, respectively. In the first stage, the methods for handling low-voltage and high-current batteries are considered. Delta-wye three-phase transformers are used to generate a high output voltage through the difference between the phase and line-to-line voltages. Another method is placing the series resonant capacitor of the LCC resonant components on the transformer secondary side, which conducts considerably low current compared with the transformer primary side. On the basis of the stable operation of the first charging stage, the secondary charging stage generates final output voltage by using the resonance. This additional stage protects the rectifying diodes from the negative voltage when the output capacitor is discharged for a short time. The inductance and capacitance of the resonance components are selected by considering the resonance charging time. The design procedure for each stage with the aforementioned features is suggested, and its performance is verified by not only simulation but also experimental results.

Lithium-ion cells have become the go-to energy source across all applications; however, dendritic growth remains an issue to tackle. While there have been various research conducted and possible solutions offered, there is yet to be one that efficiently rules out the problem without, however, introducing another. This paper seeks to present a fast charging method and system to which lithium-ion batteries are charged while maintaining their lifetime. In the proposed method, various lithium cells are charged under multiple profiles. The parameters of charge profiles that inflict damage to the cell's electrodes are obtained and used as thresholds. Thus, during charging, voltage, current, and temperature are actively controlled under these thresholds. In this way, dendrite formation suppressed charging is achieved, and battery life is maintained. The fast-charging system designed, comprises of a 1.5kW charger, an inbuilt 600W battery pack, and an intelligent BMS with cell balancing technology. The system was also designed to respond to the aging of the battery to provide adequate threshold values. Among other tests conducted by KCTL, the cycle test result showed a capacity drop of only 0.68% after 500 cycles, thereby proving the life maintaining capability of the proposed method and system.

Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) method becomes more and more popular for the Electric Vehicle (EV) battery charger due to its convenience and safety in comparison with plugged-in charger. In recent years, Lithium batteries are increasingly used in EVs and Constant Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV) charge needs to be adopted for the high efficiency charge. However, it is not easy to design the IPT Battery Charger which can charge the battery with CC/CV charge under the wide range of load variation due to the wide range of variation in its operating frequency. This paper propose a new design and control method which makes it possible to implement the CC/CV mode charge with minimum frequency variation (less than 1kHz) during all over the charge process. A 6.6kW prototype charge has been implemented and 96.1% efficiency was achieved with 20cm air gap between the coils.

리튬이온 배터리는 낮은 자체 방전율 특성과 고밀도 에너지 저장장치로 다양하게 응용되고 있으며, 단위 셀 배터리의 전압은 4V 보다 낮아, 직렬로 연결하여 사용해야 하는 것이 일반적이다. 배터리 셀전압의 직렬 연결 동작시, 각각의 단위 셀 배터리는 내부저항이 균일하지 않아, 충전 시, 특정 단위 셀 배터리는 4V 이상이 걸려, 폭발이 발생할 수도 있으며, 또한, 방전 시 배터리의 특성을 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 한계 전압 이하가 되는 심각한 문제가 존재한다. 따라서, 단위 셀 배터리의 충전 및 방전 동작에서는 과충전과 과방전을 사전에 감지하기 위한 전압 센싱 동작이 필요하며, 이에, 본 논문에서는 고속 배터리 전압 센싱 모듈 개발을 소개한다. 제작된 CVM(Cell Voltage Monitoring)은 단위 배터리 셀을 통하여, 전압 및 온도 채널 포함하여, 12채널을 모니터링할 수 있으며, 채널당 12-bits 분해능과 192 kbps 전송 속도를 가진다.
