Battery energy storage system is the object of this review. Equalization necessity of battery packs connected in series and parallel is analyzed. Equalization topologies, variables and control methods are reviewed. Future research challenges and outlooks of new equalization methods are prospected.
Although lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are favored for their excellent performance, the large number of batteries connected in series and parallel may lead to inconsistent battery packs, which can cause system problems. Therefore, battery equalization techniques should be employed.
Therefore, battery equalization is critical in PV and other energy storage devices . Battery equalization can be divided into passive and active equalization according to how lithium-ion battery packs transfer energy.
Equalization method can be extended to almost all battery systems, including nickel and lead-acid batteries, since it is not dependent on battery cells' characteristics . Equalization topologies for battery packs are categorized into active and passive equalization.
A et al. presented a battery charge equalization strategy where cells are sorted by voltage in descending order, and overcharged cells are discharged first. Then, differences between cells'' SOC and average
