The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of emerging technologies for modular
power converter architectures for electric vehicles. Nowadays, the most common electrical …

Consistent quality of the battery system in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is highly
dependent on constant quality of the supplied individual cells. Especially for promising …

Parameter variations of lithium-ion batteries are an important concern because they can
reduce the performance of a battery pack. To quantify inherent variations due to production …

Ageing of lithium‐ion batteries results in irreversible reduction in performance. Intrinsic
variability between cells, caused by manufacturing differences, occurs throughout life and …

A quantitative model-based comparison of ten active balancing circuits is presented for
equalizing imbalanced cell energies of lithium-ion batteries. A mean current model …

Since every production process exhibits slight variances, lithium-ion cells are usually tested
for their function and quality by the manufacturer during end-of-line testing, whereby specific …

This study introduces a streamlined modeling framework that integrates a volume-averaged
thermal (VAT) model with the Tank-in-Series battery model, a recently developed volume …

Typically, the unique objective pursued in either active or passive balancing is equalization
of single cell charge. However, a balancing circuit may offer more control features, like …

In this work, a battery consisting of eight commercial NMC/graphite cells connected in series
was cycled to 60% of its initial capacity. During the test, special care was taken to ensure …

The Weibull probability model used in statistical analysis has become more popular in the
inconsistency evaluation of used Li-ion batteries due to its flexibility in fitting asymmetrically …
