Abstract: The energy flow is step-by-step among Lithium-ion-battery when an equalizer based on the buck-boost converter is adopted, resulting in a long energy transmission path and low equalization efficiency. First, a Lithium-ion-battery equalizer based on the dual active half-bridge is studied in this paper. Second, the key parameters of the energy flow between cells in the same group and cells in different groups in the equalizer are analyzed. Third, a phase shift control strategy is put forward according to the analysis results. The equalizer with the proposed control strategy not only can realize the energy flow between cells in the same group and different groups but also work at high frequency. Therefore, the transformer can be designed to be small in size and light in weight, greatly reducing the volume and weight of the equalizer. A prototype of the dual active half-bridge equalizer with four lithium batteries was managed. The experimental results show that the proposed Lithium-ion-battery equalizer based on phase shift control has good equalization performances.
