A binary PSO approach for real time optimal balancing of electrochemical cells
An effective management of Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) is nowadays of utmost importance for the technological evolution in both automotive and sustainable power networks applications. In particular, Battery Managements Systems (BMSs) are the electronic devices devolved to this management. One of the most important task of any BMS is cells balancing, aiming at leveling the operating points of the cells composing the ESS. Therefore, a novel online balancing algorithm is proposed in this work.
