Abstract

This paper proposes an alternating battery discharge method by balancing discharge time of battery cells, which significantly increases battery lifetime. In the conventional method, several battery cells are alternately discharged to make battery recovery effect, and this increases battery lifetime. In this case, there are some overlap intervals where several battery cells are ON to avoid system power cut-off, but this makes several problems due to the voltage differences of battery cells. To mitigate these problems, discharge time of battery cells are controlled to make battery cell voltages as equal as possible. Measurements show that the battery lifetime is exxtended by 19.2% in the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 배터리 교대 방전 기법에서 배터리 셀의 방전 시간을 밸런싱함으로서 배터리 사용 시간을 크게 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 기존 기법에서는 다수의 배터리 셀을 교대로 방전시킴으로서 배터리에 회복 효과를 발생시키고, 이를 통해 배터리 사용 시간을 연장한다. 이때, 시스템에 공급되는 전원이 차단되지 않도록 배터리 셀이 동시에 켜지는 시간 구간이 있는데, 배터리 셀의 전압 차이로 인해 여러 가지 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 배터리 셀이 가능한 한 균등한 전압을 가지도록 배터리의 방전 시간을 제어한다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법에서 배터리 사용 시간이 19.2% 연장되었다.
