Recently, usage of electric and electronic system for car increases rapidly. Consequently power monitoring supplied to the system is essential for management and controlling. Generally, battery status is monitored through measuring and diagnosing the current measurement method utilizing Hall Effect. Therefore, in this paper, we analysed magnetic field to develop the solution of DC current sensor using Hall Effect which is the core of design and development. By analysing the magnetic field by FEM using Maxwell 3D software, the location of the highest output current and stable part in the Hall IC sensor was shown. Also, the optimal core design of DC current sensor using parametric and Simplex method was presented. A car battery charge and discharge process dependant on time effect on the changing of magnetic field was simulated and compared to the result from the experiment result of actual vehicle.

A charge equalization converter with parallel-connected primary windings of transformers is proposed in digest. The proposed work effectively balance the voltage among Lithium-Ion battery cells despite each battery cell has low voltage gap compared with its SOC. The principle of the proposed work is that the equalizing energy from all battery strings moves to the lowest voltage battery through the isolated dc/dc converter controlled by the corresponding bi-directional switch. In this digest, a prototype of four Lithium-Ion battery cells is optimally designed and implemented, and experimental results show that the proposed method has excellent cell balancing performance.

전기자동차, 하이브리드 및 플러그 인 전기자동차 등과 같은 대용량 전력공급을 요하는 영역으로의 리튬 이온전지의 응용을 위해서는 우수한 전지 신뢰성 및 안전성이 요구되어진다. 이러한 요구에 부응하기 위해서는 전지 구성 성분들은 대전류가 흐르는 조건 하에서 불가피하게 발생되는 열에 대한 저항성이 있어야 한다. 그러나 리튬 염을 해리하는 기능을 갖는 카보네이트계 유기 용매는 휘발성이 높고, 가연성 물질이기 때문에 오용 조건에서 전지의 발화, 폭발 등과 같은 열폭주 현상을 억제하지 못하고 연료로 작용하기 때문에 전지의 안전성에 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 최근 전지의 안전성을 향상시키기 수단으로 난연성 소재에 대한 관심도가 크게 증가하고 있다. 본 총설에서는 난연성 전해액을 설계하기 위한 최근 연구내용을 소개하고자 한다. 액체 전해액의 난연화는 유기용매 일부를 난연성 소재로 대체하는 것에 의해 이루어질 수 있으며 난연제, 불소화 유기용매 및 이온성 액체를 사용하는 접근방법을 통해 전지의 고안전성을 실현할 수 있을 것이다.

전기자동차용 배터리 하우징 소재로 사용되고 있는 금속 소재에서 경량소재로 대체하기 위한 열가소성복합재료를 제조하였다. 매트릭스 소재는 고분자 소재인 나일론 6를 사용 하였으며 방열 성능을 부여하기 위해 열전도도가 높은 Boron Nitrate(BN)를 사용하였다. 동일한 필러의 함량 및 입자 크기에 따른 열전도성 고분자 복합재료의 방열 특성을 분석하였다. 필러의 함량이 증가할수록 열전도도 값이 증가하였으며, 입자크기가 60~70㎛인 BN의 함량이 50%인 복합재료의 경우 1.4W/mK 이상 열전도도를 나타내었다. 입자 크기가 클수록 입자 간 계면 접촉면이 넓어져 Thermal path가 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 제조된 열전도성 고분자복합재료를 이용하여 배터리 하우징을 제작하였으며 셀의 충방전 동안 온도 변화를 관찰하여 배터리 하우징의 대체 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, cell performance and thermal stability of lithium-ion cells with a polyimide (PI) separator are investigated. In comparison to conventional polyethylene (PE) separator, the PI separator exhibits distinct advantage in microporous structure, leading to superior reliability of the cell. The cells with PI separator exhibit good cell performances as same as the cells with PE separator, but their reliability was superior to the cell with PE separator. Especially in the hot-box test at 150 and 180℃, PI separator showed a contraction percentage close to 0% at 150℃, while the PE separator showed a contraction percentage greater than 10% in both width and length. Therefore, the PI separator can be the promising candidate for separators of the next generation of lithium-ion battery.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) can be largely divided into the passive-standby, line-interactive and double-conversion methods. This paper proposes a double-conversion UPS with a low cost and high performance. This single phase UPS uses a single-loop robust voltage controller and 1-switch voltage doubler strategy PFC. The proposed UPS is composed of a single phase PFC, a half-bridge inverter, a battery charger and a battery discharger. Finally, the validity of proposed UPS was verified by various experimental tests.

This study reports on the development and investigation of a BMS module using a new algorithm on the driving performance and battery life of electric vehicles. Here, the initial SOC was calculated using an open circuit voltage (OCV) method and a current integral method was later applied to the BMS module. We verified the performance of the BMS module by comparing both the results of the in-vehicle test and the BMS simulator test. Our verification test showed good agreement between the results of experiments and simulation with a small error of ${\pm}0.8%$. Here, we confirmed that the present, newly-developed BMS module not only can predict the battery life but can also monitor SOC, pack voltage, and current temperature.

Electrochemical performance of Li-ion cells with $LiMn_2O_4$ cathodes and graphite anodes with carbonates electrolytes containing quaternary ammonium-based room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) is investigated. Eight different ILs based on tetraalkylammonium, pyrrolidinium or piperidinium cations paired with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide or tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate anions are examined in combination with dimethyl carbonate as a main solvent and fluoroethylene carbonate as a solid electrolyte interface forming agent. It is shown that cycling properties of the cells are strongly affected by the content of ILs in the electrolyte mixtures and its increase corresponds to lower discharge capacity retention. Since viscosity and conductivity of ILs are of a great importance for the electrolytes formulation, some kind of combined parameter should be used for the assessment of IL applicability and calculated values of Walden products for neat ILs represent one of the possible options. Besides, positive effect of ILs on reduction of flammability and enhancement of thermal stability of electrolytes in contact with charged electrodes have been demonstrated by means of self-extinguishing time test and differential scanning calorimetry respectively.

This paper introduces the bidirectional dc-dc converter design case study, which employs silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs for battery energy storage system (BESS). This converter topology is selected as bidirectional synchronous buck converter, which is composed of a half bridge converter, an inductor, and a capacitor, where the converter has less conduction loss than that of a unidirectional buck and boost converter, and to improve the converter efficiency, both the power stage design and power conversion architecture are described in detail. The conduction and switching losses are compared among three different SiC devices in this paper. In addition, the thermal analysis using Maxwell software of each switching device supports the loss analyses, in which both the 2 kW prototype analyses and experimental results show very good agreement.
