Passive Cell Balancing Simulation In Matlab Simulink

Hello guys, welcome back to my blog. In this article, I will discuss passive cell balancing simulation in Matlab Simulink, I will also share Matlab function code, components details, circuit diagram, and working of the circuit.

If you have any electrical, electronics, and computer science doubts, then ask questions. You can also catch me on Instagram – CS Electrical & Electronics And Chetan Shidling.

The image shows a circuit diagram of passive cell balancing. The battery pack is 12 volts and 2.6AHh. It consists of three lithium-ion cells connected in series. Each cell is connected to the load resistance through Mosfet.

Passive cell balancing means equalizing the state of charge of each cell by wasting or dissipating energy through a resistor. In passive cell balancing, each cell state of charge value will be brought to the one cell value which has a low state of charge. As you can see in the waveforms below.

Initial values of cell 01

The initial state of charge of the lithium-ion cell 01 is 15%.

Initial values of cell 02

The initial state of charge of a lithium-ion cell 02 is 35%.

Initial values of cell 03

The initial state of charge of a lithium-ion cell 03 is 50%.

The state of charge of each cell is different and when the passive cell balancing will be applied, the state of charge of each cell will come to 15% because cell 1 has a low state of charge compared to others.

The circuit consists of components such as;

01. Resistor – To dissipate the energy, the resistor is used at each cell.

02. MOSFET – It acts as a switch. when all cells’ state of charge becomes equal, the MOSFET is turned off and the circuit will become open.

03. Lithium-ion cell – Which stored energy. We are applying passive cell balancing for the lithium-ion cells.

04. Goto – By using goto, we are passing the state of charge value to from and then to the Matlab function.

05. From – It is input to the Matlab function which holds the value of the state of charge.

06. Display – To display the value of the state of charge, I am using the display.

07. Scope – To see the waveform of state of charge, I am using the scope.

08. Matlab function

Code which I am using, hope it works for you.

Matlab Function Code

function [y1, y2, y3]= fcn(s1,s2,s3)

s1 = int16(s1);

s2 = int16(s2);

s3 = int16(s3);

This code compares the state of charge of each cell and gives the respected output. Suppose, if the state of charge of cell 02 is low then it will give high output for MOSFET of cell 1 and cell 2.

Now, I will share values of the state of charge and waveform after simulation. The simulation time it took was 2600 seconds.

Working

Initially, the state of charge of each cell is different. The state of charge value is given to the Matlab function, where the code is written which will compare the state of charge of each cell and accordingly produces the output. The output is connected to the gate of the MOSFET, by which the circuit is controlled.

Need design,modelling and simulation for SOC estimation of a battery in a simpler manner. Thank you

Sure, If I get time, I will make video.
