  6. LPRDS-CMS-2011 • Finish a per-cell balancing scheme for the 64-cell LiFePO4 battery pack. • Complete design so that energy storage system is capable of being utilized by the LPRDS system.

  7. Plan of Work • Develop a “Slave Board” (OBPP PCB) which will balance during charge/discharge a pack of 4 cells • Develop a “Master Board” (ESSCB PCB) which will control the functioning of the OBPPs to charge/discharge/bypass a particular cell. • Develop a “Stand-alone” mode for the OBPP in which a pack and OBPP together do not need the master to make decisions for bypassing during charge/discharge.

  12. One Board Per Pack (OBPP)

  13. One Board Per Pack :: Key Features • Individual cell balancing capabilities • Two Modes of Operation (Slave & Stand-alone) • Boots in Stand-alone Mode • LEDs indicating operational state of pack • LEDs indicating operation of bypass • Scalability • Temperature Fail-Safe System

  14. One Board Per Pack :: Design

  15. One Board Per Pack :: Design • Resistive burn-off bypass solution • Independent redundant temperature safety system (RTSS) • Individually addressable packs for master-slave configuration • Stand-alone operation with charge state controlled open collector output • Implements I2C communication in master-slave configuration • *Current sensing capability

  16. Cell Balancing Design • Breakdown of design trade-offs • Active vs. Passive Balancing • Level of Integration • Delegation between Controller and OBPP boards • Scalability • Layout Space • Cost • Manufacturability • Availability

  17. Active Vs. Passive Balancing • Active: Using capacitive or inductive loads to shuttle charge from higher charged cells to lower charged cells. • Is more efficient from a power perspective • Has scalability issues • OBPP boards are larger and handle more work • Manufacturability issues

  18. Active Vs. Passive Balancing • Passive: Bypasses cells and burns off the excess charge from the cell. • Better large-stack scaling • Burn off can be significant • Controller board handles decision-making

  19. Bypass Design • Grounding the floating reference • Choosing a resistor value • Choosing a suitable transistor

  20. Bypass Design – Resistor Choice

  21. Bypass Design

  22. Bypass Design – Transistor Simulation These numbers give a maximum power dissipation of 2.122 * 1.5 = 6.74W, which is about 35 degree temp rise using the thermal resistance of the resistor alone.

  23. Bypass – Final Thoughts • Only the most recent simulations • Several different iterations of components and control schemes • Final design can reasonably bypass 1/5 C at full charge • Limitations of the bypass circuit heavily influenced the balancing algorithm

  24. Critical Monitoring • Battery Voltages • Temperature • On board and RTSS • Current • Direction and Amplitude • Open-Drain Output • Optional Automatic Control • Fuse

  25. Critical Monitoring - Voltage

  26. Critical Monitoring - Voltage • Difference Amp to buffer and isolate battery voltages • Monitors for voltage thresholds that indicate a full or empty state • Balancing algorithm requires them

  27. Critical Monitoring - Temperature • RTSS discussed later • Voltage output temperature sensors for non-critical temperature monitoring

  28. Critical Monitoring - Current • A relatively new addition • Gives a way to independently judge whether the pack is charging or discharging • Required for the balancing algorithm

  29. Critical Monitoring – Output Pin • Based entirely on OBPP calculations • Allows the user to have a charging circuit that is autonomous • An open drain output from the microcontroller

  30. Critical Monitoring - Fuse • Another new addition • Will protect the CMS from currents above 25A

  31. Digital I/O • Master/OBPP communications will be over I2C • OBPP will have a 4 bit switch addressing • OBPP will transfer from Standalone to Slave when I2C becomes active • Master commands override OBPP automated tasks

  32. Redundant Temperature Safety System (RTSS) • Independent functionality to shut down system when temperature exceeds 65°C • Connection to each OBPP using AD22105 “Low Voltage, Resistor Programmable Thermostatic Switch” Integrated Circuit • (Setpoint accuracy = 2°C) • When any board exceeds the temperature limit, the switch within the safety loop is activated and the system shuts down.

  33. Overall RTSS • Does not work as stand-alone pack • Must be connected to ESSCB Safety Loop

  34. RTSS parts on OBPP To other OBPPs

  35. OBPP Connection to Safety Loop to OBPPs

  36. OBPP Thermal Analysis (Charging/Discharging) Copper FR4 (Circuit board) Aluminum Lithium Iron Phosphate (Aluminum) Acrylic Plastic

  37. OBPP Thermal Analysis (Bypass Scenario) Copper FR4 (Circuit board) Aluminum Lithium Iron Phosphate (Aluminum) Acrylic Plastic

  38. Stationary Analysis (1 cell heating)

  39. Stationary Analysis (4 cells heating)

  40. Stationary Analysis (Conductive slabs)

  41. Stationary Analysis (Bypass scenario)

  42. Time Dependent (1 cell)

  43. Time dependent (Bypass Scenario)

  44. OBPP Operational Verification • Bypass LEDs to indicate resistive bypassing • LEDs to indicate charge/discharge and mode of operation Solid – Charged Blink – Charging Solid – Discharged Blink – Discharging Solid – Slave Blink – Stand-alone Solid – Bypassing

  45. OBPP Additional Notes • Multiple levels of electrical isolation • Microcontroller/bypass loop • I2C on OBPP and Master board • RTSS isolated as well

  46. OBPP Firmware • Stand-alone Mode • Slave Mode • Cell Balancing Algorithm

  47. OBPP Firmware - Standalone • Begins after a reset or losing the I2C clock signal • Watches for voltage thresholds • Cell balancing is enabled • Waits for I2C connection • First firmware development milestone
