Abstract:
A power storage system (10) comprises the following: a battery unit (11) in which a plurality of battery cells are connected; an acquisition unit (12) for continuously acquiring, while the battery unit (11) is discharging, (V) which represents the extent of the discharge from the battery unit (11) and the temperature (T) of the battery unit (11) when the degree of discharge is (V); a balancing unit (13) for executing cell balancing by which the difference in the amount of charging between battery cells is reduced; and a balancing control unit (14) for controlling the balancing unit (13) so that when a reference state is detected on the basis of (V) and (T), cell balancing is not executed, in accordance with the results of the detection.
Abstract:
A charge and discharge device (10) includes: a battery unit (110) in which m (m is an integer of 3 or more) battery cells (112) that are connected in series are grouped into plural groups (114) including n (n is an integer equal to or larger than 2 and smaller than m) battery cells (112) that are continuously arranged and a part of the battery cells (112) that belong to a certain group is shared by a different group; a cell balance unit (120) that is provided for each group (114) and uniformizes voltages of the battery cells (112) that belong to the group (114); and a control unit (130) that stops the operation of the cell balance unit (120), when a voltage difference of the battery cells (112) that belong to an arbitrary one of the groups (114) is within a predetermined value, and when a total average voltage in all the battery cells (112) and a partial average voltage which is an average voltage of the battery cells (112) that belong to the arbitrary group (114) satisfy a specific condition, the cell balance unit (120) corresponding to the arbitrary group (114).
Abstract:
A battery control device (100) includes: a measurement unit (110) that individually measures an amount of discharging current of a discharging secondary battery among a plurality of secondary batteries which are independently charged and discharged; a time calculating unit (120) that calculates time required until the secondary battery has a constant battery capacity for each of the discharging secondary batteries on the basis of a discharging current rate for each of the secondary batteries which is calculated on the basis of the amount of discharging current, and an SOC of the secondary battery; a number calculating unit (130) that calculates an expected number of the secondary batteries, which become fully charged in the required time, on the basis of a charging current rate for each of the secondary batteries which is calculated on the basis of an amount of charging current of the charging secondary battery, an SOC of the secondary battery, and the required time, and calculates a total value of the expected number and the existing number of secondary batteries which are already fully charged; and a control unit (140) that determines whether or not to raise the charging current rate on the basis of the total value.
