Abstract: A battery monitoring system of flying capacitor type detects voltage difference between adjacent unit cells connected in series in battery pack. The system has the unit cells, an open and close section, a first and second capacitor, a first and second switching section, an ADC, and a microcomputer. The microcomputer instructs the open and close section to charge each of the first and second capacitors with each unit cell. After the first and second capacitors have been charged by the corresponding unit cells, the microcomputer instructs the first switching section to connect the first capacitor and the second capacitor in a reverse-polarity series connection. The microcomputer allows the second switching section to supply a voltage at both ends of the first and second capacitors connected in the reverse-polarity series connection, i.e. a voltage difference between the unit cells, to the ADC. The ADC supplies a conversion result to the microcomputer.

Abstract: A control device comprises an acquisition unit that acquires a current to or from the battery and a voltage of a battery, a calculation unit that calculates an internal resistance of the battery based on the current and the voltage when the regenerative power generation is performed by a rotary electric machine, and a permission determination unit that determines whether to permit an automatic stop of an engine depending on whether restarting of the engine is enabled based on power running drive of the rotary electric machine. The calculation unit calculates a value of the internal resistance each time the regenerative power generation or the power running drive is performed before the engine enters an automatic stop state. The permission determination unit determines whether to permit the automatic stop based on a latest value of the internal resistance among values of the internal resistance calculated by the calculation unit.

Abstract: A power supply system is provided. For storage devices, upper limit powers are determined. A control unit includes a target power acquiring section which acquires power requested by an object or power supplied by a charging apparatus as target power of charge/discharge performed by storage devices. A residual capacity acquiring section acquires residual capacities of the storage devices. A first target power allocating section allocates the target power to the storage devices as charge/discharge powers based on the residual capacities. A determining section determines whether or not the allocated charge/discharge powers exceed the upper limit powers of the storage devices. A second target power allocating section reallocates the target power to the storage devices so that the allocated charge/discharge powers do not exceed the upper limit powers, when the determining section determines that any of the charge/discharge powers has exceeded the upper limit power of the related storage device.

Abstract: A battery state estimation apparatus calculates a measured DC resistance value of a DC resistance based on a current change amount and a voltage change amount, which are calculated in a predetermined period using measured current value and voltage value. The battery state estimation apparatus further calculates (i) a non-temperature dependent constant and (ii) a constant of a temperature dependent function based on (i) an estimated DC resistance value and (ii) the measured DC resistance value. The estimated DC resistance value is an estimated value of the measured DC resistance value; the estimated DC resistance value is represented as a sum of (i) the non-temperature dependent constant Ra, which indicates a temperature independent component of the DC resistance of the secondary battery, and (ii) the temperature dependent function Rb, which indicates a temperature dependent component of the DC resistance of the secondary battery.
