Power constraints: Performance requirements for standard HEVs generally focus on the power capabilities of the battery pack, rather than ca-pacity, and therefore battery packs for HEVs typ-ically do not require paralleling of cells. Perfor-mance requirements for EVs and PHEVs, on the other hand, are dominated by capacity needs.
To meet the specified performance re-quirements, the battery pack would require three cells in parallel and 96 cells in series, for a total of 288 cells. Two possible approaches for designing this bat-tery pack are shown in Fig. 1.
It is thus worth investigating if different configurations lead to different performance of the battery pack in presence of a mismatch in the cell characteristics. A simulation tool is developed in this work and applied to a battery pack consisting of standard 12 V modules connected with various serial/parallel topologies.
As can be seen, batteries can be connected in series, parallel, or both. In this case, each battery with "V" for voltage and "I" for current is connected either in series or parallel with other similar batteries. The total voltage and current depends on the wiring type.
For example, each parallel assembly connected in series within a battery pack requires a balancing circuit, and so the more parallel assemblies a pack has, the more cell balancing control signals are required in the battery management system.
Uneven electrical current distribution in a parallel-connected lithium-ion battery pack can result in different degradation rates and overcurrent issues in the cells. Understanding the electrical current dynamics can enhance configuration design and battery management of parallel connections.
