Development of a DC-DC Converter for Active Battery Balancing Systems in a Format of Student Competition

The article presents the development of a DC-DC converter for active battery balancing systems in the format of student competition. Active balancing, which ensures stable energy transfer between battery cells, is critically important for optimizing their operation and extending their service life. Various topologies of DC-DC converters, in particular SEPIC, Push-Pull and DAB, are analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages are shown. The results of the work contribute to increasing the efficiency of battery balancing systems, extending their service life and developing students’ technical skills.
