Abstract

Electric Vehicle (EV)/ Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) enabled by high-efficiency electric motor and controller, provide the means for a clean, efficient and environmental friendly transportation system. Portable rechargeable batteries are the essential basic component in EVs. In EV/HEV system a large number of cells should be connected in series to supply enough energy, while the voltage balancing problem between cells leads to poor performance. This chapter attempts modular battery charge equalization circuit, considering state of charge (SOC) of the battery under MATLAB Simulink environment.
