Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Battery Performance Controlled by an Active BMS Based on the Battery-to-Cell Method

The article discusses the results of research on efficiency a battery assembled with lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFeP04) cells when managed by an active Battery Management System (BMS) using “battery-to-cell” energy transfer. This arrangement was especially developed authors and is intended for use in selected suspended mining vehicle. main emphasis placed variation two most important factors limiting practice effective battery: heating during operation its voltage (power) fade over time. advantage BMS transfer compared both based cell-to-battery method passive as well. Particular attention paid to performance balancing effect simulated unequal discharging randomly (from 12 % about 40 all number battery). obtained allowed formulation appropriate conclusions practical recommendations.
