Abstract

The charging power supply for batteries may be variable under many circumstances, e.g., when using solar panels or air-driven generators as the energy source. The mismatch between the voltages of the power supply and the battery may cause significant charging inefficiency. In this paper, we use reconfigurable batteries to solve this voltage mismatch problem. We develop algorithms to dynamically decide the battery connections, to both minimize the voltage mismatch and maintain SOC balancing among difference batteries. We build a hardware prototype to implement and validate our method and use simulation experiments to empirically evaluate its performance.
