Method and arrangement for balancing voltages of series connection of storage units for electrical energy
Abstract:
An arrangement which includes two or more energy storage units for electrical energy connected in series, and two or more balancing resistor units. Each balancing resistor unit is connected in parallel with one of the energy storage units. The arrangement also includes means for determining a voltage over all of the series-connected energy storage units and means for determining the energy storage unit voltages between poles of the energy storage units. One or more of the balancing resistor units include a base resistor unit and a control resistor unit connected in series and a switching device connected in parallel with the control resistor units. The arrangement further comprises means for determining reference voltages for the energy storage units based on the voltage over all of the series-connected capacitors and means for controlling the switching device to control the resistance of one or more of the balancing resistor units so that the energy storage unit voltage of each energy storage unit is maintained within a set range of the reference voltage for each energy storage unit.
