Abstract:
This paper aims to come up with a sealed lead acid battery charger for a 250 Ampere-Hour, 96VSeries Battery Bank System comprised of 48 cells with a flat voltage of 1.7V/cell, 2V/cell nominaland a boost voltage at 2.4 V/cell. Imaxdc will be 25A resulting to a 10-12.5-hour charging time.It is expected to go on a trickle charging mode of 2A at the boost voltage. Protection circuitagainst shorted batteries is to be employed.
OVERVIEWThe basic lead acid battery is an old type of battery and has seen differentcharging methods over the years. The lead acid chemistry is fairly tolerant ofovercharging which prompts for cheap chargers.Unregulated transformer‐based chargers consists of a wall mounttransformer and a diode which normally delivers 13 to 14 Volts over a reasonablecurrent range which can charge a 6‐cell 12 V battery. However, as the current tapersoff, its voltage rises to 15 to 18V commencing the electrolysis of the water in thebattery. This is tolerable with sealed lead acid batteries since they can recycle thegenerated gasses as long as they are being overcharged at less than 1/3 of itscapacity. However, leaving the battery at an overcharged state for a week at even1/10 of its capacity will result to corroded plates. At times, taper chargers like thisare made to operate on either a constant current or constant voltage. Regulating thetaper charger is a better and cheaper alternative. The voltage is not allowed to climbhigher than the trickle charge voltage.A lead acid battery charger’s added challenge is to have some kind ofprotection from shorted batteries. A shorted battery has the potential to deliver aextremely high current in a short amount of time (5 to 15 ms). The absence ofprotection may lead to the battery becoming a fuse.Furthermore, the battery’s state of charge and temperature offer modifyingeffects on the internal resistance of SLAs. As they age, their internal resistances risedue to corrosion of the positive grid, changes in active material structure andelectrolyte dry out.In deciding on the amount of charging current, the total internal resistance isto be considered. The total resistance of a series battery bank is the sum of theirinternal resistances plus external resistances such as interconnection hardware andcircuit protection circuits.
With these requirements in mind, this paper looks into a plausible designwithout regard for cost.PRINCIPLE / THEORY OF OPERATION
Topology UsedThe requirement of 25A max charging current for a 96V series lead acidbattery bank prompted the use of a buck‐fed open‐loop interleaved full bridgeresonant converter. This is to guarantee lesser output voltage ripple, and a smallersize for the magnetics. Resonant switching was considered to minimize theswitching losses for the charger.Fig. 1 below shows the process of the blocks of the charger.
Power factor correction was not considered in the design. As an input to thebuck, two wein‐bridge rectifiers were wired in parallel. This is to properly handlethe input current. The rectifiers turn the 220Vac – 264Vac into a DC voltage with a10% ripple. The buck regulates the input to the open‐loop interleaved full bridgeresonant converter. The resonant converter results into a nearly sinusoidal currentwaveform.Battery SetupInstead of putting the 96V series battery bank into a single pack, the bank iscomprised of eight 12V 6‐cell batteries. A series battery system will normally haveboth weaker and stronger cells. One of these cells will be fully discharged before therest of them. For a 3‐cell battery, the total voltage will then be less than 1/3 of theexpected voltage, making it easy to determine. However, for a 10‐cell battery, thiswill only amount to 10% drop from the expected voltage.Each of the eight 12V 6‐cell battery’s voltage is monitored. The table belowindicates the expected voltages.Boost Voltage 14.4VNominal Voltage 12VFlat Voltage 10.2V However, there maybe cases wherein 5 cells are already in their boostvoltage while one is already dead. This will register a 2.4V/cell* 5cells = 12V

reading. A lot of possible scenarios may present a misreading which necessitates forthe charger to monitor the current in the battery bank. This scheme is shown in theschematics (battery monitoring and setup).Protection Circuits/ Trickle ChargingIn DC systems, a shorted battery can deliver an extremely high current in ashort amount of time. This current may be equal to the battery’s open circuitvoltage/internal resistance. The total internal resistance of a string of batteries isgiven by the sum of the individual internal resistance of the battery and the wireconnection between the batteries. For new batteries, both the state of charge andtemperature have modifying effects on the battery’s internal resistance.BatteryTemperature ChargeVoltage percell Charge Voltage for a12 Volt battery GassingVoltageper cell Gassing Voltage for a12V battery

Making use of the table from Powerstream shown above, thetemperatures of each of the eight 12V battery are monitored. Both the thermal,current and voltage monitors can be used to determine how much output voltage isto be offered on the battery bank.In case one of the cells in a 12V battery is shorted, besides the voltagemonitor, the temperature monitor will enable the short circuit protection to isolatethe 12V battery from the system. An SCR is to be triggered to shunt the current awayfrom the 12V 6cell battery.In the event that a shorted battery is detected, the DSP FBDisable from the DSP is asserted. This time, the regulation of the output is to becontrolled by the DSP by regulating via the duty of the buck and, hence, the output of
the open‐loop full bridge depending on the reading of the battery voltage monitorsand current monitor.Trickle charging commences as soon as the voltage monitors read a total of8*6cell*2.4V/cell= 115.2 V. At trickle charging mode, only 2A of current is to besupplied to the battery by adjusting Voutput of charger.Software Requirements DefinitionThe digital part of the project is not shown even in the schematics. But thebrief descriptions of the necessary drives, input and outputs to the controller aredescribed.Pin Name Configuration Pin to be UsedOUT A Output Gen Purpose I/OOUT B Output Gen Purpose I/OOUT C Output Gen Purpose I/OOUT D Output Gen Purpose I/OBattery Current Monitor Input ADCBattery Voltage Monitors Input ADCDuty Control/Fault Sec Output Gen Purpose I/ODuty Synchronization Input Gen Purpose I/OBulk_Detect Input Gen Purpose I/OInput to MUX Output Gen Purpose I/ODSP Temp Sensing Input Gen Purpose I/OOut A,B,C and D are inputs to the gate drive IC that will drive the interleavedfull bridge. Fig 2 below shows how the drives will look like. A dead time of 5% willprevent the shorting of the bus voltage. The phase difference of the drive lowers theoutput ripple current. Since the other rail begins to supply the current while theother rail’s current is going down.Battery current monitor is a feed from the sense resistor in series with thebattery bank. This is read by the DSP to decide when to cut off the output.The Battery Voltage Monitors consists of 8 feeds from the eight 12V batteriesin series. This monitors the duty needed by the buck to supply the full chargingcurrent of 25A or do a trickle charging in the event that the boost voltage of everycell is reached.
Fig. 2 Full Bridge Drives – A,B,C and D.Duty Control/ Sec Fault Control feeds the Isense pin of the buck controller toproperly control the duty of the buck. When high asserted, the buck converter isdisabled.Duty Synchronization gets the feedback from the buck duty to synchronizethe DSP duty control in the event of trickle charging or shorting of one of the cells.This is normally high. When the buck duty is high, this pin gets pulled to ground.DSP Feedback Disable disables the hardwired voltage regulation thatregulates the Vo of the charger at around 103.2V which corresponds to a chargingvoltage of 2.15V/cell. The need to disable this arises whenever the output voltageneeds adjustment to do a short circuit protection of one of the battery cells, tricklecharging or secondary fault. This is normally low. When asserted high, the dutycontrol FB disable is pulled low.Bulk_Detect detects if bulk voltage (input to the buck) is already around340V. This will signal the turning on of the open loop full bridge. This ensures thatthe full bridge will not overload the buck while the bulk voltage is not yet set atpower up or during operating conditions wherein the AC voltage has droppedconsiderably. This is a normally low pin. When the bulk is around the desired level,this gets pulled up to the DSP supply.The DSPGND and the OutputGND are the same. They are named differently soas to be carefully laid out as the DSPGND, being the control ground, should becarefully wired.Input to MUX dedicates 3 DSP pins to select which 12V battery system toisolate.
DESIGN PROPER
AssumptionsThe following are the assumptions for the design of the power circuit:1. Switches were considered ideal.2. It is assumed that the best fan cooling is made available.3. It is assumed that the switches are attached to heat sinks that were designedproperly as per estimated losses on the switches.4. The design was done without regard for cost and form factor.5. Auxiliary windings PVCC = 12V and the SVCC = 18V(master) is assumed.6. Use fuse to protect the circuits when all else fails.The calculation sheets are presented per stage. The buck control designshows a temperature rise of around 150degC while the full bridge magnetics(calculations made per interleave – supplies 12.5A) shows a 120degC temp rise. Theformula used to calculate these temp rise holds the assumption of operating thepower supply in convection.The switching loss calculations were based on the following.

Fig. 7 shows the simetrixcircuit used. Simetrix 4.2 and the e‐DVT ASTEC modeled parts were used.The interleaved open loop full bridge is modeled as E1 shown in Fig.7. The E1value is calculated from the Nsec/Npri = 6turns/ 17 turns = 352m of the full bridgetransformer. The output capacitor’s ESR is assumed to be 43mohm each.For the circuit’s gain phase plot, the gain can’t be increased any longer as thesimulator does not allow changing the R4(in the simulation schematic). The gain ofthe closed loop circuit is given to be OptoGain* R4/R2.Looking at the duty cycle, they are equally spaced. The slope compensationwas employed because at more than 50% duty, harmonic instability may occur.
