SOC and remaining charge information are indicators for diagnosing cell-to-cell variation; thus, the proposed algorithm can be applied to SOC- or charge-based balancing in cell balancing controller. Compared to voltage-based balancing, SOC and remaining charge information improve the performance of balancing circuit but increase computational complexity which is a stumbling block in implementation. In this work, a simple current sensor-less SOC estimation algorithm with estimated current equalizer is used to achieve aforementioned object. To check the characteristics and validate the feasibility of the proposed method, a constant current discharging/charging profile is applied to a series-connected battery pack (twelve 2.6Ah Li-ion batteries). The experimental results show its applicability to SOC- and remaining charge-based balancing controller with high estimation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124333660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One is model-base Smith method, and the other is the model-free Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT) method.

This is mainly due to the fact that this policy increases the energy cost, especially when the amount of the energy generated by renewable sources is not negligible compared to the traditional ones, as is expected for the near future. Additionally, the current centralized electricity market prevents small or very small energy producers, who usually generate energy by renewable means - photovoltaic units or wind turbines - to participate. There is a role for energy aggregators to act on behalf of these small prosumers so that they could sell their excess energy collectively in order to get a better price. To help the tasks of the aggregator a trading tool is required that will facilitate the clustering of prosumers who are able to offer energy at a certain time during the day based on contractual agreements. The VIMSEN project is set-up to produce such a system that will allow the aggregator to select prosumers and form virtual micro-grids by virtue of smart communication systems. VIMSEN is part of the European R&D 7th Framework Programme with the aims to develop, implement and demonstrate a new energy management and business model system using the concept of virtual microgrids, to enable an increase in the market participation of prosumers at neighbourhood and community levels.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122666222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
