  • Publication number: 20240014527
    Abstract: A battery module and an operation method thereof are provided. The battery module includes multiple battery cells and a controller. Each of the battery cells has a power voltage terminal and a reference voltage terminal. The power voltage terminals of the battery cells are commonly coupled to a power voltage line of the battery module. The reference voltage terminals of the battery cells are commonly coupled to a reference voltage line of the battery module. Electrical energy of the power voltage line and the reference voltage line is used to supply power to a load system outside the battery module. The controller is coupled to the power voltage line and the reference voltage line to monitor charging and discharging operations of the battery cells.

  • Publication number: 20230056613
    Abstract: A simulation test system and a simulation test method are provided. The simulation test system includes a control device, a power setting device, and a data capture device. The control device generates a context control signal corresponding to one of a plurality of operating contexts. The power setting device generates at least one of a simulated charging power and a simulated load in response to the context control signal and provides at least one of the simulated charging power and the simulated load to a device under test to configure the device under test to generate test data in response to at least one of the simulated charging power and the simulated load. The data capture device captures the test data and provides the test data to the control device.

  • Patent number: 11435817
    Abstract: A multi-power management system and an operation method for the multi-power management system are provided. The multi-power management system includes multiple adapters and a power supply circuit. The adapters respectively provide multiple powers. The power supply circuit receives multiple input power values of the adapters, and calculates multiple input power value contribution ratios of the adapters according to the input power values. The power supply circuit further provides a control signal according to a sum of the output current values of multiple output current values of the powers and the input power value contribution ratios. The adapters adjust the output current values and multiple output voltage values respectively in response to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20140045003
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hybrid-type rechargeable battery module that includes a first cell block, a second cell block, a first switch, a second switch and a control unit. The control unit is configured to obtain the statuses of the first and second cell blocks and control the charging/discharging process of the first and second cell blocks. The first switch is electrically connected to the first cell block and the control unit so as to use the control unit to allow the first cell block to enter a discharging condition based on a difference value between the first and second electric capacities. The second switch is electrically connected to the second cell block and the control unit so as to use the control unit to allow the second cell block to enter a discharging condition based on the difference value between the first and second electric capacities.
