Abstract: A hybrid battery balancing system coupled to a battery pack protection system having a main control processor is provided. The hybrid battery balancing system includes a cell voltage/temperature and bypassing module, multiple independent battery chargers and a battery pack with multiple battery cells in serial connection and connected between the battery charger and the cell-voltage/temperature and bypassing module in a cascaded fashion. The cell voltage/temperature and bypassing module includes a cell-voltage and temperature module and a plurality of bypassing equalizers built within the cell voltage and temperature module, which read cell voltage and temperature information and upload the cell voltage and temperature information to the main control processor, and receive a balance instruction returned by the main control processor to control a bypass current for facilitating a passive control.

Abstract: A hierarchical battery-management system mainly comprises a monitoring and equalizing module, an intermediary module, and a decision and communication module. The monitoring and equalizing module electrically couples with the battery cells, the intermediary modules electrically couple with the monitoring and equalizing module and the decision and communication module. The decision and communication module electrically couples with a power system or an electronic/electrical apparatus, and a hierarchical management structure constructed by the intermediary module to screen data and to transmit meaningful cell data to meet real time managing requirements of the large battery set.

Abstract: An electronic braking and energy recycling system associated with a direct current (DC) brushless motor, characterized in that when an electronic braking task is launched, a phase voltage occurred in an inverse mode is applied onto a motor coil corresponding thereto and a gate voltage signal with positive and negative cycles is used to control an upper-side and lower-side branches to switch as compared to each other in the system, so as to redirect a current flown through the motor back to a power source end. In this invention, a controllable inverse torsion is achieved, enabling an electrical machine to be braked smoothly and reliably when necessary. As such, a dynamic power of the motor can be recycled at a maximum rate and thus the purpose of energy recycling is achieved. In addition, no complex circuitry configuration owing to the multi-phase coils is required.

Abstract: A programmable high-speed motor torque controller is provided. A current mode PWM controller widely used in the switching power supply is utilized to perform a real-time hardware control on the operating current of a motor. A microprocessor is used as an operating and controlling interface. By means of the output signal from the switching element of the current-limiting switching controller, the gate switch elements (MOSFET/IGBT) are further controlled so as to control the real operating current of the motor. Therefore, at a cost of approximately one tenth of the digital signal processor, the programmable high-speed motor torque controller can achieve the functions similar to the digital signal processor. Furthermore, a set of built-in power loop switch can be provided to interrupt the current loop of the motor upon reverse rotation without the requirement of power output, thereby largely reducing the drag force of motor upon reverse rotation.
