title = "Novel bidirectional multiple-input multiple-output converter for simultaneous direct battery module balancing",
abstract = "Charge balancers are needed to equalize the energy stored in battery cells connected in series to increase the usable capacity and lifetime of the entire stack. A multiple-input multiple-output DC/DC converter for battery module balancing, based on flux additivity, is proposed. It allows bidirectional, simultaneous and direct charge transfer. A prototype converter with two bidirectional channels has successfully been built-up and tested. First experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the charge balancer. A time averaged model is derived considering the influence of the common multiwinding transformer voltage.",
