BOOST CONVERTER CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF BOOST CONVERTER CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240204667 titled 'BOOST CONVERTER CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF BOOST CONVERTER CONTROL DEVICE
The boost converter control device consists of multiple boost converters connected in parallel to secondary batteries, controlled by an ECU.
- The ECU adjusts the phases of the boost converters to be in sync with each other when the current flowing through the secondary battery exceeds a certain threshold.
- The ECU stops the operation of some boost converters when the current flowing through the secondary battery falls below the predetermined threshold.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Renewable energy systems - Uninterruptible power supplies
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of secondary battery warm-up - Optimal control of boost converters in parallel
Benefits: - Improved battery performance - Enhanced energy efficiency - Extended battery life
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Battery Management System for Electric Vehicles This technology can be utilized in electric vehicles to optimize battery performance and extend battery life, leading to more efficient and sustainable transportation solutions.

Original Abstract Submitted
the boost converter control device includes a plurality of boost converters connected in parallel to each other with respect to the secondary batteries, and an ecu (control unit) that controls each of the plurality of boost converters. when warm-up of the secondary battery is required, ecu performs a first control for adjusting the phases of the plurality of boost converters to be in phase with each other in response to the current value flowing through the secondary battery becoming larger than a predetermined threshold, and performs a second control for stopping the operation of a part of the plurality of boost converters in response to the current value flowing through the secondary battery becoming equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold.
