In comparison to the traditional structure, the utilization of the modular dc/dc converter (MDDC) for integrating power battery packs in electric vehicle (EV) battery swapping stations (BSSs) presents notable advancements in cost-effectiveness, conversion efficiency, and stability. This article introduces a two-mode balancing control scheme tailored for the state-of-charge (SoC) differences due to the distinctive plug-and-play operation of BSS. First, the proposed scheme efficiently addresses high swapping demands by expediting the generation of full battery packs using a sorting selection control during the on-grid mode. Subsequently, during the off-grid mode, a flexible energy transfer loop, incorporating the dc inductor, capacitor, and submodules (SMs), enhances balancing capabilities through an internal circulation control. It can effectively address scenarios with low swapping demands where there is a shortage of battery packs that are not fully charged. Moreover, the proposed method ensures equal switching loss distribution and accelerates balancing speed, adding to its appeal. The practical validation of the proposed scheme is achieved through a 1-kW/1-kWh MDDC-BSS prototype equipped with 16 SMs.
