Abstract :
This study describes the design and implementation of a current sink and source controller for battery evaluation. Two types of controllers were designed, one for low rates of current and the other for high rates of current. The operation of th controllers is implemented using control algorithms to perform both current and voltage modes of operation. Controller performance is analyzed by comparing requested values with measured values to insure proper current output from the controllers
