Abstract: To resolve the issue of state of charge (SOC) inconsistency among energy storage units under traditional equal-power allocation strategies, this paper proposes a multi-unit SOC balancing control strategy based on battery life degradation characteristics. Prior to system operation, the proposed strategy optimizes power distribution according to each unit's state of health (SOH) and predefined depth of discharge (DOD), ensuring SOC balance at the end of each charge–discharge cycle. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that, compared with traditional equal-power distribution control, the proposed strategy significantly improves capacity utilization and extends the overall system lifetime. For instance, in Simulation Scenario 1, the available capacity per cycle is increased by 8.14%, and the overall system lifetime is prolonged by 11.04%. Furthermore, the strategy eliminates the need for dynamic power redistribution, thus reducing communication overheads and effectively meeting engineering requirements for SOC balancing. This research provides valuable insights for the safe and economical operation of energy storage power stations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
