본 논문에서는 전기자동차 (Electric Vehicles, EVs)에 사용되는 탑재형 충전기 (On-Board Charger, OBC)에 적용된 부하직렬공진형 컨버터 (Series-Loaded Resonant DC-DC Converter, SRC)의 최적 공진주파수를 설계하기 위한 과정을 제시한다. 실제 OBC제품의 입 출력을 토대로 프로세스를 진행하여, 다양한 주파수에 따른 공진 네트워크를 구성한다. 그 결과로 얻어진 파라미터를 이용하여 스위칭 주파수에 따른 자성소자의 사이즈 변화 및 손실량 변화 추이를 분석하여 최적의 설계점을 찾는다.

In this paper, bidirectional LLC resonant DC/DC converters with the primary auxiliary windings in transformers of resonant circuits are proposed. Although the resonant capacitors are used on both the primary and secondary sides, regardless of the direction of power flow, the main feature of the proposed converters exhibits high gain characteristics without any mutual coupling between the resonant capacitors. For one of the proposed converters, an investigation of the operating characteristics in each mode has been carried out. A prototype of a 3.3 kW bidirectional LLC resonant converter for interfacing 750 V DC buses has been built and tested to verify the validity and applicability of the proposed converter.

Recently, an electric vehicle (EV) has been become a huge issue in the automotive industry. The EV has many electrical units: electric motors, batteries, converters, etc. The DC distribution power system (DPS) is essential for the EV. The DC DPS offers many advantages. However, multiple loads in the DC DPS may affect the severe instability on the DC bus voltage. Therefore, a voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may use the DC DPS. The VBC is used to mitigate the voltage transient on the bus. Thus, a suitable control technique should be selected for the VBC. In this research, Current controller with fixed switching frequency is designed and applied for the VBC. The DC DPS consist of both a resistor load and a boost converter load. The load variations cause the instability of the DC DPS. This instability is mitigated by the VBC. The simulation results by Matlab simulink and experimental results are presented for validating the proposed VBC and designed control technique.

This paper deals with LLC resonant converter of on-board charger for electric vehicle charging. Generally, the on-board charger must have a very widely charging voltage, higher efficiency, higher power factor, lower volume and lower weight. For reducing the switching losses, voltage and current stress of the device, the on-board charger is apply the half-bridge LLC resonant converter topology. To have a wide voltage range, it is design the hardware parameters and determine the switching frequency range of the LLC resonant converter. The experimental results show a wide charge voltage.

To verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, the charges in power demand are analyzed for an AC and DC distribution system for the existing V2G concept and electric vehicle charging stations connected to a Battery Energy Storage System. In addition, since many power-converter-based chargers are operated simultaneously in an EV charging station, the change in the system harmonics when several EV chargers are connected at a single point is analyzed through simulations.

This study presents a single-phase single-stage three-level AC/DC converter with a wide controllable output voltage. The proposed AC/DC converter is designed to extend the application of e-mobility, such as electric vehicles. The single-stage converter integrates a PFC converter and a three-level DC/DC converter, operates at a fixed frequency, and provides a wide controllable output voltage (approximately 200-430Vdc) with high efficiencies over a wide load range. In addition, the input boost inductors operate in a discontinuous mode to improve the input power factor. The switching devices operate with ZVS, and the converter's THD is small, especially at full load. The feasibility of the proposed converter is verified by the experimental results of a 1.5 kW prototype.

The paper presents a non-isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter for use in renewable power generation, battery, electric vehicles (EV) and small scale DC-UPS systems. In the propose design, the conventional interleaved operation of two-inductor boost structure is modified to accommodate bidirectional operation, and zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) is applied, where both the switch and the rectifier diode achieve soft condition without increasing their voltage and current stresses. The proposed converter has the merits of simple circuitry, reduced size, low cost and high efficiency. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. Also, simulation results of the proposed bidirectional dc-dc converter is shown.

본 논문에서 풀브리지 컨버터와 2차측은 전류더블러로 구성되어 있는 차량용 양방향 LDC를 개발하였다. LDC는 한쪽의 DC입력을 다른쪽의 DC 출력으로 변환시키는 컨버터이며, 본 논문에서 개발된 컨버터는 양방향으로 전력전달이 가능하다. 개발된 LDC는 1400W에서 90%의 효율을 보이고 2KW에서 약 85%정도의 효율을 나타내는 것이 확인되었다.

The rapidly growing demand for electric power systems in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) require simpler, cost-effective, and higher performance components. In this paper, a novel power conversion system for hybrid electric vehicles is proposed for these needs. The proposed power conversion system reduces the conversion system cost while preserving same functionality. The proposed power conversion system can boost multi-sources to drive a traction motor and to store energy at the same time reducing number of switching components. In this paper, all operational modes of the proposed converter are explained in detail and verified by a computer simulation first. Then, the topology and operational modes are experimentally verified. Based on the results, the feasibility of the proposed multi-mode single leg power conversion system for EV and HEV applications is discussed.

This paper proposes a dc/dc converter for electric vehicle onboard chargers using a secondary resonant tank. To attain soft switching characteristics, such as zero voltage switching, magnetizing inductance has been used at the primary side of the transformer. The leakage inductance of the transformer is used as a resonant inductor on the secondary side to avoid the use of a separate inductor as resonance. The proposed converter is applicable for a wide load range. A 6.6KW prototype has been implemented for a wide range of load variations (250V, 330V, 360V, and 413V). A maximum efficiency of 97.4% is achieved at 413V.
