In order to accommodate increasing energy demand from "more electrified" domestic and vehicular applications, simultaneous use of various renewable sources are encouraged. Multiple converters are commonly adopted to process the renewable power as a distributed power system (DPS). However, due to the loose structure of DPS, reliability and load/source regulation will degrade as compared to...
In this paper, two novel control strategies are designed and evaluated for a bidirectional DC/DC converter and a 3-stage parallel-interleaved bidirectional converter, for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) energy storage applications. The energy storage system (ESS) combines 2 parallel ultra-capacitor (UC) modules with a bidirectional DC/DC converter, a Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery module, and a load module...
This paper examines the technology and value proposition for the active combination of the power dense ultracapacitor with an energy optimized lithium-ion battery. Aspects of the respective technologies that can be altered for the benefit of the active parallel energy storage system are noted. Energy management control strategies are investigated that show promise for dramatic reduction in lithium-ion...
This paper presents detailed design and comparison of two front-end Dc/Dc converters which are suitable especially for the medium-power level applications with low output voltage and high output current both. Where, the LLC resonant converter drawn more and more attention recently shows its essential advantages in high conversion efficiency and high power density. However, due to the variable-frequency...
Energy storage requirements for converters with a dc port and a single-phase grid-connected port are evaluated, based on the unavoidable double-frequency power requirement. The minimum energy storage requirement is linked to a minimum capacitance requirement for converters that use capacitance energy storage. It is shown how to employ a ripple power port to manage energy storage and decouple capacitor...
A method of maintaining high power-conversion efficiency across the entire load range and its circuit implementations are described. The proposed method substantially increases the conversion efficiency at light loads by minimizing switching and driving losses of semiconductor switches, as well as core losses of magnetic components. These losses are minimized by periodically turning off and on the...
