Misalignment during wireless charging of EVs can lead to low efficiencies (<85%) of power transfer which can lead to thermal issues and high leakage fields. This paper explores the most optimal solution towards a misalignment tolerant system. To that end, a DD-DDQ coil system with series-series compensation combined with an impedance matching control algorithm is explored. A multi-objective optimization...
A novel quadratic buck-boost DC/DC converter is presented in this study. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switch and can step-up/down the input voltage, while the existing single switch quadratic buck/boost converters can only work in step-up or step-down mode. First, the proposed converter is analyzed in steady-state. Then, its performance is validated using simulations in MATLAB/Simulink...
A novel use case will be explored showing how modern graphical system design tools used together with SPICE in a co-simulation environment can be used to represent accurate simulations of practical real world digitally controlled power inverters with a high level of accuracy while at the same time taking high level power measurements that would otherwise not be practical using separate design environments...
This paper shows ways of improving the efficiency of the electric traction drive in a battery electric vehicle at partial load operation referring to electric machine and power electronics. Improved components are compared to those typically used in an electric vehicle in terms of energy efficiency. Further advantages, economic impact and optimization strategies of the newly developed components are...
This paper presents the analysis and novel controller design for a hybrid switched-capacitor bidirectional dc/dc converter that is applicable for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV)/plug-in HEV energy-storage system (ESS) applications, based on the power of the traction motor and the gradient of the battery current. Features of voltage step-down, voltage step-up, and bidirectional power flow are integrated...
Urban DC railway substations are growing in size due increasing capacity demand. Several challenges associated with the increase of power demand can be met using power electronics. The proposed system is based on DC-autotransformers and active rectifiers working similarly to those in 3-wire AC railway electrification system. Conventional simulation software (Idom-REPS-DC) has been adapted to the system...
