Abstract:
This paper presents a SiC MOSFET - based 22 kW bi-directional on-board charger (OBC) for Electric Vehicle (EV), with high efficiency and wide output voltage range. To achieve high efficiency in both charging and discharging mode, and to support both 3 phases AC input and single-phase AC input, a novel flexible control scheme is presented in the paper. A digital controlled prototype with a switching frequency of 140kHz-250kHz for CLLC converter and 45kHz for the Active Front End (AFE) is demonstrated with exceeding 97% in peak efficiency in both charging and discharging mode.
