Electric mobility is nowadays one of the more important trends regarding pollution reduction and global warming due to fuel consumption. Big efforts are done in order to develop efficient and reliable power electronic systems for electric vehicles. In two stage on board-battery chargers, one way of improving efficiency is by means of ensuring the DC-DC isolated converter always operates in the nominal input/output voltage ratio, that could be achieved with a variable DC-link operation. In this paper, a four-switch buck-boost based AC/DC converter is deeply analyzed in order to improve its dynamic performance, the power factor and the total harmonic distortion. The converter suffers from a non-minimum phase characteristic in different input–output transfer functions, which reduces the closed-loop bandwidth of the system. Therefore, after a deep converter analysis has been done, different solutions have been evaluated and tested. Finally, a control to different output transfer functions of the converter become minimum phase, which allows us to increase the system bandwidth and, consequently, high power factor, low harmonics distortion, single control structure and fast dynamics for wide output voltage range are achieved.

Although the literature extensively covers the development of battery chargers control strategies, a comparison of these strategies remains a literary gap. The inherent conditions (i.e., State of Health and State of Charge) of each unit in the Battery Energy Storage Systems directly influence the charger control techniques for extending battery lifetime, which makes modular battery chargers an appealing topology for this analysis. This work groups charger control strategies presented in the literature into two: Adapted SoC strategies, directly linked to the field of overstress management, and SoH strategies, which are directly linked to the field of wear-out management. The methodology for comparing the control strategies encompasses battery lifetime, charger, and photovoltaic plant models. Three distinct cases were simulated using real measure data from a solar power plant and a battery model provided by MathWorks®. The results evidence that the Capacity Fade and Energy Throughput strongly depend on the strategy. The controller action evidences the previous statement, as the strategies have different goals that are related to each field. Furthermore, this work analyses the effect of the estimation process in the action of the controller.

In this paper, we aim to make a detailed study on the evaluation and the characteristics of the non-inverting buck–boost converter. In order to improve the behaviour of the buck-boost converter for the three operating modes, we propose an architecture based on peak current-control. Using a three modes selection circuit and a soft start circuit, this converter is able to expand the power conversion efficiency and reduce inrush current at the feedback loop. The proposed converter is designed to operate with a variable output voltage. In addition, we use LDMOS transistors with low on-resistance, which are adequate for HV applications. The obtained results show that the proposed buck-boost converter perform perfectly compared to others architecture and it is successfully implemented using 0.18 μm CMOS TSMC technology, with an output voltage regulated to 12V and input voltage range of 4-20 V. The power conversion efficiency for the three operating modes buck, boost and buck-boost are 97.6%, 96.3% and 95.5% respectively at load current of 4A.
