Technical Considerations

There are many important trade-offs and constraints on cost, volume, weight, conduction losses, switching losses, microcontrollers, isolation, voltage and current levels, voltage and current ripples, battery specifications, charging–discharging algorithms, control system, switch gate drivers, and efficiency of battery chargers in electric vehicles. In this paper, a well-known power electronic topology commonly used in recent relevant studies is considered, and some important technical considerations with regard to the mentioned trade-offs and constraints are discussed in detail for the first time. The discussion concerns the practical and theoretical experiences in implementation of battery chargers and charging stations of electric vehicles exclusively, and it can be extended to various other power electronic topologies.

AbstractNumerical simulation for calculation of losses of a new cascaded multilevel inverter (MLI) topology depending upon a bi-directional-blocking-bidirectional–conducting-switch is summarized in this paper. The numerical circuit simulation is performed in PSIM software by utilizing thermal models of power electronic switches. Calculation of conduction and switching losses of a 73 W inverter by relying on data sheet values has also been made. A comparison of efficiency of 73 W inverter using numerical simulation as well as analytical calculation has also been made. The new proposed inverter is a compound of both unidirectional as well as bidirectional power electronic switches challenging the attempt to reduce device count of the cascaded MLI.
