Abstract

The LDC (Low Voltage DC-DC Converter) used for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles was utilized to supply the electric apparatus load with a voltage and to charge the auxiliary batteries by receiving a high DC voltage from the high voltage battery. The LDC has a long-time load test during the manufacturing process. On the other hand, it has the disadvantage of considerable energy consumption because it has the structure to release the power as 100% heat during a load test. Therefore, in this paper, a recycling load test method was proposed and 75~90% energy saving was realized.

하이브리드 자동차나 전기 자동차에 사용되는 LDC(Low Voltage DC-DC Converter)는 고전압 배터리 측의 높은 DC 전압을 입력 받아 낮은 전압인 12V로 강하시켜 전장부하 장치의 전원 공급 및 보조 배터리의 충전용으로 사용된다. LDC는 생산 공정 중에 장시간의 부하시험을 하는데 부하시험 시 전력을 100% 열로 방출하는 구조로 에너지 소비가 매우 큰 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 재생형 방식의 부하시험 방법을 제안하여 낭비되는 전력의 75~90%의 에너지 절감을 실현하였다.
