Abstract

In this paper, we propose the development of a power conversion system for electric power take-off (e-PTO) of agricultural electric vehicles. Most e-PTOs use commercial power $220V_{AC}$. A bidirectional power conversion system having a two-stage structure consisting of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter for supplying a high output voltage using a low battery voltage of an agricultural electric vehicle is suitable. we propose a power conversion system consisting of the one-stage dual active bridge (DAB) converter and the two-stage bidirectional full bridge inverter. In addition, we propose a soft start algorithm for reducing the inrush current generated by the link capacitor charging during the initial operation. A 3kW prototype system and its corresponding algorithms have been implemented to verify its effectiveness through experiments.

본 논문은 농업용 전기차량의 전기식 동력인출장치용 전력변환시스템에 대해 제안한다. 대부분의 전기식 동력인출장치(Electric Power Take-Off : e-PTO)는 상용전원 $220V_{AC}$를 사용한다. 농업용 전기차량의 낮은 배터리 전압을 사용하여 높은 출력 전압을 공급하기 위한 DC-DC 컨버터와 DC-AC 인버터로 구성된 2단 구조를 갖는 양방향 전력변환시스템이 적합하다. 제안하는 전력변환시스템은 1단의 Dual Active Bridge(DAB)컨버터와 2단의 양방향 풀 브릿지 인버터로 구성된다. 또한, 초기 구동시 DC 버스단 커패시터 충전에 의해 발생되는 돌입 전류 저감을 위해 소프트 스타트 알고리즘을 제안한다. 3kW급 전력변환시스템 시제품 및 알고리즘을 구현하고 실험을 통해서 실용성을 입증하였다.
