Recently, the sound design of the electric vehicle has emerged as one of the new research objects. This study was conducted to explore and examine major values of interior driving sound of the electric vehicle from the perspective of user experience. An exploratory study based on the ground theory extracted contextual information and quietness as independent variables, and then we analyzed the main and interaction effects of those two variables on the usefulness, emotion, and satisfaction through a $2{\times}2$ factorial experimental design. The experimental study demonstrated that the effect on the user experience of electric vehicle can be conditioned by the combination of contextual information sound and quietness. Based on the results of this study, we suggested future research agendas for the optimization of user needs which reflect individual preference of interior driving sound values.

This paper proposes the boost type bidirectional zero current switching(ZCS) DC/DC converter of transformer series construction for electric vehicle operation using low voltage battery. This converter can high boost through the double voltage circuit and series construction of output part using two converters. This converter system has the advantages that bidirectional power transfer is excellent, size and making of transformer because of this converter keeps the transformation ratio to 1:1. Proposed DC/DC converter uses the ZCS method to decrease the switching loss. By replacing reactance ingredients of L-C resonance circuit for ZCS with leakage inductance ingredients of high frequency transformer and half-bridge capacitor it reduces system size and expense because of not add special reactor. It can confirm to output of high voltage to operate the electric vehicle with low voltage of input and operation of ZCS in all load region through the result of PSIM simulation and experiment.

This paper describes a development of traction unit for 2-motor driven electric vehicle (EV). The traction unit is consisted with an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), a reduction gear and an inverter for electric vehicle that is driven by 2 motors without differential gear. For traction unit, prototype IPMSM and inverter have been developed. The IPMSM was designed by CAD program that was developed with both equivalent circuit method and FEM. Also the inverter was developed to drive 2 motors with 6 legs IGBT switches in a control board. The vector control algorithm was implemented with maximum torque control method in the constant torque region and field weakening control method in the constant power region considering inverter capacity. To verify that the traction unit is more high efficiency and has more high power density than a traction unit with induction motor with the same power, we would like to show the results about the design and analysis of the IPMSM and the experiment results about the traction unit.

최근 EV(Electric Vehicle), PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle) 등 친환경 차량의 개발 및 출시가 진행되고 있고 이들 친환경 차량의 궁극적 목적은 엔진과 배터리 혹은 배터리 단독 사용에 의한 고연비, 배기가스 배출 저감 등을 목적으로 하고 있다. 하지만 기존 내연기관 차량과 비교시 차량가격이 높게 형성되어 시장 활성화는 다소 시간이 소요될 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 친환경 차량 기술은 신차에만 국한되어 적용되고 있고 현재 도로상에서 운행중인 대부분의 차량은 기존의 저연비, 다량의 배기가스 배출문제를 여전히 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대안으로 기존의 차량 보조배터리에 지능형 배터리 센서(IBS, Intelligent Battery Sensor)를 장착하고 이를 통해 ISG(Idle Stop&Go)을 수행하는 Mild HEV 형태의 차량이 개발되고 있다.

Currently, various policies regarding ecofriendly vehicles are being proposed to reduce carbon emissions. In this study, the required areas for charging electric vehicle (EV) batteries using electricity produced by photovoltaic (PV) power plants were estimated. First, approximately 2.4 million battery EVs, which represented 10% of the total number of vehicles, consume approximately 404 GWh. Second, the power required for charging batteries is approximately 0.3 GW, and the site area of the PV power plant is 4.62 ㎢, which accounts for 0.005% of the national territory. Third, from the available sites of buildings based on the region, Jeju alone consumes approximately 0.2%, while the rest of the region requires approximately 0.1%. Fourth, Seoul, which has the smallest available area of mountains and farmlands, utilizes 0.34% of the site for PV power plants, while the other parts of the region use less than 0.1%. The results of this study confirmed that the area of the PV power plant site for producing battery-charging power generated through the supply of EVs is very small. Therefore, it is desirable to analyze and implement more specific plans, such as efficient land use, forest damage minimization, and safe maintenance, to expand renewable energy, including PV power.

Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) method becomes more and more popular for the Electric Vehicle (EV) battery charger due to its convenience and safety in comparison with plugged-in charger. In recent years, Lithium batteries are increasingly used in EVs and Constant Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV) charge needs to be adopted for the high efficiency charge. However, it is not easy to design the IPT Battery Charger which can charge the battery with CC/CV charge under the wide range of load variation due to the wide range of variation in its operating frequency. This paper propose a new design and control method which makes it possible to implement the CC/CV mode charge with minimum frequency variation (less than 1kHz) during all over the charge process. A 6.6kW prototype charge has been implemented and 96.1% efficiency was achieved with 20cm air gap between the coils.

In respond to climate change caused by global environmental problems, countries around the world are actively promoting the advancement of new electricity industries. The new energy business is being applied to energy storage systems (ESS), electric vehicle charging business, and power demand response using cutting edge technologies. In 2022, the Korean government is also establishing a policy stance to foster new energy industries and making efforts to improve its responsiveness to power demand response with the innovative technologies. In Korea, attempts to commercialize energy power are also being made in the private and public sectors to control energy power in houses, buildings, and industries. For example, private companies, local governments, and central government are making all-out efforts to develop new energy industry models through joint investment. There are forms such as establishing energy-independent facilities by region, establishing an electric vehicle charging system, controlling urban lighting systems with Information technologies, and managing demand between power suppliers and power consumers. This study examined the business model applied with energy storage system, electric vehicle charging business, smart lighting, and power demand response based on information communication technology to examine the site where smart energy system was introduced. According to this study, company missions and government tasks are suggested to apply new energy business technologies as economical energy solutions that meet the purpose of use by region, industry, and company.

The cold plate used for a CEU(Control Electronics Unit) of an EV(Electric Vehicle) is extremely important since the dissipation of the heat generated from power devices like IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) and diode has a significant effect on the performance as well as the durability of the CED. The cold plate consists of seven power devices, and coolant flows through the passage bonded to a groove of the cold plate. In order to find out heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics, series of numerical analyses for the cold plate with enhanced coolant passages were conducted. Based on results of the numerical analyses, an improved model of the cold plate has been proposed. The experiments under the various conditions have been conducted to compare the performance of the proposed cold plate to the present one. As a result of the numerical analyses together with the experiments, the ideal design of the cold plate could be offered.
