본 논문에서는 OBC 전원장치를 이용하여 전기 자동차의 배터리를 충전함에 있어 배터리의 셀 밸런싱을 고려한 충전 기법에 대하여 기술한다. 기존의 OBC 전원장치의 경우 배터리의 온도를 무시한 충전기법이 사용되며, 온도특성에 따라 배터리 수명이 달라지는 문제점을 발생시킨다. 따라서 배터리의 셀 밸런싱을 통해 배터리의 온도를 일정하게 유지하여 배터리 수명 연장시킨다.

Within the project 'e performance' supported by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) an electric vehicle, powered by two lithium-ion battery packs of different capacity and voltage has been developed. The required Energy Management System (EMS) in this system controls the current flows of both packs independently by means of two individual dc-dc converters. It acts as an intermediary between energy storage (battery management systems-BMS) and the drivetrain controller on the vehicle control unit (VCU) as well as the on-board charger. This paper describes the most important tasks of the EMS and its interfaces to the BMS and the VCU. To validate the algorithms before integrating them into the vehicle prototype, a detailed Matlab / Simulink-model was created in the project. Test procedures and results from the simulation as well as experiences and comparisons from the real car are presented at the end.

Emergency batteries on board are used for stairs, pathway lights, and emergency communications during alternator black-out. In addition, there are engine start-up batteries in lifeboats. Typically, these batteries are installed under the Classification Rules. However, Since batteries inside life boats are installed in a confined narrow space, it is difficult to perform regular maintenances. Also, even though there are air vents in the life boat, the temperature inside the life boat often reaches above $65^{\circ}C$, which is much higher than the regulation temperature, $45^{\circ}C$. In this paper, we will summarize the accident of battery explosion occurred in MMU training ship, and possible causes. We will propose preventive measures of battery explosions as well as the revision of the regulation.

PHEV(Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) and BEV(Battery Electric Vehicle) equip high voltage batteries to drive motor and vehicle electric system. Those vehicle require OBC(On-Board Charger) for charging batteries and LDC(Low DC/DC Converter) for converting from high voltage to low voltage. Since the charger and the converter actually separate each other in electrical vehicles, there is a margin to reduce the vehicle weight and area of installation by integration two systems. This paper studies a 1.5kW LDC converter that can be integrated into an OBC using an isolated current-fed converter by simplifying the design of LDC transformers. The proposed LDC can control the final output voltage of the LDC by using a fixed arbitrary output voltage of the bidirectional buck-boost converter, so that Compared to the existing OBC-LDC integrated system, it has the advantage of simplifying the transformer design considering the battery voltage range, converter duty ratio and OBC output turn ratio. Prototype of the proposed LDC was made to confirm normal operation at 200V ~ 400V input voltage and maximum efficiency of 91.885% was achieved at rated load condition. In addition, the OBC-LDC integrated system achieved a volume of about 6.51L and reduced the space by 15.6% compared to the existing independent system.

This paper describes the development of a powertrain for a 20 kW experimental electric vehicle using a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) and its application to a test vehicle. Two 10 kW SPMSMs are used in the powertrain, and two-level inverters are developed by using IGBTs to derive these motors. To control the SPMSM, a control board based on a TMS320F28335 DSP module, which has fast arithmetic function and floating point operator, is used. We develop a 100 V/40 A battery pack, which includes $32{\times}4$ LiFePO4 battery cells using commercial BMS. A commercial on-board charger with 220 V (AC) input and 100 V (DC) and 18 A output is used to charge the battery pack. The performance of the developed vehicle, such as acceleration availability, maximum speed, and maximum power, is estimated based on vehicle dynamics and verified through experiments.

In this paper a new single-stage ac-dc converter with high frequency isolation and low components count is introduced. The proposed converter is constructed using two interleaved boost circuits in the grid side and non-regulating full bridge in the DC side. An optimized switching is implemented on the two interleaved boost circuits resulting in a ripple-free grid current without a ripple cancellation network; hence very small filter inductors are used. A simple and reliable closed-loop control system is easily implemented, since the phase-shift angle is the only independent variable. Moreover, current imbalance is avoided in the presented topology without current control loop in each phase. The proposed charger charges the battery with a sinusoidal-like current instead of a constant direct current. ZVS turn on of all switches is achieved throughout the operation in both directions of power flow without any additional components.
