Project Title
HCBCSC – New hybrid dc-dc switching converter families with applications in battery charging systems for electric vehicles and solar energy conversion
Goal of the project
The project proposes three new dc-dc hybrid converter families suitable for solar energy processing and battery charging systems.
Short description of the project
HCBCSC (New hybrid dc-dc switching converter families with applications in battery charging systems for electric vehicles and solar energy conversion), is an 18-month research project funded by “Unitatea Executiva pentru Finantarea Invatamantului Superior, a Cercetarii, Dezvoltarii si Inovarii (UEFISCDI) Programul 1 – Dezvoltarea sistemului național de cercetare-dezvoltare Subprogramul 1.1 – Resurse umane/Proiecte de Cercetare Postdoctorală, PN-III-P1-1.1-PD-2019“.
Synthesis, analysis, simulation and practical validation of three new hybrid converter families with emphasis on two topologies from each family. Therefore, in total 6 new converters will be investigated. Two converters out of the six will be used for energy conversion in two applications: a battery charging system from the single phase mains as a solution in automotive industry and a solar energy conversion system comprising a PV panel and also including MPPT control.
Main activities
A1. Ć-SC family. Theoretical development of the Ć-SC family. Topologies operation validation by simulation and experimental prototypes for 2 converters.
A2. S-SC family. Theoretical development of the S-SC family. Converters operation validation by simulation and hardware test for 2 converters.
A3. SN-SC family Theoretical development of the SN-SC family. Topologies validation by simulation
and experimental prototypes for 2 converters.
A4. Comparative study of the 6 new developed topologies and final decision about the converter that is best suited in the battery charging system and in the solar energy system.
A5. Battery charger system based on the proposed converter topology. Design of the current mode control and charging profiles. Measurements and evaluation of the system performance.
A6. Design and practical implementation of the solar energy conversion system and its MPPT control; LabView programs for long term monitoring of system behavior in different environmental conditions.
