A Resonant Dc Link Inverter for an Electric Vehicle
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the development of a resonant DC link inverter for an electric vehicle application. The resonant link frequency is approximately 70kHz and the inverter drives a low voltage 2.2kW AC induction motor. The IGBT inverter operates off a 240V DC supply and an active clamping circuit limits the resonant bus voltage to 500V. A synchronized PWM scheme is used to modulate the resonant inverter. Experimental results showing the operation of the resonant inverter in motoring and regenerating modes are given. A performance comparison of hard switching and resonant inverters with respect to power losses and motor current THD is provided, and it is shown that at PWM frequencies greater than 10kHz the resonant inverter is more efficient.

Introduction and Analysis of a Novel Quasi - Series Resonant DC Link
Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

Abstract: Over the years, it has seen the power conditioning move from simple, but extravagant linear regulators, through early low frequency pulse-width modulated systems, to high-frequency square wave converters, which pack the same power handling capabilities of earlier designs into a fraction of their size and weight. At present, a novel attack is upon us the resonant mode converter and whi...

The paper introduces soft switching of a Boost Converter which can be included in the Electrical Vehicle technology. In order to raise the motor power rating, the DC link Vehicles, there is a great need for less component stress, smaller voltage of inverter up to 400V, and higher efficiency. The conventional Boost Converter generates switching loss at turn on and off thus the whole system's eff...

-The inspiration for the use of the resonant inverter shoots from an aspiration to minimise the switching losses in the inverter devices. This paper portrays an exhaustive study on losses in the resonant DC link inverter. Equations for accessing the diverse losses in the resonant DC link inverter and a corresponding hard switching inverter are developed. Based on these equations, a design optim...
