Electric drive systems are one of the most important components of our life; billions of them are used in industry, traffic applications and private environment. In the recent past an accelerated development of controlled drive systems could be experienced. The scientific and technical background of today’s most important drive systems, the converter controlled DC-drives and the vector controll...

Abstract: This paper presents an on-board vehicular battery charger that integrates bidirectional AC/DC converter and DC/DC converter to achieve high power density for application in electric vehicles (EVs). The integrated charger is able to transfer electrical energy between the battery pack and the electric traction system and to function as an AC/DC battery charger. The integrated charger to...
