93736 - POWER ELECTRONIC CONVERTERS M

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course initially provides supplements of linear and non-linear electric circuits with special emphasis towards power electronic circuits for electric vehicles. The digital controllers for power electronic converters are also examined, such as DSP boards, digital microcontrollers, FPGA systems. The main power electronic switches employed in the electric vehicles are introduced, such as power diodes, Mosfets, IGBTs, SiC and emerging power components. The considered converter configurations, and the corresponding modulation strategies, are: passive and active single-phase and three-phase rectifiers (vehicle power interface with the electric grid), three-phase inverters (vehicle motor drive), dc/dc choppers configurations (on board and off board battery chargers). Battery charging modes for electric vehicles are introduced and duscussed. The features Grid-to- Vehicle (G2V), Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), and Vehicle-for-Grid (V4G) are considered for the regulation of the power converters, with reference to both off board dc fast charging stations and onboard ac chargers.
