1 kV 150 A Bidirectional Isolated DC/DC Converter With Full Range ZVS For Charger Application

Conference ·
This paper focusses on the development of a bidirectional DC/DC converter based on dual active bridge (DAB) converter for 1 kV class fast charger applications. A novel modulation technique is proposed to achieve zero voltage switching across the entire operating range of a vehicle battery system. The topology includes a tap changer to support multiple class of vehicles. The full range ZVS operation will allow high efficiency operation even at light load, reduced dv/dt to improve transformer insulation lifetime and mitigate EMI impact. A 1 kV class, 150 A prototype was developed to validate the proposed concepts.
