Reliability Assessment of a WBG-based Interleaved Bidirectional HV DC/DC Converter for Electric Vehicles Drivetrains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Real-Life Mission Profile Oriented Lifetime Estimation of a SiC Interleaved Bidirectional HV DC/DC Converter for Electric Vehicle Drivetrains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The rapid growth of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in the automotive field has led to a need for improving their drivetrain performance, mainly focusing on the extension of the battery operating range. However, the majority of performed technical assessments only consider battery SoC and depth of discharge while neglecting the effects on lifetime and failure probability of power electronic components, more specifically the emerging ...

Efficiency optimization of a 30KW interleaved 4-channels DC/DC converter with variable number of active channels Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper deals with a 30KW Interleaved DC/DC Converter for hybrid electric vehicle power supply system which is composed of a fuel cell/battery as primary source and a supercapacitors module as an intermediate energy storage system. A dedicated DC-DC converter is studied, where the design and control are the result of considerations on energy efficiency. The analysis of the efficiency shows that the efficiency can be improved by using an ...
