Design Optimization and Electro-thermal Modelling of an Off-Board Charging System for Electric Bus Applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper proposes a co-design optimization procedure of a high-power off-board charger for electric vehicle (EV) applications. The primary purpose is to design a 175 kW SiC DC-charging system with high power density to achieve high efficiency at a wide operating range. For the active part of the DC off-board charger, a three-phase active front end (AFE) rectifier topology is considered in the design optimization and the modelling. The design ...
