Flexible Multiport Converter Technology

该项目将针对电动汽车进入大众市场的主要障碍之一，即连接电池、牵引系统、辅助储能装置(如超级电容器)和酒店负载(12V)的直流电力系统的规模和成本。将设计并演示50千瓦级别的灵活DC-DC转换器技术，该技术将在一个集成单元中连接四个不同的电压轨，提供所需的功率流功能和控制。

This project will target one of the main obstacles to the mass-market take up of electric vehicles, namely the size and cost of the electrical DC power system that interconnects the battery, the traction system, an auxillary energy storage such as a super-capacitor, and the ‘hotel’ load (12V). A flexible DC-DC converter technology will be devised and demonstrated at the 50 kW level, which, in one integrated unit, will interface the four different voltage rails, providing the required power flow functionality and control.
