Also, there are many applications in which DAB converter is employed, as energy-storage systems (ESS) or power flow regulation among DC buses. The selection of the most appropriate modulation is a design challenge. Therefore, this paper presents the analytical equations of switching, RMS and AVG currents for different modulation methods proposed in literature for DAB converter. To this end, voltage and current waveforms through the transformer have been characterized. Afterwards, these waveforms are employed to extract the analytical equations of the currents for future power losses evaluation. Finally, PLECS simulation model have been developed to validate the analytical equations obtained in this paper for a MEA case study.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76584907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despites the advantages they still suffer from high torque pulsation and acoustic noise, which can be reduced by the controller. In this paper the concern is in having an advanced current control, so it is used the model predictive control (MPC). This requires an accurate model to estimate the future behavior of current and the back-electromotive force (emf) signal is essential. As this signal cannot be directly calculated or measured it is proposed a new algorithm to calculate its estimation in real time. The algorithm is easy to implement and the numerical results show the accuracy of the method, which permits a very low current estimation error in the MPC framework.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75291265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new transformer equivalent circuit model is presented which accurately predicts the transformer performance. A thorough analysis of the proposed model and a commonly used model is compared and presented. Three foil-wound and three wire-wound transformers with different turns ratio are constructed, with the purpose of evaluating the accuracy of the transformer models impedance prediction. Both models accurately predict the transformer impedance for a turns-ratio equal to one. With turns-ratios different from one, the commonly used model predicts wrong impedance, whereas the proposed model remains accurate. The error in the predicted equivalent capacitance of the measurements is between 32%-170% when using the commonly used model, while it is only 0.6%-9.8% when using the proposed model. The proposed model is therefore the only model that provides accurate impedance analysis for any turns-ratio in any operation scenario.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79925638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standardization plays a key role to ensure the deployment of a safe, cost effective, energy efficient, sustainable BEBs fleet. Standardization of components, interoperability, generalized recharge possibility, and even the possibility of using the BEBs as controllable loads, with energy storage that can be returned to the grid, must be done. This paper presents the most relevant legislation at European level, the International and European standardization outline in the field of BEBs, and the most important standardization activities going on.

In HEVs, while distributing the driver demand to the powertrain actuators, a standard approach is to approximate the actuator energy conversion dynamics with steady-state maps, which leads to sub-optimal control policy and increased fuel & energy consumption, especially for a driving mission with high transient demands. To address this shortfall, the control strategy proposed in this paper explicitly integrates an experimentally validated dynamic model of gasoline internal combustion engine (ICE) into an MPC based power-split controller. The proposed strategy is validated in a parallel HEV platform, where the sensitivity of the HEV energy consumption w.r.t. its actuator dynamics and the transients in its load demands, is also established. The results enable an understanding of the energy saving potential in HEVs that supports the inclusion of actuator dynamic models in optimal power-split controllers and it also establishes that the proposed control strategy realises higher energy and fuel savings in HEVs.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81968797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
