Control of the charging electronics in an Electric Vehicle

Context and Objectives

For the control of the charging electronics in an Electric vehicle, a control concept has to be designed with a focus on ripple minimization during charging. The developed control algorithm was later programmed on the target hardware and verified on the existing charger.

Realisation

• Model Design the control concept – current and voltage control
• Simulative controller design for controlling the selected topology
• Embedded software development of the simulated control concept and programming on the target Microcontroller
• Integration and validation on the charger

Test of Interfaces and Interoperability

• Communication
• Error injection
• Reaction and switching times

Results

• Tested and integrated control algorithm
• Stable current and voltage control
