A Multi-Functional Integrated Onboard Charger for Dual-Motor Driving EVs

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, to achieve versatile, cost-effective charging for dual-motor EVs, a multi-functional integrated onboard charger is constructed using a dual-motor driving system. In the driving mode, a five-phase flux-switching permanent-magnet (FSPM) motor powers the front, while a three-phase FSPM motor drives the rear. While in the charging mode, different topologies are adopted for different application scenarios, such as the single-phase AC charging mode, the three-phase AC charging mode, and the DC charging mode. The five-phase FSPM motor and its inverters serve as a boost-based AC/DC converter in both single-phase and three-phase AC charging modes, transforming grid power to DC. In the DC charging mode, they are reconfigured to function as a buck converter. During the three-phase AC charging mode, the three-phase FSPM motor and its inverters take on the role of a rear-stage buck converter. They function to regulate the rectified DC voltage, ensuring it meets battery charging needs. The performance of the integrated charger is validated through simulation and experiment results.
