Volume reduction of magnetic components in DC/DC converters for fuel cell vehicles
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In power electronic converter systems, the magnetic components are often the bulkiest and heaviest components. This is particularly disadvantageous in automotive applications, where volume, weight and costs are particularly important. Customized core geometries are a promising option to significantly reduce the volume of magnetic components compared to the use of standard core geometries. In this paper, customized magnetic components for an eightfold interleaved boost converter for fuel cell vehicles is presented. The customized core geometries are compared to an equivalent stacked standard core design in terms of enveloping volume and total losses. In addition, further possibilities for improvement in the form of customized coupled inductors that replace the discrete components are shown and discussed.
