In order to make electric vehicles more and more attractive, it is essential to improve the range flow rate1 under limited charging infrastructures. Therefore, a universal input and high power electric energy conversion will impose new requirements on powe ...
Today, there is a long-term trend towards bi-directional and flexible charger functions for not only drawing current from the grid but also feeding excess energy back into it. The Configurable Modular Multilevel Converter (CMMC) offers a large flexibility ...
Nowadays, there is a very high number of electronic devices with different ranges of power. Desktop peripherals and cellphones are an example of widely used low power devices. Contactless power transfer is useful to supply or recharge these devices without ...
With the increasing trend of mobility of the human population, vehicles have to face the problem of primary energy resources scarcity. The vehicles need higher efficiency and better adaptation to the alternative energy sources. The need to improve the effi ...
An evident issue for electric vehicle (EV) is the limited average speed while driving long distances. This paper will provide a better understanding of EV requirements in order to make the electric vehicles more compatible for long distance driving. Batter ...
Electric Vehicle (EV) owners are confronted by the limited compatibility of available charging infrastructures. Therefore, this paper is focused on presenting a Configurable Modular Multilevel Converter (CMMC) for a universal and flexible integrated chargi ...
