Elektree’s OBC solutions are a power-packed punch of modular and scalable goodness. Harnessing our expertise in the dark arts of power electronics and semiconductors, we’ve conjured up Si, SiC, and GaN-powered charmers that meet the high standards of automotive sorcery. And with bi-directional power flow from our wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors, we’re unlocking future spells like V2L, V2H, and V2G – the ultimate party tricks.
Stay charged and ready to go with Elektree’s on-board battery chargers (OBC)
The EV’s on-board charger (OBC) is the life of the party, recharging the high-voltage (HV) main battery from the AC dance floor while the car’s parked. Longer driving ranges of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) are achieved by amping up the battery capacities and energy efficiencies of electric components. Typical development targets are efficient power conversion for 400 V and 800 V systems, power density, reliability, and bi-directional (instead of unidirectional) power flow to enable future use cases (V2L, V2H, and V2G). The battery voltage classes used tend to be standardized at approximately 450 V, with a trend towards higher voltages as this supports faster charging times and lighter cabling within the vehicle.
Discrete high-voltage components are the life of the party for on-board charging applications, as price pressures increasingly displace module-based solutions. The trend towards fast charging also impacts the power range demanded from OBC topologies. Therefore, new designs trend towards 11 kW or even up to 22 kW. This development, paired with a demand for high efficiency and power density at low system cost, is a strong driver for the usage of three-phase solutions.
Optimize EV battery management with Elektree’s on-board charging (OBC) technology
We continuously innovative our product solutions for the electric vehicle (EV) market, ensuring that our customers can achieve their desired driving ranges with maximum energy efficiency. Explore some of Infineon’s system approach benefits below.
A typical OBC application consists of a PFC and a HV-HV DC-DC stage.
PFC stage:
– Correction >0.9
– DC link voltage regulation
– EMC input filter
– Total harmonic distortion <10%
Typically realized via standard boost topology or totem pole topology.
HV-HV DC-DC converter:
– OBC output voltage regulation
– Setting charge current
– Reinforced galvanic isolation
– EMC output filter
Typically realized via (C)LLC, ZVS PS FB, or DAB topologies.
