This study presents design, analysis and application details of electrical vehicle battery charge device based on half bridge DC-DC converter. Half bridge DC-DC converter in the paper has 620 W power, 25 kHz switching frequency and input DC voltage is obtained by uncontrolled bridge rectifier. In addition, information about the battery that is charged, and battery pack are given. Besides, a protection structure of battery is added by measuring both current and voltage of battery. Firstly, equations required for half bridge DC-DC converter is derived and simulation of battery charge circuit is realized by using PSIM and MATLAB/Simulink. Then, the results of the experimental study and the simulation results are given comparatively. The experimental results prove the accuracy of the simulation studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
