Following the global trend of adopting renewable energy into the electric power system, many direct currents (DC) houses concepts are proposed. Most of the renewable energy systems are based on DC voltage sources. This paper discussed the development of a lightweight, low-profile, and built-in electric motorcycle (E-Motorcycle) charger that does not take excessive space and compatible with the DC house system. A topology comparison in high switching frequency above 1 MHz using planar magnetics is performed to select the most suitable DC-DC converter. A wide bandgap (WBG) devices are used to achieve high efficiency in high switching frequency and reduce the charger’s size. Simulation results and design of the selected topology is presented.
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.
