Review design of E-Motorcycle charger topology for DC house using planar magnetics

Abstract

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.

Analysis of power quality and economic worthiness of electric motorcycle charging in a residential electrical system

“…This study identified a number of elements and obstacles in the development of EV charging control in nextgeneration smart grid applications, as well as possible solutions. Although having a sufficient number of charging stations to meet demand is important in encouraging the use and adoption of EMCs, the effect of EMC charging on the electrical infrastructure must be taken into account to prevent the dangers of electrical and electromagnetic interference [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Yuwei Jin [17] conducted a sensitivity analysis of active power and voltage to identify the impact of EV charging on different load profiles.…”
