Abstract:

As one of the important parts of PEV (Pure Electric Vehicles), the efficiency and power density of DC/DC converter are important indicators of its performance. The efficiency of hard-switching DC/DC converter is low, so it can’t meet the requirements of PEV. To overcome such kind of problems, a DC/DC converter of 12V-30A output for PEV with LLC half-bridge resonant circuit and synchronous rectification technology is presented in this paper. Firstly, the operational principle of LLC half-bridge resonant circuit is analyzed in detail. Then the parameters of resonant network are designed based on theoretical analysis and verified. Finally, an experimental prototype of 12V-30A output for PEV is built and the efficiency is over 90%. The experimental results and running performance in PEV of the presented DC/DC converter is good enough to replace the 12V Lead-acid battery, which has broad application prospects.
