Abstract

For the practical use of an integrated battery charger (IBC), this paper proposes an improved IBC based on a detailed analysis of the conventional IBC with respect to the inherent limitations such as switching frequency, motor inductance, common-mode noise, power loss, and input current and voltage sensing. Moreover, battery charging performance according to pulse-width-modulated switching schemes is mathematically analyzed and explained. The informative simulation and experimental results are provided with the traction motor/inverter hardware of an actual plug-in hybrid vehicle.
