42V 차량용 에너지 관리장치를 위한 양방향 DC/DC 컨버터의 개발

Abstract

The amount of electric energy used in a vehicle will be increased continuously. The increment of electric power demand causes interest on new higher power system such as 42V Power Net. Furthermore, the necessity for development of energy storage device is highlighted recently. Bidirectional nm Converter is one of the important parts in 42V power system. Therefore, this paper proposes bidirectional Cascade Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter which can satisfies required specifications in 42V power system The operation principle is described along with simple control method, and experimental results on a 500W prototype are provided.
