A Novel Eight Switches Inverter Topology For Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle, Omar Hegazy, Joeri Van Mierlo Mar 2010

A Novel Eight Switches Inverter Topology For Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle, Omar Hegazy, Joeri Van Mierlo

Dr. Eng. Omar Hegazy

In this paper, a novel inverter topology, Eight Switches Inverter (ESI), is proposed for HEV, especially PHEV system to reduce the number of switches, and to achieve high performance during discharging mode, braking mode and charging mode from grid. Thereby, this topology gives the ability to connect the vehicle with grid at home or at work to charge the Energy Storage System (ESS) easily, especially the battery unit. In addition, the cost and the volume of the power electronics unit (PEU) have reduced. In this research, there are two control strategies have tested to validate the performance of the proposed …
