An integrated power conversion apparatus for an electric vehicle according to the present disclosure includes a first H-bridge converter with one side connected to a high voltage battery; a three-winding transformer in which a primary winding is connected to the other side of the first H-bridge converter; a second H-bridge converter with one side which is connected to a secondary winding of the three-winding transformer; an AC-DC converter in which one side is connected to the other side of the second H-bridge converter and the other side is selectively connected to a motor or a power system; and a low voltage stage converter in which one side is selectively connected to a tertiary winding of the three-winding transformer through a selective switch and the other side is connected to a low voltage battery.

Integrated power conversion apparatus for electric vehicle and control method thereof

According to the integrated power conversion apparatus and method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the on-board battery charger (OBC), the lower voltage battery charger (LDC), and the traction converter (TC) are integrated to convert the power so that all the functions which need to be performed by the power conversion system of the related art can be performed. Further, the number of switches is reduced to increase a power density and not only the number of switches, but also the number of controllers is reduced to improve feasibility.

Integrated power conversion apparatus for xEV and integrated power conversion method thereof

The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a multilevel converter, the method including, detecting modulation state values and current directions of sub-modules, and designating, by one sub-module, an average number of switching for each period of an output waveform, wherein the step of designating the average number of switching includes, grouping the sub-modules according to being in ON state or in OFF state, comparing the number of sub-modules in previous ON state and the number of sub-modules in OFF state to obtain a difference therebetween, and changing a state as much as the difference, comparing a sub-module of ON state in charged state and in discharged state with a sub-module of OFF state, and changing the compared states of sub-modules of ON state and OFF state.

Method for controlling multilevel converter

A method of controlling a multilevel converter is provided. In the method of controlling a multilevel converter according to an embodiment, a sub-module having the maximum voltage and a sub-module having the minimum voltage respectively are extracted from among a plurality of sub-modules. An amount of state variation of each of the plurality of sub-modules is determined. When the amount of state variation is not determined to be 0, a direction of a current flowing through the plurality of sub-modules is detected. A subsequent state of at least one sub-module is determined according to at least one of the amount of the state variation and current direction. Subsequently an arrangement time for sub-module values can be efficiently reduced while the number of the sub-modules increases in the voltage balancing.
