DC-DC converter for onboard charging of electric vehicles
Holub, Miroslav ; Červinka, Dalibor (referee) ; Folprecht, Martin (advisor)
This master thesis deals with design of DC-DC converter for onboard charging of electric vehicle. Developed converter will mainly be used for charging stationary traction battery in laboratory. Output voltage of this charger will be adjustable by user in between 200 V and 450 V depending on the current charged battery configuration. Output current limit is set at 8 A. Since the converter will be supplied from standard household socket, the problem of power factor correction must be solved during the design. That is because a large part of this thesis is focused on describing the problematics of power factor correction. After that, active PFC module is designed, completed and performance of this module is verified. To achieve low overall losses and thus be able to keep small volume of the system, modern switching components based on Silicon Carbide were preferred. Beside laboratory use, completed system will be used to emphasize volumetric difference between onboard chargers based on old versus modern switching components.

Fast charging of EV vehicles - overview of technologies
Boršoš, Adam ; Charvát, Pavel (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
Charging speed is one of the key parameters that affects the attractiveness of electric cars for drivers. Therefore, it is important to determine the methods that can charge the electric car as quickly as possible. An overview of electric vehicle charging technologies and the identification of those that are considered fast charging has been made. It has been found that the fastest technology is DC charging. A list of six connectors that allow this charging has also been created. These were then compared. An overview of charging networks, that enable fast charging, was made in the next chapter. The three largest providers of charging stations in the Czech Republic and also the two that specialize in fast charging were listed. The topic of battery cooling is also related to charging. Therefore, the following chapter provides an overview of technologies that are used to cool batteries. The last part focuses on the factors that cause the degradation of batteries. An overview of the four main causes of degradation and their effect on the battery was demonstrated.
