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.

Role of battery capacity in charging habits of battery electric vehicle users
Řehořek, T.
This paper is focused on the role of battery capacity in charging habits of battery electric vehicle (BEV) users. For this purpose, a simulation that mimics the users’ behavior was created. Using this simulation, the differences in charging frequencies in vehicles with different battery capacities were studied. Using the same simulation, a load shape of power demand was derived that showcases how the technological advances in regard to increased battery capacities may affect this power demand.
