Multilevel converters are used to improve the traction converter of modern electric vehicles (EV). Such topologies can be applied even to low-power converter such as dc-dc auxiliary converters, to improve the EV overall efficiency. The low voltage rating of auxiliary circuits implies the usage of low-cost hardware both for power as well for control platforms. A cost-effective explicit model predictive control (eMPC) is designed for a three-level neutral point clamped step-down dc-dc auxiliary converter and compared to an eMPC for a two-level solution. Both eMPCs are compared to a classical PI-type voltage control.

Abstract
Multilevel converters are used to improve the traction converter of modern electric vehicles (EV). Such topologies can be applied even to low-power converter such as dc-dc auxiliary converters, to improve the EV overall efficiency. The low voltage rating of auxiliary circuits implies the usage of low-cost hardware both for power as well for control platforms. A cost-effective explicit model predictive control (eMPC) is designed for a three-level neutral point clamped step-down dc-dc auxiliary converter and compared to an eMPC for a two-level solution. Both eMPCs are compared to a classical PI-type voltage control.File in questo prodotto:
