“…The main motive power source of electric vehicles uses series-connected batteries. The efficiency of electric vehicles depends on the battery performance [3][4][5]. Lead-acid batteries were widely used in previous electric vehicle applications, but the disadvantages of a lead-acid battery are large size, small capacity, low energy density, short cycle life and so on.…”

LiFePO 4 batteries are suitable for high power applications because of their advantages of large discharge current and high efficiency. Owing to the characteristics of LiFePO 4 batteries, it may cause overcharge/over-discharge and reduce the cycle life of the battery when series-connected batteries are used. This study proposes a charge equaliser based on an interleaved active clamp flyback converter. The interleaved topology reduces the output ripple current. Therefore the rectifier diode conduction loss can be reduced. With a clamp capacitor and leakage inductance, the switches are turned on with zero-voltage switching while the voltage stress of switch is reduced. Furthermore, a constant switching frequency and duty ratio are designed to achieve a simple control for the proposed system. The simulations and experimental results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed charge equaliser.

“…The main systems that need to be integrated are the electric motor and respective controller, an energy storage system and corresponding charging system. Different solutions for the energy storage system are being proposed, however, the most common are batteries [2], [7]- [9]. Therefore, a batteries charging system is also needed.…”

This paper presents the conversion process of a traditional Internal Combustion Engine vehicle into an Electric Vehicle. The main constitutive elements of the Electric Vehicle are presented. The developed powertrain uses a three-phase inverter with Field Oriented Control and space vector modulation. The developed on-board batteries charging system can operate in Grid-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Grid modes. The implemented prototypes were tested, and experimental results are presented. The assembly of these prototypes in the vehicle was made in accordance with the Portuguese legislation about vehicles conversion, and the main adopted solutions are presented.
