Abstract Integrated On-Board Battery chargers (IOBCs) have shown promise as an elegant charging solution for electric vehicles in recent literature. On the other hand, multiphase machines have shown several potentials due to their exceptional advantages over three-phase competitors. Although the three-phase charging technique has been extensively discussed in the literature, single-phase charging is also a promising research topic. The Predictive Current Control (PCC) approach has shown many benefits, including a straightforward algorithm, simple implementation, comparatively quick response, and appropriate performance when compared to conventional control techniques. In this thesis, the impact of single-phase charging of a six-phase-based IOBC system with different winding configurations using PCC is investigated, which has not been conceived thus far. Under single-phase charging, the zero-sequence current component is utilized and the grid charging current is to be three times the winding phase current value. The zero-sequence subspace impedance plays a major role in filtering and smoothing the grid current during charging. However, since the employed winding has a significant impact on the impedance of the zero-sequence subspace, the performance of PCC with different winding layouts of either induction machine (IM) or permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is investigated and compared. The proposed method is experimentally validated using a 1.1 kW six-phase IM and a 2 kW PMSM. |
