Week 4 Session 5

There is a huge role of power converters to convert the power to different forms so that these can be utilized for different purposes. Most popular applications of the power converters in the ev industries are being discussed below one by one.

• Onboard charger as power converter  is generally used to convert AC power from grid to DC power to charge EVs. It helps to reduce input voltage to much lower output voltage.

• DC to DC converters are utilized to change the level of voltage as per demand. There are few crucial procedures which are dependent on DC to  DC power converters and these are the power of the electronic control unit, charging of auxiliary batteries. Electric motor driving procedure, providing power in the light and climate control system.

• There is huge popularity of inverters as power converters. It changes DC  power to AC power so that the electrical motor can be controlled most appropriately by varying voltage and frequency of the AC power.

• Power converter as DC DC converter in  ev charger is used to down the level of applied voltage to charge the ev battery.

There are also applications of Power converters in . Traction inverters, battery management systems and many other systems in ev industries.
