Abstract: An integrated portable extremely fast charger (XFC) may be installed for heavy-duty off-road vehicles, such as tractors and combine harvesters. The XFC shortens the charging period of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by providing >500 kW in a single charger. The proposed XFC integrates a solar farm and local energy storage system (ESS) such that the local grid only needs to provide the power gap between the vehicle battery and the local ESS during charging events, yielding a low-cost XFC installation and higher renewable energy penetration. Two design approaches for the XFC, conductive and wireless, are based on multiphase interleaved dc-dc converter circuit, permitting flexible access to electricity. Smart fault protection mechanism is also proposed to achieve high safety during charging events. The hexagonal prism charger may be integrated into the power electronic devices with a transformer, yielding a high compactness and power density.

Abstract: With the fasting growth of renewable energy resources and DC supplied loads, DC electrical systems have been increasingly received attentions all over the world. DC breaker systems play a key role in protection systems for disconnecting sources and loads, and they are also used mainly for removing faulted sections from the system accurately and reliably. Solid state DC breakers benefit from fast response time and compactness features; however, due to the lack of zero current realization and high-power losses, the reliability and efficiency of these devices is low. The system proposes a solid-state DC breaker for medium voltage DC (MVDC) systems. The presented structure have two main parts: 1) a main conduction branch including stacked MV Silicon-Carbide (SiC) devices to improve the efficiency and provide a fast response time, 2) a breaker branch including a wireless capacitive coupling to avoid metal-to-metal contact and increase the overall reliability, and also a modular current pulse power supply to realize zero-current switching.
