Abstract: A military vehicle including an engine coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle, a motor/generator coupled to the engine, and an energy storage system including a battery electrically coupled to the motor/generator. The military vehicle is operable in a silent mobility mode with the engine inactive and the energy storage system providing power to the motor/generator to operate the military vehicle. The motor/generator and the battery are sized such that electrical power generation through engine drive of the motor/generator is greater than the power depletion through operation of the military vehicle in the silent mobility mode. The motor/generator can charge the energy storage system while the military vehicle is driving or stationary.

The power circuit includes a bidirectional dc-dc power converter, a matrix-switch power converter, and an auxiliary energy storage unit capable of exchanging energy with each cell of the battery segment. The master control manages the feedback signals from the battery management system, such as cell voltage and power required/provided by/from the battery pack of the electric vehicle system, and decides which of the following slave operations should be activated: (i) equalization control algorithm with adjustable current using genetic algorithms, (ii) cell energy support control algorithm with adjustable current, or (iii) algorithm for estimation of the resistance and state-of-health of each cell based on the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique.

Abstract: A solar charging system includes a first battery, a second battery, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry charges the second battery by supplying electric power from the first battery to the second battery when a state of charge of the first battery is greater than or equal to a prescribed upper limit value, and charges the first battery by stopping supply of electric power from the first battery to the second battery when the state of charge of the first battery is less than or equal to a prescribed lower limit value. A range from the upper limit value to the lower limit value is a range of use of the first battery. The processing circuitry changes the range of use such that the range of use is wider when a degree of degradation of the first battery is high than when the degree of degradation is low.

Abstract: A charger for a vehicle includes a power factor correction (PFC) stage to convert AC input power to DC power; an inverter stage; and a transformer having first, second, and OBC coils, each being magnetically coupled for transmitting power therebetween. The OBC coil is connected to the inverter stage, a high-voltage (HV) power converter is connected to the first coil to charge an HV battery connected thereto, and a low-voltage (LV) power converter is connected to the second coil to charge an LV battery connected thereto. The charger is operable in an onboard charger (OBC) mode to transfer the input power to charge the HV battery from the AC input power. The charger is also operable in a DC-DC mode to transfer power from the HV battery to the LV battery, and a wireless power transfer (WPT) mode to receive power from a transceiver coil for charging the HV battery.
