The use of a bi-directional dc-dc converter in motor drives devoted to EVs allows a suitable control of both motoring and regenerative braking operations. In particular, during motoring operations of a battery-fed dc motor drive, a dc-dc converter is to be used to adjust the motor current in order to follow the torque reference signal. On the other hand, a bi-directional arrangement of the converter is needed for the reversal of the power flow, in order to recover the vehicle kinetic energy in the battery by means of motor drive regenerative braking operations. This paper deals with the study and comparison of two bi-directional buck-boost converter topologies. Each of them allows stepping the battery voltage level either up or down, according to motor drive modes of operation. For each converter topology computer simulations of modes of operation are presented together with experimental test results.

Abstract
The use of a bi-directional dc-dc converter in motor drives devoted to EVs allows a suitable control of both motoring and regenerative braking operations. In particular, during motoring operations of a battery-fed dc motor drive, a dc-dc converter is to be used to adjust the motor current in order to follow the torque reference signal. On the other hand, a bi-directional arrangement of the converter is needed for the reversal of the power flow, in order to recover the vehicle kinetic energy in the battery by means of motor drive regenerative braking operations. This paper deals with the study and comparison of two bi-directional buck-boost converter topologies. Each of them allows stepping the battery voltage level either up or down, according to motor drive modes of operation. For each converter topology computer simulations of modes of operation are presented together with experimental test results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
