Abstract

The paper proposes and then demonstrates the viability of high frequency AC (HFAC) for propulsion power distribution system in the next generation advanced electric/hybrid vehicle. In justifying this viability, the HFAC system has been studied thoroughly and compared with the traditional DC distribution system with regard to cost, weight, performance and other capabilities after performing component sizing calculation of both the systems. The superior features of HFAC system are highlighted, and its possible drawbacks an mentioned. The DC, resonant link DC and HFAC (single-phase and polyphase) distribution systems have been discussed. The single phase HFAC system is shows to be superior to the others. A preliminary modelling, control strategy development and computer simulation study validate the feasibility of HFAC for propulsion power distribution system
