Contributor Ferreira, J.A. (mentor) Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department Electrical Power Engineering Date 2011-09-16 Abstract Increasing fuel prices and political pressure to reduce the pollution in the mobile transport lead to new technologies for electric transport. PEEC-Power B.V. is developing a range extender for parallel hybrid vehicles and wants to contribute to the transition towards electric driving. The range extender consists of three subsystems: a combustion engine, a generator and the power electronic system. This thesis is about the design and implementation of this power electronic system. Different circuit topologies are investigated and the bi-directional full bridge topology is chosen based on costs, controllability, weight and efficiency. In order to control the full bridge converter several PWM and control methods are investigated and an optimal solution is proposed based on harmonic distortion, switching losses, robustness and DSP implementation. A test setup is build and the proposed PWM and control method is implemented. Measurements are carried out on switching behavior, efficiency and harmonic distortion. The measurement results are compared to the calculated and simulated results. Based on this comparison conclusions and recommendations are presented.
