Title:
POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/013975
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Converters (8-1, 8-2) are arranged to perform a bi-directional DC voltage conversion of the I/O power of secondary batteries (6-1, 6-2) during normal operation. In a predetermined mode for charging the secondary batteries (6-1, 6-2), at least one of the converters (8-1, 8-2) does not perform a switching operation but fixes the upper arm elements (Q1B, Q2B) in the on state and charges the secondary batteries (6-1, 6-2) without generating switching loss. Consequently, power loss in the converter is reduced when the secondary batter is charged and charging efficiency can be enhanced.
