Abstract

This paper proposes a new buck-boost flying-capacitor (FC) converter for the DC-DC stage of an Electric Vehicle (EV) fast charging station. The proposed converter is capable of delivering a wide output range of voltage to charge different battery configurations. The converter has two modes of operation, buck and boost. Thanks to this feature, the proposed converter allows higher efficiency and a wide operating range. The proposed converter is capable of supplying a voltage range from 200 V to 1000 V at its output, which shows the feasibility of occupying the converter inside a charging station that allows charging 400 V and 800 V battery systems. The average efficiency reported is over 97%. It is concluded that the proposed buck-boost FC converter is suitable for modern wide-output EV fast charging applications.
