Patent number: 11962235Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a modular multi-level DC/DC power electronic converter for transferring power from or between a higher-voltage DC network and a lower-voltage DC network. The power electronic converter features a series connection of low-voltage voltage source modules (VSM) and a current source module (CSM). The series connection of the sub-module elements forms a string. The higher-voltage DC network is interfaced to the converter by connecting across the outer terminals of the string. The lower-voltage DC network is interfaced to the converter through the CSM.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Inventors: Philippe Gray, Peter Waldemar Lehn

Patent number: 11951855Abstract: A powertrain for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle applications with integrated three-phase AC charging featuring buck-boost operation and optional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability, along with corresponding methods and machine instruction sets for switch control. The powertrain can include of a three-phase current source converter (CSC) front-end with an associated input filter, a polarity inversion module, and in an embodiment, a dual-inverter motor drive. The dual-inverter drive is the source of both the back emf and requisite DC inductance for the CSC. A compact design is thus provided as no additional magnetics are required and the on-board cooling system required for traction mode can be re-deployed for charging and V2G mode. The powertrain is mode shifted between charging and V2G mode through an optional polarity inversion module.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ELEAPPOWER LTD.Inventors: Peter Lehn, Philippe Gray
