Abstract: A method is provided for charging a vehicle (10) with high-voltage components (11) at a fast-charging station (20). The method includes ascertaining a prevailing noise level around the vehicle (10) while operating noise (21) produced by the vehicle (10) itself during charging is suppressed. The method continues by determining a volume of the operating noise (21) that is tolerable for the driver (22) and bystanders (23) depending on the noise level and a measured distance of a vehicle key (24) from the vehicle (10). The method proceeds by cooling the high-voltage components (11) of the vehicle (10) that are heated by charging so that the operating noise (21) caused by the cooling is limited to the tolerable volume.

Abstract: A method for arranging a generalized multilevel converter switching topology with switched capacitors for converting DC current into AC current, wherein the arrangement can be configured with regard to predetermined output voltage levels. With the same number of semiconductor switches, a higher number of voltage levels can be achieved in comparison to previous methods. Depending on the given problem, a maximum output voltage of the AC current may vary from significantly lower values than the input voltage of the DC current up to a multiple of these values. The generalized circuit topology may be adapted to a desired number of voltage levels by a repeatable arrangement of voltage level units that can be arranged in a row and to a multiphase load by a corresponding selection of a number of sub-modules. Furthermore, a modular multilevel converter configured with the circuit topology is described.
