Abstract: An electric power supply system includes an electric power storage device, a first relay provided between a first electric power line pair connected to the electric power storage device and a second electric power line pair connected to electrical equipment, a bidirectional electric power conversion device that is configured to be able to bidirectionally convert electric power between the second electric power line pair and an electric power facility outside of a vehicle, a first capacitor provided between the second electric power line pair, and a control device configured to execute first precharge processing of charging the first capacitor prior to turning on the first relay. The bidirectional electric power conversion device includes a switching device. The control device starts the first precharge processing when the bidirectional electric power conversion device is activated.

Abstract: A control method includes determining an error value of a reverse input current of a phase-shifted full-bridge circuit based on sampling and reference values of the reverse input current, determining a compensation control quantity of a switch drive signal of the phase-shifted full-bridge circuit based on the error value. The compensation control quantity corresponds to a period or a duty cycle of the switch drive signal. The method further includes determining period and duty cycle control quantities of the switch drive signal based on the compensation control quantity. The period control quantity is within a value range of the period of the switch drive signal, and the duty cycle control quantity is within a value range of the duty cycle of the switch drive signal. The method also includes controlling the switch drive signal based on the period control quantity and the duty cycle control quantity.
