  • Patent number: 11876368
    Abstract: A converter system for transferring power, a vehicle including such a converter system and a method for transferring power in such a converter system. The converter system includes a first DC-DC module, a second DC-DC module and a first control unit. The first DC-DC module is connected to a first high voltage interface of a high voltage system and to a first low voltage interface of a low voltage system. The second DC-DC module is connected to a second high voltage interface of the high voltage system and to a second low voltage interface of the low voltage system. The first high voltage interface and the second interface are independent of each other. The first control unit is connected to the first DC-DC module and configured to supply power via the second DC-DC module in case of a failure in the first DC-DC module.

  • Publication number: 20230234473
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a converter system for transferring electric power, a vehicle comprising such a converter system and a method for transferring electric power. The converter system comprises a first DC/DC converter module, a second DC/DC converter module and a control unit. The first DC/DC converter module is connectable to a first high voltage system and at least to a first low voltage system. The second DC/DC converter module is connectable to a second high voltage system and at least to the first low voltage system. The first DC/DC converter module comprises at least a first main DC/DC converter unit and a first micro DC/DC converter unit. The second DC/DC converter module comprises at least a second micro DC/DC converter unit. The first micro DC/DC converter unit and the second micro DC/DC converter unit are connectable via a first bidirectional switch unit.

  • Publication number: 20230121220
    Abstract: A converter system for transferring power, including a first high voltage DC-DC module, a second high voltage DC-DC module, and a controller. The high voltage DC-DC modules are electrically separated, the first high voltage DC-DC module is connected to a first high voltage interface of a high voltage system and to a first low voltage interface of a low voltage system, and being of a first DC-DC module type, and the second high voltage DC-DC module is connected to a second high voltage interface of the high voltage system and to a second low voltage interface of the low voltage system, and being of a second different DC-DC module type. The controller is configured to control power supply via one of the high voltage DC-DC modules to the low voltage system in case of failure affecting the other one of the high voltage DC-DC modules.

  • Publication number: 20220278529
    Abstract: An electric vehicle battery system is provided. In some embodiments, the electric vehicle battery system can comprise a battery pack comprising a first battery and a second battery. In various embodiments, a first bidirectional direct current to alternating current (DC-AC) converter can be electrically coupled to the first battery and to a first bidirectional high-voltage (HV) alternating current to direct current (AC-DC) converter. In various implementations, a second bidirectional DC-AC converter can be coupled to the second battery and to a second bidirectional HV AC-DC converter. In further embodiments, and a power factor correction AC-DC module can be electrically coupled to the first bidirectional HV AC-DC converter via a first switch and the second bidirectional HV AC-DC converter via a second switch.

  • Publication number: 20220200464
    Abstract: A converter system for transferring power including a first converter unit, a second converter unit and a control unit. The first converter unit and the second converter unit are connected in parallel. The first converter unit is connected to a high voltage system via a first series switch unit and the second converter unit is connected to the high voltage system via a second series switch unit. The first converter unit is connected to a low voltage system via a third series switch unit and the second converter unit is connected to the low voltage system via a fourth series switch unit. The control unit is configured to disconnect the first series switch unit and high voltage system in case of a failure in the first converter unit or to disconnect the second series switch unit and high voltage system in case of a failure in the second converter unit.
