  • Patent number: 10554113
    Abstract: A control system of a low voltage DC-DC converter is provided. The system includes a low voltage DC-DC converter unit that has a power semiconductor element and converts power supplied from a high voltage battery of a vehicle into power of low voltage. A switching frequency change unit changes a switching frequency of the power semiconductor element and a microcomputer generates a final PWM signal based on an input voltage value input from the high voltage battery and an output voltage value of the switching frequency change unit to apply a maximum duty command voltage to a PWM controller. The PWM controller applies PWM voltage to the power semiconductor element to thus operate the power semiconductor element at less than a maximum duty based on the maximum duty command voltage applied from the microcomputer.

  • Publication number: 20190190285
    Abstract: A charging system with a sensor diagnosis function is provided. The system includes an AC input voltage sensor that detects a voltage of an input end with an AC power applied thereto and a resistor that is connected to the input end. A power factor correction circuit unit adjusts and outputs a power factor of AC power applied through the resistor. An output voltage of the power factor correction circuit unit is applied to a capacity of the system. A controller then diagnoses the AC input voltage sensor based on a value of current passing through the resistor, a value of a voltage of the capacitor, and a resistance value of the resistor.

  • Publication number: 20190184838
    Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle during charging is applied to the vehicle that includes a charger converting external alternating current power into direct current power, and a first battery and an electric load connected to a terminal to which the direct current power converted and output by the charger. The method includes calculating a maximum outputtable power capable of being output by the charger when an operation of the charger is initiated; and calculating a maximum allowable load power capable of being applied to drive the electric load on the basis of the maximum outputtable power, a minimum charging power required to charge the first battery, and a minimum load-requesting power required to operate the electric load.

  • Patent number: 10090779
    Abstract: A method of compensating for a current sensor offset of an inverter includes: calculating a current sensor offset based on an output value of a current sensor, which detects an output current of the inverter, after a vehicle has started and before a current control of the inverter is performed; actuating the inverter to perform the current control according to the calculated current sensor offset; determining whether the inverter enters a burst mode while performing the current control; and re-calculating the current sensor offset based on the output value of the current sensor when the inverter is determined to enter the burst mode.
