I. INTRODUCTION

In vehicle-to-grid (V2G) enabled plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), a bidirectional dc/dc converter is required to achieve the bidirectional power flow between the dc link and the high voltage battery pack (250V-420V) [1], [2]. CLLC resonant topology is the combination of dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter and LLC resonant converter and inherits the merits of both topologies. It is featured with soft-switching, high power density and controlled bidirectional energy flow [3], [4]. Therefore, it is considered an attractive candidate in V2G applications, and has attracted wide research attention in academia. However, for deeply depleted scenarios, the battery pack voltage might go down to 100V [5], [6]. This requires an ultra-wide voltage range of the CLLC converter (100V-420V). Hence, significant challenges are brought to the optimal design of the bidirectional CLLC converter.

Reference [2] proposes a design methodology for CLLC bidirectional converter. A 3.5 kW prototype is designed with 250V-450 V output range. In [4], a bidirectional CLLC converter with synchronous rectification is proposed for PEV charging applications. A 3.3 kW prototype is designed with 250-420 V output range. Reference [7] conducts a comprehensive analysis of the CLLC bidirectional converters. It proposes an optimal design for 1 kW prototype that meets the voltage range of 200V-420 V for charging mode, and input range of 350V-420 V in discharging mode. In [8], a three-port bidirectional CLLC

resonant converter for PEV hybrid energy management system is proposed. The target application is PEV battery charging with 250V-420V voltage range. In [9], a bidirectional on-board charger architecture is proposed, and a 6.6 kW prototype is constructed to meet the voltage range of 250V-450 V. A 5 kW bidirectional converter prototyped in [10] exhibits 97.1 % peak efficiency with limited voltage range.

Although research has been done on topologies, design methodologies, control strategies, most of the state-of-the-art are focusing on the charging/discharging of 200-420V onboard battery pack. In [11]–[14], the proposed LLC converters suffer from limited output voltage range. The techniques proposed in [6], [15], [16] demonstrate ultra wide voltage range, and are adaptive to depleted battery scenarios. However, they are unsuitable for bidirectional applications. Moreover, the addition of extra components increases the system size and hardware cost.

In this paper, a reconfigurable CLLC topology is proposed. PWM is introduced to the secondary side auxiliary MOSFET, which makes the voltage regulation weakly dependent on the load. The main CLLC topology is designed to work at its resonant frequency under most of the load conditions. The ZVS range is effectively extended. Furthermore, by making the auxiliary MOSFET constantly on/off, both the primary and secondary sides switch networks can reconfigure between half and full bridges structures. This helps to further extend the voltage gain range. Last but not least, in extreme voltage scenarios, PFM can be activated to further extend the voltage gain range. To summarize, the benefits of the proposed topology include 1) ultra-wide voltage gain range, 2) extended zero voltage switching range, 3) symmetric structure and power flow regulation, and 4) PWM weakly dependent on load.

are modulated under PFM and PWM. The extra wide voltage range applications is ensured with dc link constant voltage of 400V and 100V-440V at the output. The control strategies for the grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and V2G modes are demonstrated in Tables I and II respectively. In G2V mode, the output voltage range of 100V-440Vdc has been met with a constant input voltage of 400V with a 2:1 turns ratio transformer. The control characteristics described above has been further explained in Figs. 1 and 2.

The operational principle of the V2G mode is similar to G2V mode. Thus, only G2V mode is discussed in this paper. PWM modes can be further divided into PWM mode 1 and PWM mode 2 and their steady state waveforms are plotted in Figs. 4 and 5 respectively. The corresponding equivalent circuits are shown in Fig. 6 for PWM mode 2. The switching frequency of S11 is also equal to fr. On the secondary side, a minor phase shift

(tdelay) is introduced between the turning on of S11 and tdead, S12 is set to be in a normally open or normally closed state. This makes sure that the body diode of S11 conducts earlier in case of G2V mode than the turn-on of the S11. Generally, the duty cycle of vgs11 (D) should be controlled within the range of (0.5 , 1].

Detailed operational stages in PWM mode 2 has been briefed here. In Fig. 5 for PWM mode 2, S12 is set to be in a normally open state. Stage I starts at t0 when S1,4 are turned-off. Stage I is within the tdead of S1-4. The voltage vab decreases from VDC. ip charges the output capacitors (Coss) of S2,3 and discharges Coss of S1,4. Since Coss is comparatively smaller, ip can be realized as a constant, and vab decrease linearly as shown in Fig. 6. (a). In the stage II, S1,4 are turned on with ZVS, The secondary side will operate in half bridge. The voltage vab decreases to -VDC, and the voltage vcd decreases at the same time. The equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 6. (b).

In the stage III, S11 are turned off, the secondary side will operate in the full bridge mode. the voltage vcd decreases to -Vo as shown in Fig. 6.(c). The current of the secondary side is decrease. When the current is decrease to zero, the stage IV begins. In this stage, the current of the magnetic inductance im increase with the positive voltage. In the secondary side, the output capacitors (Coss) of S5,8 are charged, and Coss of S11 are discharged. Since S1,4 are still on, is remains zero. Therefore, the power devices on the secondary side are not ON. The leakage inductance Ls resonant with the output capacitors (Coss) of the switches as shown in Fig. 6 (d). Stage IV ends when S1,4 are turned off.

Since the positive current of the magnetic inductance can discharge the output capacitors of the S2,3 in stage V as shown in Fig. 6 (e). The current of the magnetic inductance Lm decrease because of the negative voltage. In the stage VI. D6 and S12 both conduct. The output capacitor of S11 is discharged. S2,3 are turned on with ZVS, the output capacitor of S11 is discharged with the negative current of the secondary side as shown in Fig. 6 (f). In stage VII, S11 is turned on. It is obvious that the conduction of S11’s body diode in the former stage forms the ZVS state for the turning-on of S11 as shown in Fig. 6 (g). In stage VIII, the current of the secondary side decrease to zero, the output capacitor of S6 is charged. Stage VIII ends when S2,3 are turned off as shown in Fig. 6 (h).

During PFM in G2V mode, the converter operates at a frequency lower than its designed resonant frequency (fr). For

the V2G mode, the converter operates under PFM mode for certain load conditions, where operating frequency is higher than the resonant frequency.

III. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

A. Gain Analysis

In PWM mode, the voltage at the output of the rectifying stage is a loose function of the load. Only stages II, III, VII are used to deliver the power. Fig. 7 shows the change in the output voltage in the G2V mode with respect to the duty cycle of Vgs11. It is worth mentioning that capacitor voltage (VC4) is not strongly dependent on the effective load resistance of the rectifier. Also, the duty cycle of the auxiliary switch at the secondary side has no effect on VC4.

To calculate the gain in PFM mode for G2V and V2G modes, equivalent circuits are shown in Fig. 8. Gain expressions expressed here are based on analysis done in [9].

In the PFM mode for G2V mode, primary side acts as a full bridge inverter while secondary side acts as a voltage doubler rectifier. G2V mode gain (GG2V) can be expressed as,

B. Soft Switching Performance

To ensure the primary switches turn ON with ZVS, the magnetizing inductor current should be large enough to fully charge/discharge the output capacitors of the MOSFETs during the deadband. The maximum value of Lm as explained in [8], is given as,

deadm

oss

TtL

C≤ (13)

Smaller magnetizing inductance may ensure primary side MOSFET ZVS condition, but it may create a high magnetizing current that leads to an increased conduction loss, increased peak voltage requirement for the primary-side capacitor, and increased apparent power requirements for MOSFETs. If the magnetizing inductance is designed to be larger, it limits the value of the magnetizing current. However, it can also affect the voltage gain of the converter and put a constraint on it. Therefore, Lm should be designed with an appropriate range, as it cannot be designed to be too large to limit the voltage gain requirements of the converter.

C. Design Methodology

After defining tdead, and calculating Lm range, the next step is to design the resonant tank parameters. Typically, the efficiency of the bidirectional resonant converter is maximum at fr. Converter is designed to operate at fr under nominal working settings.

In PFM mode, the operational switching frequency range and the voltage gain requirements of the proposed converter is dependent on the inductance ratio h and h’ for G2V and V2G modes respectively given by (4) and (10). To narrow down the fs range of the proposed bidirectional converter, h needs to be minimized. Though, small h leads to large leakage inductance which might incur an increased magnetic components size.

Consider a design example that is used to construct the simulation model, a 1 kW simulation model is considered with an input voltage of 400Vdc and an output voltage of 100∼450Vdc for the battery. The nominal battery voltage is 400Vdc, while the resonant frequency is chosen to be 100 kHz.

As the nominal battery voltage is 400 V, the transformer turns ratio is calculated to be 2 as the secondary side can act as the voltage doubler rectifier. For a resonant frequency of 100 kHz, a switch output capacitance of 250 pF, and a dead-time of 200ns, the converters’ magnetizing inductance is calculated as Lm ≤ = 500 µH from (13). This indicates that the magnetizing inductance of 500 µH or less ensures the ZVS on the primary-side MOSFETs. Based on Figs. 9-11, Lm is selected to be 200 µH, and h is designed to be 10 to meet the required PFM gain of

1.10 in the G2V mode. Thus, Lp is 20 µH. Cp can be calculated from the operating resonant frequency and the resonant inductance. Thus, CP ≈ 125 nF.

In order to make the gain curves monotonically decrease and also to fulfill the voltage gain requirements in both modes, g has been selected to be unity in (3). Therefore, C’s = Cp = 125nF and Cs= 500nF. Thus, Ls = 5 µH.

Hence, PFM gain curves for the proposed converter in G2V and V2G modes based on (1) and (7) respectively are shown in Figs. 12. and 13 with the circuit parameters calculated.

IV. RESULTS

To verify the concept, a 1 kW rated converter of is designed and simulated. The projected output voltage range is 100V-440V. The resonant frequency is designed to be 100 kHz. The converter has been designed for the constant input voltage of 400 V in G2V mode and constant output voltage of 400 V in V2G mode. Resistor load is used to emulate the electric profiles of the battery pack during charging and discharging.

The measured dynamic voltage overshoot is 30V. The simulation results agree well with the theoretical predictions.

noted that the auxiliary MOSFETs S10, S12 is set to be in a normally OFF or normally ON state. Therefore, no extra switching losses are introduced.

V. CONCLUSION

In this paper, a reconfigurable bidirectional CLLC topology is proposed for V2G enabled PEV charging applications. Pulse width and frequency hybrid modulation is utilized. PWM is used for one of the auxiliary switchs on the rectifier side that is used to regulate the output voltage. Another auxiliary switch is set to be in a normally open or normally closed state which makes the control more simplier. In the PWM mode, the output voltage control the pulse width of the auxiliary switch. So, only one variable should be considered in this mode. When the converter is operated in the PFM mode, the primary side is in full bridge mode, and the rectifier side is in half bridge which help narrow down the fs range. A simulation model is designed to validate the concept. The output voltage of 100-440V has been achieved with the input voltage of 400V in the G2V mode. Zero voltage switching is realized among all active MOSFETs S1-9 and S11. S10 and S12 are operated in a normally open or normally closed state. So they won’t introduce extra switching loss and control difficulty. Circuit modeling and design considerations are addressed in detail. The proposed concept can also be extended to applications where a wide voltage gain range is required.
