A 300-kHz 6.6-kW SiC Bidirectional LLC Onboard Charger
Abstract
The reverse LLC voltage gain is lower than unity. The dc-link voltage is then lower than the peak grid voltage so that the buck type dc-ac converters cannot be grid-tied directly, which causes the LLC reverse operation difficult in bidirectional application. This paper proposes a silicon carbide (SiC) bidirectional LLC charger architecture to achieve high efficiency and high power density. The first stage is an interleaved bridgeless totem pole power factor correction (PFC) to achieve unity power factor. The second stage is a 300-kHz LLC taking advantage of wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) range and magnetic integration. Thanks to extra control freedom of high dc-link voltage, the dc-dc voltage gain regulation is shared by the dc-ac stage taking advantage of high voltage SiC MOSFETs. A reverse LLC voltage gain compensation control by regulating dc-link voltage is proposed to enable the LLC bidirectional operation. A digital adaptive synchronous rectification driving scheme is proposed based on the LLC primary driver signals, which immunes to the circuit oscillation caused by high dv/dt and parasitic elements. A 6.6 kW SiC bidirectional LLC charger is build. The power density is 3.42 kW/L with 3 kW/kg and increases 55.6% over the reference design. The charging efficiency is above 96% through the battery voltage from 240 to 420 V, and 2% higher than the state-of-the-art products. The peak discharging efficiency under 6.6 kW is 96%, and 1% higher than the state-of-the-art efficiency.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
