Abstract

Conventional on-board chargers (OBC) are mostly composed of two stages: a front-end power factor correction (PFC) circuit followed by a DC-DC converter stage. This configuration results in complex circuitry and excessive switching components. To address these issues, single-stage converters have been proposed. Current research on single-stage systems mainly centers on bidirectional power transfer and miniaturization. This paper presents a novel low-voltage DC converter (LDC) circuit. By integrating a single-stage OBC with a LDC circuit via a triple-active-bridge (TAB), an onboard three-port converter (OTPC) is developed. A coordinated three-port control strategy is proposed to achieve PFC and bidirectional power flow, while implementing synchronous rectification on the low-voltage side to ensure stable output voltage and continuous current. The proposed system aims to optimize OBCs through volume reduction, increased power density, and cost minimization.
