Switching Characteristics Optimization of Two-Phase Interleaved Bidirectional DC/DC for Electric Vehicles

In electric vehicles (EVs), bidirectional DC/DC(Bi-DC/DC) is installed between the battery pack and the DC bus to step up the voltage. In the process of mode switching under step signal, the Bi-DC/DC will be affected by a large current inrush which threatens the safety of the circuit. In this paper, a Bi-DC/DC mode switching method based on the optimized Bézier curve is proposed. The Boost and Buck modes can be switched based on the proposed method with fast and non-overshoot switching performance. The experimental results show that the mode switching can be finished in 4 ms without overshoot based on the optimal switching curve.
