Current-Mode Controller for an Electric Vehicle Battery System

This paper presents a battery system with parallel architecture and a current-mode controller. The battery system includes battery modules that transfer power to the load wirelessly. The received wireless power is then summed by DC-DC power converters that are connected in parallel at the load side and controlled by a current mode controller. While the system might have different applications, in this paper the load is a battery pack of the Electric Vehicle (EV). The presented battery system acts as a mobile and swappable charging source for the EV battery pack. Preliminary proof-of-concept experimental prototype results are presented.
