Outline of Final Research Achievements

The essence of this research can be summarized as follows. (1) A very high efficiency DC-DC chopper (HEECS chopper for abbreviation) was proposed and constructed. Under the 40 % partial voltage compensation, 99.5% efficiency at 5 kw output and 99.0% efficiency at 20 kW were experimentally measured. (2) Applying this HEECS chopper to the new proposed power train of EV (series chopper power train), the efficiency map was experimentally measured in all range of speed and torque domain, and it indicates that efficiency is higher than the conventional power train in this range. (3) Using this data, it is verified that the driving range is extended approximately 8% under the 10-15 mode driving cycle, and approximately 7% under the JC08 driving cycle.
