Estudio de topologías y tecnología de corriente continua aplicable a sistemas de carga de alto voltaje

Resum

This article describes the actual state of art of the current battery charging systems, with a special focused on its technical, technological features and its operation modes. The most important factors considered for this functional and theoretical study are from the following points of view: State of the art: This article reviews the technological division between lithium batteries and the most suitable power topology for each one. Technological factor: The article reviews the technological state from the point of view of the power components as: MOSFET transistors, diodes, with special focused in the power ranges, technological limits and costs. Theoretical factor: This factor is focused in the description of the power topologies and its preferred selection depending on the voltage and the current range of its potential application. This chapter also shows the basic theoretical approach and the key differences between uni-directional and bi-directional power architectures. Control Theory: The current control systems have a lot of similarities between each other, either in alternating current or direct current. However The operation of battery charging systems has common and functional drifts in its behaviours with standard direct current converters. This article describes and analyses their similarities and their differences.
