Personal mobility device

Abstract

Recently, research on personal mobility devices (PMDs) such as electric motorcycles, electric bikes, electric scooters, and electric wheelchairs has been globally proceeded. However, PMDs have a disadvantage since the required battery voltage is different depending on the type of PMD. Therefore, to charge the battery of a PMD, an individual battery charger should be used depending on type of PMD which reduces industrial usability and availability of PMDs. To solve this problem, a battery charger capable of responding to various battery voltages is required. In this paper, the hardware-simulator development of a battery charger that can respond to the various battery voltages of PMDs is proposed, and it consists of a boost converter, a half-bridge series resonant converter, and a buck converter. Additionally, this paper presents a control strategy for use in the proposed hardware simulator. The effectiveness of the proposed hardware simulator and its control strategy are verified by experimental results.
