Agnetic Cores News Today

Electric vehicles (EV) are increasingly connected to the power grid using the charging connectors based on the charging connector standards, such as SAE J1772, SAE Combo, or CHAdeMO, which are mainly intended for single directional charging for grid-to-vehicle (G2V) application. However, with the development of a smart grid, EVs should play a role as active distributed resources, that can transfer their energy into the grid and can charge or be charged by another EV. Therefore, the concept of Ve...

High frequency transformer (HFT) is being widely used in several modern applications. Most of the conventional HFT uses ordinary winding topology for which the magnetic core saturates without ensuring possible maximum power transfer. To overcome this technical problem, this paper proposes a new distributed winding topology (DWT) which can significantly increase the power transfer capability with the same magnetic core and turn number. Before applying the proposed DWT, the magnetic core is optimi...
