In numerous battery-powered systems, including mobile devices and automotive fast charging is highly desirable feature.x000D
However, existing fast charging system cause degradation of the battery negatively affecting its lifetime. Also, the modern batteryx000D
charging systems are usually bulky and/or inefficient. As such they are not well suited for integration in space and weightx000D
constrained applications such as mobile and automotive.x000D
In most cases the main contributor to the overly large size of the chargers, which are based on power electronics converters, arex000D
reactive components of the converters (inductors and capacitors), where in mobile and automotive applications the inductors arex000D
often the bulkiest components of the systems.x000D
The goal of this research is to develop a compact power supply that will be able to provide fast charging without negativelyx000D
affecting the battery lifetime and will be able to fit into increasingly stringent volume and weight requirements. The supply will havex000D
a novel architecture. It will be based on hybrid power conversion concept, providing small volume and high power processingx000D
efficiency (providing high power density), and will be implementing a novel charging algorithm that provides fast charging withoutx000D
negatively affecting battery life time, developed by GBattteries.
