Abstract

This paper presents simulation of a fast-charging system for electric motorcycles using a Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge (PSFB) converter with synchronous rectification. The study compares two charging control strategies: the conventional mode-switching method and the proposed cascaded CC-CV control scheme. Simulation results show that while both methods effectively charge the battery, the proposed cascaded CC-CV approach provides smoother phase-shift transitions and reduces switching stress, especially during the constant voltage (CV) phase. Furthermore, the proposed method is able to maintain the stability of the transformer primary voltage, making it more likely to achieve Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), which leads to higher efficiency and improved system reliability. These findings highlight the superiority of the proposed cascaded CC-CV control method in reducing power loss and enhancing converter performance for fast-charging applications for electric motorcycles.
