CSIR-Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute [CSIR-CMERI]: This technology introduces a switched reconfigurable multi-converter multi-source energy storage system for electrified vehicles, incorporating multiple DC/DC power converters and energy sources. The system includes a mode selector with controllable switches and a controller that dynamically reconfigures the energy storage system during variable power demands or regenerative events. The technology also features a power flow control scheme that manages the direction of power flow within the system, ensuring efficient operation. Additionally, a fault-tolerant control scheme is included to maintain fail-safe operation during converter faults. This technology is applicable in electrified vehicles, enhancing energy efficiency and reliability.
