Abstract
A battery system for a vehicle may include: a charging apparatus configured to receive an alternating current power from the outside thereof in a wired/wireless manner; an on-board charger (OBC) configured to convert the alternating current power of the charging apparatus into a direct current power; a micro-control unit (MCU) configured to boost an output voltage of the OBC by use of a boost converter configured by a motor and an inverter; and a battery connected to the MCU and configured to be charged with the boosted output voltage.
Claims13
A battery system for a vehicle, the battery system comprising:
- a charging apparatus configured to receive an alternating current power from the outside thereof wiredly or wirelessly;
- an on-board charger (OBC) configured to convert the alternating current power of the charging apparatus into a direct current power;
- a micro-control unit (MCU) configured to boost an output voltage of the OBC by use of a boost converter configured by a motor and an inverter;
- and
- a battery connected to the MCU and configured to be charged with the boosted output voltage.
A method of operating a battery system for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- charging a battery, in a battery charging mode, by performing a boost converter function by use of a motor and an inverter connected to the motor and the battery in a state in which a relay connected to the motor and a power system is turned on, wherein the battery system includes the battery, the motor, the inverter and the power system;
- and
- operating the motor, in a motor driving mode, by receiving a DC voltage from the battery and outputting a 3-phase AC voltage through the inverter in a state in which the relay is turned off.
