Abstract

The present application solves the problem of limiting the input power of a fast charging system for electric vehicles to a value that is lower than the output power during the fast charging of electric vehicles. A fast charging system for electric vehicles (100) is disclosed, which comprises a battery (103), a stage of input power electronics (101), and a stage of output power electronics (102). The system supplies power to the charging circuit (111), this power being higher than the input power obtained from the public low-voltage power supply network (110). This solution is used for charging electric vehicles such as cars, buses or any other vehicle equipped with an electric energy storage system rechargeable by means of an external connection.

Claims

1. A fast charging system for electric vehicles, comprising:

a stage of input power electronics;

a stage of output power electronics;

a battery,

wherein the stage of input power electronics is powered by a low-voltage network, and the battery is interposed, specifically, between the stage of input power electronics and the stage of output power electronics.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the stage of input power electronics is configured to receive 20 kW, and the stage of output power electronics is configured to supply an output power of 50 kW to the battery with a nominal voltage between 200 V and 400 V.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the stage of input power electronics is unidirectional, in the direction of the charge.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the stage of input power electronics is bidirectional.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the stage of output power electronics is unidirectional, in the direction of the charge.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the battery is a lithium-ion battery.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the battery is a lead-acid battery.
