Charging control method and system for environmentally friendly vehicle
First Claim
1. A charging control method for a vehicle with a built-in on board charger (OBC) including a power factor correction (PFC) converter connected to an AC power source to convert an AC input voltage into a DC voltage and compensate for the power factor of the voltage, and a DC-DC converter for converting the DC voltage output from the PFC converter, the charging control method comprising:
- sensing, by a voltage detector, a battery voltage during charging;
calculating, by a controller, a target value to maintain an output voltage of the PFC converter from the sensed battery voltage and the maximum available duty value of the DC-DC converter;
maintaining, by the controller, the output voltage of the PFC converter, based on the calculated target value; and
maintaining, by the controller, the output voltage of the DC-DC converter as the maximum available duty while the output voltage of the PFC converter is maintained, based on the calculated target value.

Abstract
A charging control method and system for an environmentally friendly vehicle are provided and promote the enhancement of charging efficiency by improving a power control method of a power factor correction (PFC) converter while a battery is being charged through an on board charger (OBC) in vehicle. The method sensing, by a voltage detector, a battery voltage during charging and calculating, by a controller, a target value to maintain an output voltage of the PFC converter. The target value is calculated from the sensed battery voltage and the maximum available duty value of the DC-DC converter. The output voltage of the PFC converter is maintained, based on the calculated target value.
