Apparatus for converting power of electric vehicle
First Claim
1. A power converting apparatus of an electric vehicle, comprising:
- a charging unit comprising first switches and first diodes connected in parallel to the first switches, the charging unit being configured to charge a battery from a power source;
an inverting unit comprising second switches and second diodes connected in parallel to the second switches, the inverting unit being configured to supply power to a motor;
a switching unit connected to the motor, the charging unit, and the inverting unit, wherein the switching unit is configured to operate according to a switching control signal; and
a controller configured to provide the switching control signal to the switching unit according to a selected mode, and to repeatedly open and close the second switches to transmit power from the battery to the power source via a transformer, a boost converter, and a three-phase rectifier, in response to the selected mode being a Vehicle to Grid (V2G) mode.
