Traditionally, power converter design for energy storage systems (BESS) normally focuses on conversion efficiency and total harmonic distortion. In these designs, the battery is often modeled as a simple dc voltage source with fixed capacity and resistance. However, when it comes to high-density BESS and electric vehicle architectures, the interaction between the inverter’s switching strategy […]
