Patent attributes
High power bidirectional charging systems with a split battery architecture are disclosed. The bidirectional charging systems can include a bidirectional charger and an integrated battery. The bidirectional charger is bidirectional, providing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy transfer capability from an electrical grid to an electric vehicle (EV), as well as electrical energy transfer capability from the integrated battery to the power grid and from EV battery to the electrical grid. The integrated battery is split into two sections. A first battery section is a lower voltage battery, which can feed the output direct current (DC) directly without a converter. A second battery section is a higher voltage battery. The output power provided by the charger can exceed voltage limits of the individual electronic components by adding the output of the first integrated battery section with an output of the second integrated battery section.
