4 FAQs about [Inverter battery ripple]

What is a ripple current in a battery?

Ripple currents are Alternating Current (AC) components, i.e. high frequency oscillations, superimposed on a Direct Current (DC) flow within a battery system. These ripples are typically generated by power electronics, including inverters, DC-DC converters, and rectifiers.

How is the ripple current generated by the main inverter measured?

The ripple current generated by the main inverter is demonstrated with a measurement obtained from an electric vehicle. A simulation model is presented which is based on an artificial reference DC bus, according to ISO 21498-2, and uses driving cycles in order to obtain current profiles relevant for battery cycling.

How does a ripple affect a battery?

This ripple can negatively affect the lifetime of a battery or alter the inner resistance and therefore also the battery's efficiency. The ripple also influences other DC bus components such as a second inverter, an onboard charger, or heating/cooling units.

What factors affect the ripple current overlaid to the DC current?

The ripple current overlaid to the DC current depends on many different parameters: the battery voltage, the torque and speed demand, the switching and fundamental frequency of the inverter, the DC link, and DC bus impedance—to mention the most important ones.
