Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01480, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Prodic, Aleksandar (University of Toronto), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : In numerous battery-powered systems, including mobile devices and automotive fast charging is highly desirable feature._x000D_
However, existing fast charging system cause degradation of the battery negatively affecting its lifetime. Also, the modern battery_x000D_
charging systems are usually bulky and/or inefficient. As such they are not well suited for integration in space and weight_x000D_
constrained applications such as mobile and automotive._x000D_
In most cases the main contributor to the overly large size of the chargers, which are based on power electronics converters, are_x000D_
reactive components of the converters (inductors and capacitors), where in mobile and automotive applications the inductors are_x000D_
often the bulkiest components of the systems._x000D_
The goal of this research is to develop a compact power supply that will be able to provide fast charging without negatively_x000D_
affecting the battery lifetime and will be able to fit into increasingly stringent volume and weight requirements. The supply will have_x000D_
a novel architecture. It will be based on hybrid power conversion concept, providing small volume and high power processing_x000D_
efficiency (providing high power density), and will be implementing a novel charging algorithm that provides fast charging without_x000D_
