(PDF) Inverter and Battery Drive Cycle Efficiency Comparisons of
Compared to a conventional EV powertrain with a 2-level inverter using IGBTs, CHBs have improved efficiency and easier expandability from 400 to 800 V systems [63,65].
Based on the loss models, the inverter and battery efficiency during different driving cycles are assessed. In comparison to the two-level inverter system, the multilevel inverter drivetrains show an increased drivetrain efficiency, despite increased battery losses. The MMSP topology showed the best result.
Within this investigation, the CHB inverter shows the best drive cycle efficiency, but the battery losses are neglected. A similar drive cycle comparison can be found in, where a battery and inverter loss comparison of a CHB and modular multilevel series parallel (MMSP) converter is carried out.
Depth of Discharge (DoD): Choose batteries with ≥90% DoD for maximum usable capacity - Round-trip Efficiency: Higher efficiency (95%+) means less energy loss during charge/discharge cycles If you plan to add EV charging, expand solar capacity, or increase storage later, choose an inverter that supports modular battery expansion.
