Battery Charger Based on Interleaved Three-Branch Converter with Model Predictive Control

This paper analyzes interleaved converters in high-power systems, focusing on applications such as battery charging. Model Predictive Control (MPC) was implemented to predict system behavior and optimize control actions. The converter initially operates in constant current control (CCC) before transitioning to constant voltage control (CV C). Throughout the charging process, MPC ensures the stability of current and voltage, adjusting control variables in response to input voltage variations. The study highlights the benefits of interleaved con-verters, including reduced power losses, minimized component stress, and improved overall efficiency, making them ideal for high-demand applications such as electric vehicle charging,
