Abstract:
A method for controlling an electrical converter (12) comprises the steps of: determining an error value (ψ s,err ) based on a difference between an estimated output value (ψ s ) and a reference output value (ψ s *), the estimated output value being based on measurements in the electrical converter (12); comparing the error value (ψ s,err ) with an error band (46a) and in the case of the error value exceeds the error band (46a), controlling the electrical converter by switching to a different control scheme. The converter is controlled with the modified pre-calculated switching by: determining a pre-calculated switching sequence (40) for the converter (12) based on an actual state of the electrical converter (12), the switching sequence comprising a sequence of switching transitions (42) of the converter (12); modifying the pre-calculated switching sequence (40) by modifying transition times of switching transitions (42) of the pre-calculated switching sequence, such that the error value (ψ s,err ) is minimized; and applying at least a part of the modified switching sequence to the electrical converter (12).

A modular converter (12) for a battery charging station (10) comprises at least two charging modules (30a, 30b, 30c) connected in parallel. Each of the charging modules (30a, 30b, 30c) is adapted for generating an output current (I 1, I 2, I 3 ) for charging a battery (20). Each charging module (30a, 30b, 30c) comprises a local controller (32a, 32b, 32c) for controlling the charging module (30a, 30b, 30c). Each local controller (32a, 32b, 32c) of a charging module (30a, 30b, 30c) is adapted for determining a global charging current I and for determining the output current (I 1 , I 2 , I 3 ) of the charging module (30a, 30b, 30c).
