Simulations and Experimental Investigations of an Impulse System for Battery Charging in Electric Bike

The paper presents simulation results of a push–pull converter allowing energy recovery back to two Sealed Lead-Acid 7 Ah, 12 V serially connected batteries. The converter is powered by three phases of induced voltage from a BLDC motor mounted in the front wheel hub of an electric bike. In a steady state, computed current and voltage waveforms were verified experimentally in the measurement stand on the basis of registered waveforms.
