Depuis ces années, le développement de systèmes de stockage d'énergie pour la mobilité électrique avec davantage d'autonomie de durabilité est au cœur des contraintes de développement des véhicules électriques ou hybrides entraînant une émergence de l'utilisation des systèmes de management ainsi que des circuits d'équilibrage. Les travaux de thèse portent sur la conception et la réalisation d'une nouvelle structure d'équilibrage à base du réseau de micro-convertisseurs (RµC) utilisant les matrices de connections ainsi que les stratégies de commande appropriées. L'objectif principal est de concevoir un équilibreur actif forcé de haute performance, intégrable à base de technologies d'aujourd'hui et avec une stratégie de contrôle simple à mettre en œuvre. Le mémoire de thèse se structure en quatre chapitres : approche du RµC versus l'équilibrage des batteries, conception de la structure et des stratégies d'équilibrage à base du RµC, conception et dimensionnement du système de contrôle intégrée, version intégrée de l'équilibreur-perspectives. Les premiers prototypes de l'équilibreur utilisant des composants discrets ont été mis en place afin de valider notre structure ainsi que les solutions de contrôle proposées. La réalisation des versions intégrées en se basant sur l'utilisation les technologies disponible au sein du laboratoire ouvre un avenir promettant pour les systèmes de management de batterie. / In recent years, the development of energy storage systems for electric mobility with greater autonomy of sustainability is at the heart of development constraints of electric or hybrid vehicles resulting in the emergence of the use of management systems as well as balancing circuits.

One of the requirements for the next generation of power supplies for distributed power systems (DPSs) is to achieve high power density with high efficiency. In the traditional front-end converter based on the two-stage approach for high-power three-phase DPSs, the DC-link voltage coming from the power factor correction (PFC) stage penalizes the second-stage DC/DC converter. This DC/DC converter not only has to meet the characteristics demanded by the load, but also must process energy with high efficiency, high reliability, high power density and low cost. To meet these requirements, approaches such as the series connection of converters and converters that reduce the voltage stress across the main devices have been proposed. In order to improve the characteristics of these solutions, this dissertation proposes high-efficiency, high-density DC/DC converters for high-power high-voltage applications. In the first part of the dissertation, a DC/DC converter based on a three-level structure and operated with pulse width modulation (PWM) phase-shift control is proposed. This new way to operate the three-level DC/DC converter allows soft-switching operation for the main devices. Zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-voltage and zero-current switching (ZVZCS) soft-switching techniques are studied, analyzed and compared in order to improve the characteristics of the proposed converter. This results in a series of ZVS and ZVZCS three-level DC/DC converters for high-power high-voltage applications. In all cases, results from 6kW prototypes operating at 100 kHz are presented. In addition, with the ultimate goal of improving the power density of the DC/DC converter, a study of several resonant DC/DC converters that can operate at higher switching frequencies is presented. From this study, a three-element ZVS three-level resonant converter for applications with wide input voltage and load variations is proposed. Experimental results at 745 kHz obtained without penalizing the efficiency of the PWM approaches are presented. The second part of the dissertation proposes a quasi-integrated AC/DC three-phase converter that aims to reduce the complexity and cost of the traditional two-stage front-end converter. This converter improves the complexity/low-efficiency tradeoff characteristics evident in the two-stage approach and previous integrated converters. The principle of operation for the converter is analyzed and verified on a 3kW experimental prototype. / Ph. D.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This work presents a design methodology and analysis of electronic circuits applied to outdoor lighting systems using light emitting diodes (LEDs). The goal of topologies developed here is to supply the LEDs from the mains, with high power factor, and from batteries when it is needed. Thus, some topologies employing integrated DC-DC converters and single stage converters are proposed and analyzed. The main application of these topologies is street lighting systems without energy consumption from the mains during the Peak Load Time, feeding the circuit by batteries. Moreover, the batteries can keep the system working during a possible fault in the main power supply, operating as an emergency lighting system. These applications are justified by the reduction in energy demand from the electric power system and by the increase in the lighting system reliability. Throughout the work, the main characteristics of the LED and batteries applied in lighting systems are presented, as well as the specification of the luminaire and the battery bank employed. The design methodology proposed for each topology aims to help the converter design intended for better utilization of semiconductors and reduce the value of the bus capacitor. A critical analysis of the converters is performed in order to evaluate the efficiency of the circuits, the power factor, the voltage and current characteristics of the main devices, and compliance with the IEC 61000-3-2 Class C standard that limits the harmonic content of the input current. Finally, electronic circuits are proposed for the management and control of the lighting system. / Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia de projeto e análise de circuitos eletrônicos aplicados à iluminação de exteriores empregando diodos emissores de luz (LEDs). O objetivo das topologias desenvolvidas neste trabalho é proporcionar aos LEDs uma alimentação adequada através da rede elétrica, com alto fator de potência, e através de baterias quando necessário.
