Abstract |
This paper presents the design procedure of a single phase 2.0kW on – board charger for electric
vehicles (EVs). The design strategy that will be followed manages to combine the appropriate
regulation of the mains current, as well as the charging current, among with a simplified P.F.C. control
loop that does not include an input current sensing stage. Moreover, the power stage is simplified too,
as it is consisted of a single converter only and thus producing high power density. The whole design
procedure, as well as simulation and experimental results for this charger and comparison with an
additional thyristorised one, will be presented. |
