Abstract

Fast charging technology has accelerated the growth of the electric vehicle(EV) market and attracted significant attention from the industry. Two-stage AC/DC converter system is one of the traditional fast-charging architectures consists of the front-end converter and back-end converter. Numerous researches have developed IGBT-based medium-voltage converter or MOSFET-based low-voltage applications. In this work, a two-stage IGBT-based converter system is proposed in consideration of power switch costs and magnetic component loss.
