12-pulse buck rectifier and partial power processing based converter for ultra-high power EV charging

With the rapid development of electrical vehicles (EV) and the trends in transportation electrification, the demand for fast charging facilities for electric vehicles is rising. <br/> <br/>In this thesis, a two-stage power electronics converter for DC fast battery charging application is designed and studied. A buck type 12-pulse converter with...

12-pulse Rectifier with DC-Side Buck Converter for Electric Vehicle Fast Charging

This paper presents the study of a 100kW electric vehicle (EV) fast charger based on a 12-pulse rectifier cascaded with two buck-type DC-DC converters. The proposed circuit operates with a triangular current shaping method which considerably improves the current harmonics performance of the system. The studied circuit is particularly suited...
