Abstract
This paper proposes a solution to the circuit topology of heavy-duty electric vehicle (HDEV) chargers. In light of the original hybrid rectifier, a new unidirectional Input-Parallel-Output-Series (IPOS) three-phase hybrid rectifier is proposed and analyzed. The IPOS topology is advantageous at ultra-high power rating to interface the next-generation HDEV batteries which require a high and wide output voltage range of 800~1500 V with available 600/1200V commercial semiconductors. Moreover, the proposed topology is efficient, cost-effective, and scalable with the grid input current harmonic components in compliance with the IEEE-519 standard. The benefits of the IPOS topology are supported by circuit derivation, control strategy, analytical modelling, simulation, and experimental verification.
