Abstract

This paper focuses on developing a battery charger for electric car. A novel topology of a battery charger is proposed. Conventional rectifier has drawbacks in term of harmonic currents. This paper describes about a five level single-phase rectifier associated with zero crossings circuit and buck chopper with a control signal which draws a clean sinusoidal line current for the application of low harmonics plug in home charging Electric Vehicle battery charger. The MATLAB/Simulink results reveal the proposed Electric Vehicle battery charger performance compared to the conventional method.
