Abstract

One of the significant elements of the implementation and utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) is the establishment of charging stations. In this research, the researchers present an advanced power converter meant for on board EV battery chargers that is capable of taking a universal. The proposed converter is to be implemented to reduce the total harmonic distortion of the supplied current, correct the power factor, and maintain accurate regulation of the output voltage. This study is to suggest and construct a converter for power that will effectively minimize the THD in the supply current since power quality is a critical component in the effectiveness of on-board EV battery chargers. The aim of this work is to improve power quality by eliminating the three-level Direct current (DC)-DC single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) converter in the EV chargers and replacing with the Power Charge Pro converter. First, the charger model for the Two-Wheeler EV Simulink was created to begin with and it is incorporated on-board. Next, it should involve creating a prototype of the "Power Charge Pro converter" based on the simulated design. Subsequently, an assessment of power quality factors comprising total harmonic distortion and power factor is performed. Subsequently, tuning the control converter and its parameters continues in an attempt to enhance the efficiency of the entire converter. Here, we employ MATLAB/Simulink simulation models to develop models for the proposed converter design and its simulation. The performance should therefore be measured using parameters like; Total Harmonic Distortion Percentage (THD) (2.78 %), efficiency (97.75 %), Switching Losses (1.32 W), and Voltage Stress (225 volts). The conceived power converter seems to provide a solution superior to those currently employed in electric vehicle on board battery chargers because it boasts of having solutions for some main issues affecting the systems, hence creating a platform for higher efficiency in on board chargers and other improvements in EV charging stations.
