Abstract
Drastic demand for the development of low cost and reliable battery chargers plays a key role for the zero emission vehicles due to increasing scarcity in fossil fuels. This work covers the evolution of single stage modified interleaved Cuk converter (MILCC) based EV charger incorporating fewer number of components. The presented configuration is composed of two parallel cells of Cuk converter with positive output polarity to charge the light electric vehicles (LEVs) at optimum power level. By interleaving the cells, the efficient and reliable charging of the battery is nurtured with reduced current stress and minimal input-output ripples improving the power quality (PQ) of the line current. This topology is devised to function as an intrinsic power factor corrector (PFC) by implementing the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) of operation. The operative principle, modelling and control strategy of the proposed LEV charger is analyzed and harmonic spectrum of the line current is found to be as low as 2.7% that satisfies the recommended limits. The simulation and experimental findings were conducted during both steady state and transient conditions followed by the theoretical analysis.
期刊介绍:
The impact of computers has nowhere been more revolutionary than in electrical engineering. The design, analysis, and operation of electrical and electronic systems are now dominated by computers, a transformation that has been motivated by the natural ease of interface between computers and electrical systems, and the promise of spectacular improvements in speed and efficiency.
Published since 1973, Computers & Electrical Engineering provides rapid publication of topical research into the integration of computer technology and computational techniques with electrical and electronic systems. The journal publishes papers featuring novel implementations of computers and computational techniques in areas like signal and image processing, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and communications. Special attention will be paid to papers describing innovative architectures, algorithms, and software tools.
