Modeling and Analysis of a Wide Battery Voltage Range On-Board Electric Vehicle Charger

The very known fact that vehicles with IC engines require fossil fuels as their oxygen and in turn emit hazardous gases back to the atmosphere being a paramount benefactor forces us to learn more about eco-friendly vehicles to counter the effect of conventional IC engines: Clearly the Electric Vehicles. In On board charger (OBC), a two-stage converter connect the input grid supply and the battery, whose output levels vary from the vehicle architecture. OBCs are typically offered in voltage ranges: 48-72, and 96-150 V. This work focuses on the study and propose a revolutionary common battery charger for automotive applications with a voltage range of 50-400 V and presents a control mechanism for achieving the inconsistent DC link in the power factor correction (PFC) stage. A DC-DC converter is implemented with the design consideration and control algorithm. In addition, the study simulates and presents a two-stage common battery charger with a broad output voltage range. A high-efficiency common charger that can handle a large range of battery voltages is ideal for charging a wide variety of automobiles.
