Near Unity Power Factor Correction Vienna Rectifier for Plug-In Type Three Phase EV Charging Station

With the growing incorporation of Electric Vehicles (EVs) into the transportation sector, there is an increasing need for reliable and efficient EV charging infrastructure. This paper introduces a near unity Power Factor Correction (PFC) Vienna rectifier is designed specifically for plug-in type three phase EV charging stations. The Vienna rectifier is selected for its superior efficiency, lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and capability to handle high power density applications. The proposed rectifier system achieves near-unity power factor that is crucial for reducing reactive power and improving overall power quality. Through the comprehensive simulation studies and validations, the rectifier’s performance is analysed under various operating conditions, demonstrating its effectiveness in providing a stable high-quality DC output. This research highlights the pivotal role of advanced rectifier technology in enhancing the performance and reliability of modern EV charging stations, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient power grid.
