1 Introduction

Though, transportation systems are essential in todays human life,the concern is about intrinsic worth of mode of transport. It meansthat using of internal combustion engine (ICE) based vehicle hasmajor effects on global warming as it emits greenhouse gases, mak-ing air pollution and depletion of the earths petroleum resources.To overcome this, electric vehicle (EV) has emerged. Electrifyingthe vehicle is the most challenging and competitive solution. Thesurvey clears that for the same amount of energy, the range of EVis three times greater than gasoline powered vehicle and also it hasnumerous advantages like no gas requirement, zero emission, lowmaintenance, reduced noise pollution and cost effective. The useof renewable energy resources such as solar, wind etc for electricitygeneration made the electric vehicle easily accessible. It is safe todrive an EV car as in case of an accident, one can open up the airbag and cut the electricity supply from battery so that everyonecan be prevented from serious injuries. The Indian government hasannounced that by 2030 all the IC vehicles will be replaced by EVs[1] and India stands top ten positions in automotive market in theworld. For electric vehicle, battery charger plays a major role as itrequires frequent charging [2 &3] and it is essential to ensure thelife cycle of the battery and state of charge (SOC). On-board bat-tery charger is required to perform EV battery charging from gridwhich converts ac voltage into dc voltage and controls the chargingprocess [4].

The charging of battery is classified into three types : Level-1,Level-2 and Level- 3 chargers. Level -1 charger uses 120V whichis readily available in household outlets and transfer electricitythrough normal power cord and uses the basic equipment that themost EV’s come with. Level -2 charger uses 240V for enabling fastcharging of EV battery system but it requires an additional elec-tric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) and proper electric wiringcapable of handling high voltage. Level-3 provides DC fact charg-ing which chargers the battery in 20-30 minutes. Level-1 and Level

-2 provides AC electricity to battery through on- board chargerbut Level-3 charger bypass the on-board charger and provides theDC electricity directly to the battery via special charging port.The most commonly used charging ports are SAE and CHAdeMOchargers [5]. Though the Level-2 and Level-3 are fast charging,Level -1 is preferable because of• Low cost installation• Less expensive compared with other two chargers• No need of EVSE equipment• Less impact on electric utility peak demand chargesFor EV battery charging, converters are essential for charging andcontrolling process, converters of two types ac-dc converter anddc-dc converter [6]. With dc-dc converter, rectifier is required toconverter ac to dc which is uncontrolled output. And then dc-dcconverter converts and provides controlled output. As input currentshould be nearly sinusoidal, a small filter is required but to get dcoutput with low ripple, then large capacitor is placed which makesthe use of additional control scheme to get high frequency choppedsinusoidal shape of input current because it reflects as pulsed accurrent as input side [7]. This makes it as a tedious process. So,ac-dc converter bridgeless topology is preferable for battery charg-ing application [8]. Further, it is classified as unidirectional andbidirectional ac-dc converters. Unidirectional ac-dc converter al-lows power flow in one direction whereas bidirectional ac-dc con-verter allows power flow in two direction i.e., source to load andvice-versa. For the specification of level-1 charging, unidirectionalac-dc converter is chosen because it is less expensive and requiresless components compared to bidirectional ac-dc converter.[9-12].

Ac- dc converter suffers from power quality issues like injectionof current harmonics, flow of reactive power, losses in transmissionand distribution line [13 -15]. So, to improve the power quality,passive and active filters are used but it has the drawbacks of largesize, expensive and complex control makes the system too bulky.Thus the new type of converter called improved power quality uni-directional converters has been introduced to address the powerquality issues efficiently [16 - 17]. The converter design makes useof MOSFET as active switch since diode and thyristor has the de-merits of• Poor power quality

• Poor power factor• Voltage distortion• Rippled dc outputThis paper deals with the some of the six converter topologies.They are:A. Single Phase Unidirectional Buck ConverterB. Single Phase Unidirectional Converter with High Power FactorC. SEPIC ConverterD. Unidirectional Boost-Buck Converter for EV Battery ChargerE. Unidirectional Ac-Dc Converter with Coupled InductorF. Zero Voltage Source Hybrid Resonant PWM

VERTER

A. Single Phase Unidirectional Buck Converter

The first topology deals with single- phase unidirectional buckconverter for power quality improvement. The control of buck con-verter is done in two ways: (i) Constant frequency control or pulsewidth modulation (ii) Variable frequency control or frequency mod-ulation control The operation is based on constant frequency inwhich the output is regulated through duty cycle, keeping frequencyas constant. Constant frequency operation is preferable instead ofvariable frequency because it reduces the filter size and controlsthe ripple content in dc output. The frequency is kept constantand the value of frequency is chosen in the range of few kHz tofew hundred kHz. Maximum power factor and maximum outputpower will be available and current is in phase with the voltage [18].The proposed circuit requires one active switch, five diode and oneinductor. The schematic circuit diagram of proposed single- phaseunidirectional buck converter is shown in Fig.1.

Fig.1. Single-phase unidirectional buck converter

Though it requires one active switch, the switching loss across theswitch is high which does not allow soft switching [19]. This topol-ogy fails to achieve the standard required for battery charging.Moreover, the buck converter is not suitable for charging appli-cation as it has low voltage gain and conversion ratio.

In Fig.2, the input voltage and output voltage of single phase uni-directional buck converter is depicted. The input voltage of 230Vis stepped down to 220V.B. Single Phase Unidirectional Converter With High PowerFactorIn unidirectional buck converter, passive filter is employed to getsinusoidal input current waveform, but it makes the circuit bulky,and with diode bridge rectifier, the power factor will be low andharmonic current will be injected to the source which makes thesystem unhealthy. So, current wave shaping technique is proposedin this topology to achieve unity power factor, controlled dc volt-age and fast dynamic response. The other topologies like neutralpoint clamped, flying capacitor and series connection of H-bridgerequires eight switches, four clamping diode and two flying capac-itor to meet the standard but PWM operation of proposed single-

phase unidirectional converter with high power factor requires onlyfour switches, two diodes and two capacitors. No clamping diodeand flying capacitor are required [20 & 21]. The schematic diagramof single- phase unidirectional converter with high power factor isshown in Fig.3.

Fig.3. Single phase unidirectional converter with high power factor

Based on the polarity of the input current, the switches will beturned on and turned off which leads to six operating states. Toanalyze the operating states, following assumptions are made:• the power switches are ideal• supply voltage is constant• dc capacitor voltages are equalThe principle of operation shows that high carrier frequency withthree-level voltage will be generated on rectifier leg a and with linefrequency two level voltage will be obtained on rectifier leg b. Thus,the output side of the ac source, five level voltage will be generated.During positive half cycle, diode D2 is turned on and the voltagelevel Vdc, Vdc/2 and 0 are generated. During negative half cycle,diode D1 is turned off and the voltage level 0, -Vdc, and -Vdc/2 aregenerated. The drawback of the topology is it requires four activeswitches and the switching loss across the single switch is about0.714W which makes the system unhealthy for charging application.The ripple content is high, the voltage gain and conversion ratio ishigh.

Fig.4 Input and output voltage of Single phase unidirectionalconverter with high power factor

In Fig.4, the input voltage and output voltage of single phase uni-directional converter with high power factor is depicted. The inputvoltage of 230V is boosted to 400V.C.SEPIC ConverterSingle ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) has the followingfeatures (i) use of unidirectional switch with anti-parallel diode and(ii) input current switchingthe latter one ensures the high frequency switching with the use ofsmall size filter in order to get sinusoidal current shape and inputcurrent in phase with the input voltage without the need of anyadditional control scheme but there is little dependence on the in-put voltage and output load. With nearly sinusoidal input currentshape, the power factor will be good which does not have any im-pact on input voltage, output filter and load changing. Thus thedistortion level will be low and high efficiency and high power factorcan be obtained [22]. The schematic diagram of SEPIC converteris shown in Fig.5.

The proposed circuit comprises of four inductors, five diodes andfour capacitors. The input ac supply conversion is done with thehelp of power switch and proper positioning of diodes. The inductorL1 n provides a current path during negative half cycle of the sup-ply voltage. A high frequency ac input current provides a switchedinput current and it requires a small filter to obtain a sinusoidalinput current and it is in phase with the input voltage. This leadsto low input current THD and improved power factor. This can beachieved with the help of high frequency conversion of both positiveand negative cycles of the input signal [23].• Merits of SEPIC converter• Output is non-inverted• Less EMI problem• Inherent inrush current limitationDemerits of SEPIC converter• High switching losses• Number of inductors required is large• System is bulky• Conduction loss is high

In Fig.6, the input voltage and output voltage of SEPIC converteris depicted. The input voltage of 230V is boosted to 420V.D. Unidirectional Boost-Buck Converter For EV BatteryChargerIt has front end bridgeless boost type converter and back end in-terleaved buck converter. Front end converter act as an interfacebetween grid and dc link which is split into two (voltage doublercircuit) and back end converter act as an interface between dc linkand battery. Because of voltage doubler circuit, the dc link volt-age is double the time of maximum instantaneous value of gridvoltage and has a feature of high power factor. Due to interleav-ing operation, the ripple content in battery is half of the ripplecontent present in inductor and frequency is double the time ofswitching frequency since the inductors connected to the batterythrough same point [24]. The schematic diagram of unidirectionalboost-buck converter for EV battery charger is shown in Fig.7.

The front-end boost converter transfers energy from the power gridto the dc-link. As shown in Fig. 7, the front end converter consistsof two MOSFETs (S1 and S2), two inductive filters (L1 and L2),two diodes (D1 and D4) and split dc-link. The inductor L1 isconnected to positive of AC supply and inductor L2 is connected tothe negative of power supply and the middle point of input diodeand dc link is connected. During positive half cycle, MOSFET S1and diode D3 and D4 is used. During negative half cycle, MOSFETS2 and diode D4 and D1 is used.

The dc-dc back-end interleaved buck converter transfers energyfrom the dc-link to the batteries. As shown in Fig. 4, the backend dc-dc converter consists of two MOSFETs (S3 and S4), twoinductive filters (L3 and L4) and two diodes (D5 and D6). Theinductors are connected to the battery through the same point, andthe middle point of the dc-link is connecting to the middle pointof the output diodes D5 and D6. Though the ripple content is lowand power factor is high, the switching losses and voltage gain arenot upto the standard hence we are going for next topology [25].

can be achieved. Ac-dc converter suffers from harmonic injection,dc-link voltage ripple and to reduce that huge capacitor is neededwhich makes system bulky. Instead of using large capacitor, ultracapacitor is used in this topology, with this capacitor value is re-duced from 500 F to 10 F for single phase and 300 F to 10 F forthree phase [26]. The schematic diagram of unidirectional ac-dcconverter with coupled inductor is shown in Fig.9.

During positive half cycle, switch S1 is operated and during neg-ative half cycle, switch S2 is operated. The input side inductor isused to get input current nearly sinusoidal waveform. With the helpof coupled inductor, the gain is increased but ripple content presentin the voltage is also increased. The dc link voltage is adjusted byadjusting the duty cycle. Here, ultra capacitor is used as auxiliaryenergy storage system. The power density of the converter dependsupon the ratio of power to volume [27].The uses of ultra capacitor are:• Regenerated power is stored in drive system• To meet transient power requirement of the system• Ultra capacitor with dc-link can be used as a buffer for rippleenergy of dc-link

In Fig.10, the input voltage and output voltage of unidirectionalac-dc converter with coupled inductor is depicted. The input volt-age of 230V is bucked to 169V.F. Zero Voltage Source Hybrid Resonant PWM Converter(ZVSHRPWM)Power factor correction requires boost converter with diode bridgerectifier which has the drawback of high switching losses and con-duction losses. Thus, the bridgeless topology is preferred whichallows soft switching operation thereby enabling high frequency op-eration but still conduction losses exists. The proposed ZVS hybridresonant pulse width modulated converter (ZVSHRPWM) topologyshown in Fig.11, achieves zero voltage for all switches which mini-mizes the switching losses and zero current ZCS for output rectifierdiode to reduce the reverse recovery losses. The bridgeless oper-ation also minimizes the heat management issues in diode bridgerectifier [28 29]. The features of ZVSHRPWM:(i)The positive and negative of the AC supply need not be sensed.(ii) Size of resonant components are reduced compared to SEPICand CUK converter.(iii) Switching frequency can be high without any undesirable volt-age spike across the PWM switch

Only one input inductor Lin is required since the topology is bridge-less. Switches S1 and S2 are PFC switches which is driven withsame PWM signal and because of that it is not necessary to sensethe positive and negative half of input AC line. The converter op-erates in two mode:• When switches S1 and S2 are on, the circuit operates in resonantmode utilizing resonance between capacitance Cr, and inductanceLr,• When S1 and S2 are off and the auxiliary switch Sa is on, the cir-cuit operates in PWM mode. Hence its operation can be describedas hybrid resonant PWM. The operation of the proposed convertercircuit depends on resonant frequency of the HRPWM. Thus, therecan be three possible modes of operation when resonant frequencyis higher, lower or equal to the switching frequency [30]. The pro-posed topology has the following merits:• Soft switching operation• Reduced ripple content• High voltage gain• Switching losses are low• Low conduction lossesThus, the zero voltage source hybrid resonant PWM (ZVSHRPWM)converter is chosen for electric vehicle charging operation.

Fig.14, shows the voltage across the switch and current throughswitch. From the Fig.14, it is observed that the power transitionperiod is low and hence power loss across the switch is low comparedto the other topologies. The topologies are compared based on theparameters like voltage gain, ripple content, efficiency, number ofswitches, number of diodes and number of inductors. From theanalysis, the topology for battery charger has been chosen. Thecomparison is listed in table I.

ple content and low switching losses with low number of switches,diode and inductors. The proposed converter has 85.13 % efficiencyand also it enables the soft switching which allows high frequencyoperation. This topology reduces switching losses and conductionlosses by employing ZVS and ZCS. Thus, the ZVSHRPWM con-verter is suitable for battery charging application. The proposedtopology can also be used in plug-in hybrid vehicle(PHEV), resi-dential application and smart grid application

4 CONCLUSION

This paper has presented the various topologies of unidirectionalconverter for battery charging applications. These topologies aredesigned and simulated in MATLAB. From the results, it is ob-served that ZVS hybrid resonant PWM (ZVSHRPWM) results inhigh gain, high efficiency, reduced output voltage ripple, and lowswitching losses compared to the other topologies. Hence, the pro-posed AC-DC converter will be an appropriate topology for ElectricVehicles.
