Single‐stage battery charger for light electric vehicles based on DC‐SRC with current‐boosting circuit

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: A single‐stage battery charger for light electric vehicles to improve lifetime by removing high‐voltage electrolytic capacitors is suggested. The proposed charger is based on a diode‐clamped series resonant converter equipped with a current‐boosting circuit, which increases the power factor by removing dead zones in the line current. The feasibility of the proposed charger has been verified with a 1.7 kW prototype.
