Abstract

A dual purpose, high power, off-board battery charger for electric vehicles is presented. For higher viability and increased usage of the charger, grid conditioning capabilities are included in the concept. Conventional power electronic converter topologies are used in a new application, which combines fast EV battery charging with active filtering. Furthermore bi-directional power flow capabilities are provided to accommodate grid peak power requirements. Both simulation and experimental results are presented in this paper which demonstrate the capabilities of the new charger
