Analysis of Boost Type Converter with Power Factor Correction Used in Electric Vehicle Chargers
Abstract
Battery charging is one of the most important issues in electric vehicle technology, which is predicted to replace fossil fuel vehicles in the future. For a correct and efficient charging process, the battery charging module should be well designed and its negative effects should be eliminated. One of the negative features of the charging module is its disruptive effects on the grid to which it is connected. These effects are low power factor and high harmonic distortion in the drawn grid current. In this study, in order to reduce the harmonic content of the current drawn from the grid and to obtain a power factor close to one, the single-phase Power Factor Correct (PFC) circuit structure including a boost type converter for 1st level (3 kW) on board battery charging was examined. The converter was simulated in Matlab / Simulink. It was observed that the waveforms on the grid side, harmonic percentage of the grid current, the power factor and the efficiency values of the system were considerably improved compared to the structure without PFC.
