Review of Power Factor Correction (PFC) AC/DC-DC Power Electronic Converters for Electric Vehicle Applications

Abstract

This article fully discusses the general review on power factor correction of single-phase AC/DC-DC power electronic converters for electric vehicle applications. To magnify power quality in the declaration of Power Factor Correction (PFC) make the proposal of assorted for demand of solid-state DC-DC converters. These converters are look forward to minimize the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at the both input and output side and then to synchronize the DC voltage in DC-DC converters representation of both Uni/Bi-Directional power flow are analyzed. A complete review of Improved Power Quality Converter (IPQC) configuration, design feature, and specific value of selection are presented in this paper. The battery charger necessity to have a converter flow of power ability, a solution needs for an on/off-board charger of an Electric Vehicles (EVs).Due to high power density and efficiency, a DC-DC converters is preferred for medium power and high voltage applications, the most attractive feature of DC-DC converters that makes it suitable for handling medium power supplies is its soft-switching capability. This paper is aimed to research, design and to improve the working applications on clean energy and smart grid field.
