Charger control algorithm based on a single-phase Vienna rectifier

Melnikov Dmitry Vladimirovich, Petrovichev Maxim Alexandrovich

The application of a single-phase single-key PFC rectifier for use in electric vehicle chargers was studied in the article. The rectifier has a simple design and compact dimensions. It was derived from a three-phase Vienna rectifier, which has the advantages of low voltage per switch and high power factor. For the proposed rectifier, a control algorithm based on the equations of system dynamics has been developed. Computational experiments confirmed the acceptable performance of the proposed rectifier and control algorithm as an electric vehicle charger.
