Three-Phase with Three Single-Phase Single-Stage Isolated AC-DC Converters for EV Charging Station Applications

To achieve high power density, and high efficiency in EV charging station applications, in this paper, a three-phase with three single-phase single-stage ac-dc converters based on LLC resonant converter with variable switching frequency and variable delay-time control is proposed. With the proposed control, only one control variable, either the switching frequency or the delay-time, is controlled at a particular instant during ac line cycle in order to shape the input current to achieve PFC. The proposed topology and control ensure ZVS turn-on of switches while also limiting the switching frequency variation range in wide input/output voltage range. The detailed block-diagram of control is provided. Finally, the experimental waveforms for 10kW single-phase single-stage ac-dc converter are provided.
