A novel efficient rule based controller for electric vehicles switch mode battery charger

The paper presents a laboratory prototype implementation of a novel low distortion battery charger. The battery charger is controlled by an error driven error scaled gain adjusting voltage regulator with a supplementary harmonic reduction and ripple elimination loop. The charger regulator ensures minimum harmonic distortion during the charging period. The proposed scheme is suitable for a large charger (5-10 kW) used in electrical vehicle fast battery charging.<
