Battery charging system for PHEV and EV using single phase AC/DC PWM buck converter

In this paper, a battery charging system for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV), and operation algorithm of charging system is introduced. Also, the proposed charging system uses commercial electricity in order to charge the battery of parked PHEV, and 48V battery charging system with power factor controllable single phase converter for PHEV is investigated in this paper. This research verifies the power factor control of input and the converter output controlled by the charge control algorithm through simulation and experiment.
