Summary The electric vehicle promotion in the backdrop of environment and climate issues is very important. In this paper, bidirectional converter for an electric vehicle battery charging along with features to mitigate the harmonics and reactive power in a residential installation is presented. It consists of adaptive transverse filter for the detection of fundamental component of the load current. The additional tasks are assigned to an electric vehicle charger for power quality improvement. This leads to reduction in cost for utility and a revenue generating scheme for the vehicle owner. Thus, the power quality indices are evaluated for the bidirectional interface (inherent to the on board power electronic equipment of the vehicle) in charging and discharging modes of the battery. The performance of the proposed converter is validated with the prototype system of same specifications. The performance results are obtained during charging and discharging modes with steady‐state and dynamic conditions.
Summary This paper demonstrates the magnetic energy recovery switch–based power quality converter that provides regulated output direct current voltage along with power quality features. The output direct current voltage is regulated below the input voltage unlike other improved power quality converters. In this paper, design and analysis of magnetic energy recovery switch with respect to the converter is discussed. For us to control the output voltage, the closed‐loop control loop is established that includes voltage controller in the outer loop along with inner current controller loop. This inner loop generates the reference current using template of source voltage that controls the input current to maintain unity power factor operation. The performance of 500 W, 48 V/10 A prototype converter is investigated under dynamic and steady‐state conditions, and simulation results are discussed with different types of loads. Furthermore, its performances in percentage total harmonic distortion in source current with aforesaid loads are evaluated with varying source voltage. Based on study, the proposed converter is suitable for various applications requiring power at high current at reduced output voltage such as battery charging for electric vehicles.
