We have developed a new isolated AC/DC converter for electric vehicle on-board chargers. It consists of an AC/DC converter with Gradationally Controlled Voltage Inverter (GCVI AC/DC converter) and an isolated Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) DC/DC converter, each of which is optimally controlled to convert in a highly efficient means. As a result, the new on-board charger has achieved a power conversion efficiency of over 94%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
