“…The design of the memory elements of the CBR is the same as that of a conventional boost converter. In addition to the CBR, dual boost bridge-less PFC rectifiers [54][55][56][57][58][59], totem-pole bridge-less PFC rectifiers [60][61][62][63], and interleaved boost PFC rectifiers [64] are more commonly used [65] in several products that need PFC. On the three-phase system side, Vienna rectifiers have become very popular [66] since they have inherent PFC capability.…”

The transportation industry is transitioning from conventional Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICVs) to Electric Vehicles (EVs) due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the rise in non-traditional energy sources. EVs are emerging as the new leaders in the industry. Some essential requirements necessary for the widespread adoption of EVs include sufficient charging stations with numerous chargers, less to no wait time before charging, quick charging, and better range. To enable a quicker transition from ICVs to EVs, commercial organizations and governments would have to put in a mammoth effort, given the low number of installed chargers in developing nations such as India. One solution to lower the waiting time is to have multiple vehicles charging simultaneously, which might involve charging two- and four-wheelers simultaneously, even though their battery voltage ratings differ. This paper begins by providing the details of the power sources for EV charging, the charging levels and connector types, along with the specifications of some of the commercial chargers. The necessity of AC-DC converters in EV charging systems is addressed along with the power quality concerns due to the increased penetration of EVs. Next, a review of the existing research and technology of isolated DC-DC converters for simultaneous charging of EV batteries is provided. Further, several potential isolated DC-DC converter topologies for simultaneous charging are described with their design and loss estimation. A summary of the existing products and projects with simultaneous charging features is provided. Finally, insight is given into the future of simultaneous charging.

“…P loss_total = P loss_sw + P loss_cap + P loss_cond (6) If parameters listed in Table 5 are used together with Equations (1)-( 6), then the estimation of the power losses of one transistor in the topology considered in Figure 1 is shown in Table 6. Here, it is seen that the selected GaN transistor is exhibiting lower switching losses.…”

“…Today, every manufacturer is trying to reduce the volume of the inverter that is connected to the mains in order to optimize the dimensions and weight. One of the ways to reduce the converter itself is to optimize it for higher switching frequencies, through which it is possible to use passive elements with smaller values and thus smaller dimensions [4][5][6][7].…”

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of circuit elements on the properties of the selected power factor correction (PFC) topology. Active or passive PFC serves to increase the power factor (PF) and reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the mains current. As a result, the distribution network is lightened due to its interference caused by connected electronic devices. An important indicator of all electronic converters is efficiency. Therefore, the work deals with the analysis of possible efficiency improvements in conjunction with the use of technologically new active components. Detailed experimental analyses and optimization procedures are performed in terms of the influence of transistor structures (SiC and GaN) on the qualitative indicators of the proposed PFC converter for a wide operating spectrum. The synthesis of the obtained results is given, together with recommendations for optimal selection and optimal design of PFC main circuit elements with regard to achieving peak efficiency values.

“…Considering the technological development of wide-bandgap components, it can be noted that SiC technology has held a relatively stable place in terms of the choice of semiconductor components in high-performance electronic systems. Manufacturers have a wide portfolio of these elements, while the differences in electrical properties are mainly due to technological know-how [19][20][21].…”

This paper evaluates the performance of the high-voltage wide-band gap SiC power transistors equipped within 3-phase bridgeless 3 kW PFC circuit. The main aim of the study is the experimental evaluation of the dynamic properties and driving power requirements of the transistors, for which the parameters are similar. These are competing products from different manufacturers, while the selection criterion was the same type of package technology (7 pin D2PAK). Second, the effect of the transistor type was analysed in terms of the performance efficiency of the PFC circuit. Within the analysis, the driver circuit was constructed first, and adapted to high voltage transistor driving. During individual measurements, the driver remained the same, while gate-driver losses were analysed for individual transistors. The obtained results reveal differences related to requirements on driving power, as well as to the dynamics of transistors themselves. At the end of the paper, the evaluation of efficiency for different operating conditions of a constructed PFC converter is realized. The obtained results provide a more detailed overview of the dynamic properties of transistors and their impact on the resulting efficiency of the main circuit also in terms of driving requirements.
