Discussion of Single-Stage Isolated Unidirectional AC-DC On-Board Battery Charger for Electric Vehicle
Abstract
Nowadays, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) have been given wide concerns all over the world due to their merits over the fuel vehicles. Electric vehicle (EV) technology is equipped with a high efficient on-board battery charger (OBC). The battery charger converters are classified into three main types; integrated converter with the machine, two-stage and single-stage structure. These three types of OBC are usually compromised according to power factor corrector (PFC), cost, efficiency and lifetime. In this paper, a recent survey about the various available single-stage isolated unidirectional OBC systems are compared regarding to the previous four metrics. Moreover, hardware limitation, performance, and the utilization of the semiconductors are considered in this review. Finally, those topologies are summarized considering various performance criteria.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
