Popis: By adding some switches to the traditional 24-pulse thyristor-based rectifier, this paper presents a new multi-pulse flexible-topology thyristor-based rectifier (mPFTTR) which has several operating modes, besides the conventional series and parallel modes. The new mPFTTR may be a suitable application in a single-stage battery charger of electric vehicles (EVs), which can work in five different modes: series mode with 24 pulses (SM24P), parallel mode with 24 pulse (PM24P), hybrid modes with 24 pulses (HM24P), series mode with 12 pulses (SM12P) and parallel mode with 12 pulses (PM12P). As fast charging seems especially important to a battery charger due to the continuously growth of EVs on the road, the paper also presents the predictive current control strategy combined with a multi-step constant current charging method to fulfill the fast-current response. Simulation verifications are carried out, and results show that this combined control strategy can adjust the charging current rapidly, which the fast charging is achieved.
