This paper presents a novel converterconcept of the off-board electric vehicle (EV) charging, which is based on an unfolding rectification approach where the three-phase Vienna rectifier-based unfolder (VRU) is followed by two identical isolated current-source converter (CSC) modules in input-series output-parallel configuration. The VRU operates at low frequency and thus features negligible switching losses, while the CSCs are responsible for the synthesis of the high-quality sinusoidal grid current waveforms and output voltage regulation. The proposed configuration features two time-varying soft DC-links, thus no bulky electrolytic capacitors are required. Input inductors of the CSCs limit the input current ripple, eliminating the need for separate grid filter inductors. Another notable advantage lies in the simplicity of the control system. Each CSC operates at a fixed frequency and provides the required current wave-shaping using only a single independent control variable, while no high-frequency synchronization between the two modules is required. The proposed configuration features a modular structure and was verified with a scaled 5 kW experimental prototype based on two identical 2.5 kW dc-dc modules and a common unfolding stage. During the experiments, the system provided power factor above 0.97 and THD below 5%. At rated power, the maximal efficiency of 94.8% was obtained. |
