Integrated Single Phase Charger for Electric Vehicle Using Dual Inverter Drive

Adoption of electric vehicles is reliant on the presence of a charging infrastructure. The advent of rapid chargers is one answer to this problem, but this solution necessitates the installation of extra magnetic components, increasing the mass of the EV. The dynamic reuse of drive train equipment for the purpose of energizing when a vehicle is immobile is an alternative strategy. This paper suggests an integrated single-phase charger that makes use of the motor and traction inverter. The suggested solution uses a dual inverter drive train, which allows for higher voltage charging than is possible with traditional techniques. This technology provides grid services and support with real and reactive energy exchange in both directions and at any power factor.
