A comprehensive review on isolated and non-isolated converter configuration and fast charging technology: For battery and plug in hybrid electric vehicle

Electric vehicle systems are a promising future transportation system because they play an important role in reducing atmospheric carbon emission and have become a focal point of research and development in the present era. The emerging fast charging technology has the ability to have refueling experiences comparable to gasoline cars. This article discusses existing electric vehicle charging infrastructure with a particular emphasis on rapid charging technolo-gies, which would be needed to meet current and potential EV refueling requirements. Various dc -dc converter topologies for battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are compared and con-trasted in this article in terms of performance, output power, current ripples, voltage ripples, conduction loss, recovery loss, switching frequency loss, reliability, durability, and cost. The architecture, benefits, and drawbacks of AC-DC and DC-DC converter topologies for rapid charging stations are also discussed in this article. Furthermore, this study addresses the crucial problems and difficulties associated with electric vehicle converters for direct current rapid charging. Eventually, technical and relevant contributions are provided for an electric vehicle system development.
