SINGLE POWER CONVERSION BATTERY CHARGER FOR LIGHT ELECTRIC VEHICLES - A Simulation and Hardware Implementation This book presents a novel single power conversion battery charger designed for light electric vehicles, focusing on high efficiency, improved power factor, and reliable performance. The proposed system effectively addresses two major challenges in conventional chargers-conduction losses and the reverse recovery problem in power diodes-through the integration of diode rectifiers on both sides of the transformer and a series resonance circuit. By enabling Zero Current Switching (ZCS),...
