| description | This article outlines the comprehensive design and control approach for a single-phase bidirectional rectifier (SPBR) used in bidirectional charging of electric vehicle batteries. The operational parameters of the inverter are determined through a thorough analysis of all switching sequences to accurately assess power losses, considering the type of switching device chosen in each case, enabling proper component sizing, and understanding converter efficiency. An exclusive electronic control circuit is examined, governing two converter operation modes: boost rectifier with power factor correction (PFC) and sine pulse inverter width modulation (SPWM) with a minimum number of adjustments made automatically. One problem that arises when addressing the design of an SPBR is determining the operating frequency. To address this issue, this study offers to conduct a comparative analysis of losses using various power devices and magnetic circuits to determine the optimal operating frequency for achieving maximum energy efficiency. To validate the design’s feasibility, a prototype with 10 kW output power was constructed, achieving a peak efficiency of approximately 97.5% in both directions, unity power factor (PF), and total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 7% during full power operation. |
