A Novel Multilevel Bidirectional Topology for On-Board EV Battery Chargers in Smart Grids
This paper proposes a novel on-board electric vehicle (EV) battery charger (EVBC) based on a bidirectional multilevel topology.The proposed topology is formed by an AC-DC converter for the grid-side interface and by a DC-DC converter for the battery-side interface.Both converters are interfaced by a split DC-link used to achieve soderhamn ottoman c
