Abstract


The quick rise of because of electric vehicles (EVs), there is a need for effective and dependable charging systems. Standard EV chargers typically use large and inefficient bridge rectifiers for converting AC to DC, which adds extra losses and complicates the design. This paper introduces a new EV charging method that uses an isolated Zeta-Luo converter, removing the need for a bridge converter in the AC to DC process. This new design aims to lower overall losses, boost efficiency, and increase power density, transforming it into great option for today’s EV chargers. The Zeta-Luo converter is chosen for its ability to work in buck-boost mode, allowing it to handle different input voltages while keeping a steady output voltage for charging. With an isolated setup, the system guarantees electrical safety and separation between the grid and the EV battery, addressing important safety issues. By removing the traditional bridge converter, the circuit becomes simpler, reducing the quantity of the elements and size, leading to a some small size and cost-effective design.
