New Single-stage Interleaved Totem-pole AC-DC Converter for Bidirectional On-board Charger

In this paper a new single-stage ac-dc converter with high frequency isolation and low components count is introduced. The proposed converter is constructed using two interleaved boost circuits in the grid side and non-regulating full bridge in the DC side. An optimized switching is implemented on the two interleaved boost circuits resulting in a ripple-free grid current without a ripple cancellation network; hence very small filter inductors are used. A simple and reliable closed-loop control system is easily implemented, since the phase-shift angle is the only independent variable. Moreover, current imbalance is avoided in the presented topology without current control loop in each phase. The proposed charger charges the battery with a sinusoidal-like current instead of a constant direct current. ZVS turn on of all switches is achieved throughout the operation in both directions of power flow without any additional components.
